What is the sound quality like for cd player and radio?

The sound quality is great... Its not as good as a bose mp3 player but good. I was surprised with the quality while playing a cd. The radio is not bad, the reception can be tough but it's not bad.

Purchased as gift for my brother. He said "it's awesome, best gift in a long time, great sound for the size, reminds me of the old hi-fi from the 70's". Hope this helps.

No issues. I bought this for my apartment in lieu of an expensive Bose system. ;)

I bought it for my mother in another state. She loves it. She has mostly old 78 records and a few CDs and she said it was great for both.

Yes it plays music CD's and with the sound button on the remote you will get various options for sound quality.

Hi Brenda,I am sorry to tell you, that I purchased this for a "back-up" unit, so did not use it much. It is stored at this point. If it helps, I noticed that it had quite a bit of volume when I did try it with cd's. The AM radio was not great, but the sound quality was very good. Again, sorry for the lack of a technical answer! Regards, David

I agree with the rest. You will need some type of amplifier or receiver, (amplifier with AM/FM radio capabilities). Your disc player is equivalent to a turntable for an old fashioned component stereo system, (if you are old enough to remember). The disc player is an input device, but the amplifier is what makes it all happen.

No to both questions. A warning if you have'nt purchased this player. The cd player is crap--it stops playing intermittently with evey cd I try to play. A lesson to be learned here is that with cheap prices come cheap electronics.I would not recommend this product. Even the connections for the speaker wires when inserted into the radio/cd unit don't fit tight and have to be played with to get a solid connection. The am band in my area --Long Island N.Y. is bad and you can't turn the unit around in the hopes of getting a stronger signal because of the wires for the speakers and the placement of the unit if you do get a good signal---the tuning buttons and tuner knob may not be facing you it may be facing away from you. This is my experience with this purchase. Spend more money to hopefully to get a better product.

Hadn't tried it until your question, but just listened to a classical piece on the NPR FM station and I thought the quality was excellent, the sound very clear and the stereo separation terrific. Another impressive feature for this unit.

I don't know but with the digital inputs we don't use cd's much anymore. Seems easier to rip the cd's to a usb drive. anyway seem like the stereo is easy to operate and we are not very high tech people. we love it

I dont know.I tried the radio and sent it back due to poor audio quality. Never loaded a CD.

That sounds good. I am in the process of reripping the CDs that are WMA's - I knew the Ipod wouldn't play them, and I was worried about the sound quality with converted files. Thanks for the reply!

No, nor has it ever played cd's. I bought it for a Christmas gift so I had it too long to return it. Junk. My girls can hear scratchy radio from it, but that's it. This isn't what you are looking for.

Technically yes, but I wouldn't really recommend it for a CD Player. CD Player/Cassette Deck would sound incomplete without the Stereo Effect. Marshall MS-2's sound is more like mono and it won't shake up the floor but it's good enough for Bedroom Jam.

Take into account that BT will compress the signal, so quality is somehow degraded. But I do really doubt that most of people can perceive this kind of degradation. I think it is imperceibable, because if your loudspeakers or headphones are not HiFi then it doesn´t matter how much quality your input signal is. No doubt that SPDIF or Coax signal is clearer than analog. But I have a Belkin V82 standard connected to a Technics amp with a couple of JBL Arena speakers and the sound quality, as far as my ears can perceive, is the same as compared to a CD.

Actually on Windows, I convert my CD's to mp3 using the included Microsoft Media Player. Under the "rip music" tab in the preference you can select the format as "mp3" and dial up the "Audio Quality" to as much as 320 bps. Once set in preferences it runs automatically every time I stick in a CD. You don't need to add software to do this. For me the sound quality seem great ... but do note I am no longer a young person and my hearing is not what it used to be ... so this particular part of my opinion should be taken with that in mind.

Agreed -- it sounds just like I am listening to my car's radio. It isn't awful by any means. In my opinion, if you have to go the cassette adapter route to begin with, then this is the best you will likely get.

Does the cd player have coax or optical digital output? If so it will work fine.

Contrary to other opinions i think the quality sound of this CD player is exceptional!!!

I assume they are if your CD player has a headphone jack. They are basically standard headphones that can be used anywhere an audio jack is available.
