Digital camera reviews of Portable CD Player with Cassette
Digital camera Review: Beware of defective CD player
Summary: 1 Stars
I ordered this to use in my son's room, mainly needing the CD player. I used it for a short time when the CD player suddenly stopped working. I returned it and received a new unit. After less than a month, the same thing happened with the replacement. I am in the process of trying to return it and I am moving on to something different in brand and price range. Hopefully the new product will work for more than just a month. Perhaps this is a case of you get what you pay for? Regardless, stay away and buy something that will actually work.Digital camera Review: Big Disappointment

Digital camera Review: Compact, attractive and cheap - but poor sound quality
Summary: 3 Stars
This little boombox has a lot going for it. It has a snappy, cute design, very compact size and the price is remarkably low. However, the downside is that it just doesn't put out very good sound. There is no bass to speak off, the midranges are hollow and tinny and most of the high end sounds are cut off. I would compare the sound quality to that of cheap PC speakers. There is no electronic sound processing (i.e. "Pop", "Rock" and "Classical" settings) either.
That said, the jWin does pack a lot of funtionality into it's modest size. It plays CDs, cassettes and has an AM/FM tuner. Reportedly you can record CD to cassette, or radio broadcast to cassette, but this is not something I have tested. The presence of a condenser mic implies voice recording, but again I didn't test this.
The AM/FM tuner is nice - it's a manual tuning dial, which I always appreciate over electronic "snap-to" tuners. There is a telescoping antenna which did a fair job of picking up FM stations from the 20 mile-distant metro area. Rather than electronic tuning, radio frequencies are printed on a wheel which is viewed through a small magnifying bubble. This bubble makes the small print larger, but narrows the viewing angle to straight on only.
The jWin runs on 6 C cell batteries, which is better than the 10-D cells another unit I considered.
The main task of this boombox will be to play audiobooks on CD and cassette for an 8-year old child. I am not certain how well it will perform at this task. I would certainly not use it to play music because of its inferior sound quality.
The jWin does have headphone jacks, and it may well be that it's cheap speakers are less of an issue with a good set of headphones plugged in.
In the end, a boombox is a portable stereo used fill a room with sound. For that reason, I had to disregard the low price and nice design and give it three stars for poor sound.

Sony CFD-E100 Portable CD Radio Cassette Recorder
I am very well satisfied with this little electronic marvel. It is so versatile, having so many uses in this one box. And the quality of the tone it emits is very good. I'm enjoying it a lot.
