Sony CFD-S05 Digital CD Radio Cassette Player
The Sony CFD-S05 Digital CD Radio Cassette Player is a cost-effective way to enjoy your tunes in multiple formats. The CFD-S05 gives you access to the AM/FM radio, CD-R/CD-RW playback, the option to connect your MP3 player or other portable audio devices via the stereo minijack audio input, and a cassette player/recorder. With the S05 you'll have old school and current audio playback options, and the satisfaction of having made a budget-conscious choice.
In addition to the various audio playback options, the radio also features a headphone output and AC or battery power options.

Even though cassette players are not used much anymore, there is those that have a lot and like to listen to tape and having compatibility to play cd's as well when needed, best yet it can used for weather related emergencies with batteries for the radio.

The Sony portable stereo is the perfect addition for the boombox or radio enthusiast. With its excellent sound output, digital FM/AM tuner, cassette player/recorder, CD player, program, shuffle, random CD playback modes, and CD-R/RW playback, this boombox would make a great addition for any home or outdoor activity. This unit sports an impressive features list including an LCD display, telescopic antenna for FM reception, built-in AM antenna, 30 FM/AM station presets, soft touch tape transport controls, CD/Cassette synchronized recording, headphone jack, auxiliary input for MP3 player, two full range speakers, bass reflex sound system, carry handle, power button, volume controls, FM mode button, direct input source selection, and CD transport controls. The Sony CFD-S05 stereo is complimented with sturdy build quality, excellent radio reception, and is lightweight. The Sony portable is powered by 6 C batteries or the unit can be powered by AC household current with the supplied, detachable AC power cord.

Comments about Sony CFD-S05 Digital CD Radio Cassette Player:
this boombox is being used with an iPhone attached and works really well, the volume is limited, not a BOOM box of yesteryear perse, though it's adequate for a small room. I would recommend this.

Comments about Sony CFD-S05 Digital CD Radio Cassette Player:
The CD player/radio , what used to be called a boombox , sits on my bedside table . I bought it because it would take a forklift to move my stereo from the other end of the house to where it is comfortable for me to lie down and listen to music.Played at a volume compatible with my snoozing dogs and the tamer music I like in the very late night , it sounds pretty good.With a good pair of headphones also bought from B&H for my laptop (bought from B&H , of course)CDs of untamed music sound just fine when other moods strike.
