Digital camera reviews of Coby MP-CD450 Portable MP3/CD Player with AM/FM Tuner and Cassette Deck
Digital camera Review: CD motor doesn't last more than a week or two
Summary: 1 Stars
Despite all warnings by previous reviewers, I went ahead and bought this CD player thinking that I'd have better luck. But, as with previous reviewers, the CD player motor broke within the first two weeks of use. After the first two weeks, it refused to play, constantly listing "Read" in its display. With some tinkering, I figured out that you could continue to play a CD if you "jump start" it yourself by: a) quickly spinning the CD manually, and b) closing the lid and pressing Play while the CD is still going. Apparently, the motor is just no good on cold starts after the first few weeks. In total, I've been able to play about 4 CDs on this before it broke.
I never used the tape feature, but the radio seems to work as well as any low-quality small radio would work. The appearance of the player is stylish, and it's a nice small size.
If, like me, you're looking to buy a cheap CD player, please heed the warnings of multiple reviewers. I disregarded, and ended up hitting the same issues as they did. Beware!
Summary of Coby MP-CD450 Portable MP3/CD Player with AM/FM Tuner and Cassette Deck
Coby Electronics MP-CD450 Portable CD/Radio/Stereo Cassette Player/Recorder MP-CD450 BoomboxesListen to your favorite CDs, MP3s, audiocassettes, and radio programs while away from home with the Coby MP-CD450 portable stereo system. A great fit for folks who want an affordable stereo for tailgaters or outdoor parties, the system is built around its top-loading CD player, which plays traditional audio CDs and CD-R/RWs along with MP3s recorded on CD. The device gives listeners access to more of their digital music library while also cutting down on CD cargo for road trips (the average CD-R holds 10 hours of compressed MP3 music). The CD player also boasts search and repeat (one or all) functions, along with a backlit LED display that details track and artist information.
To complement the CD player, Coby included both an auto-stop cassette deck and an analog AM/FM tuner. The deck's two-way recording (CD and radio) sounds particularly good thanks to the one-touch automatic level control, which ensures consistent results regardless of the source. Meanwhile, the AM/FM radio offers an alternative for folks who enjoy talk programming and DJ playlists.
The feature set concludes with a pair of 4-inch wide-range speakers (2 watts x 2), which produce a solid overall sound. Though not powerful, the speakers do the job, especially considering the system's affordable price. The MP-CD450 also includes a 3.5 mm headphone jack and a carrying handle, and runs on eight D-size batteries or AC power.
