Amazon.com Product Description
The CFD-ZW755 CD/radio cassette recorder sports a convenient handle so your tunes can go anywhere you do, whether you're blasting tunes for friends or listening in private through the supplied stereo headphones. The unit's CD player uses a one-bit digital-to-analog audio converter for pristine sound, and audio CD-R/CD-RW compatibility means the box will play your home-brewed music mixes as well as prerecorded CDs. The CFD-ZW755 includes a digital AM/FM stereo tuner, too. Four electronic sound modes (rock/pop/jazz/vocal) let you tailor the sound for listening to various different types of music or in different environments, while Mega Bass sound enhances low-frequencies in any sound mode. Perfect for parties, the unit comes with Sony's Loop/Flash sound effects. Loop continuously repeat a few seconds of music, while Flash provides intermittent playback for a DJ-like stuttering effect. With synchronized CD/cassette dubbing, CD playback commences just after cassette recording begins. The stereo record/playback cassette deck provides direct recording from either the tuner, the CD player, or another cassette. Other features include four-inch detachable speakers and 20-track CD programming. The unit runs on the supplied AC power cord or six D batteries. What's in the Box

 Something to Sell at a Yard Sale October 29, 2009

This is an inferior product. I bought it mainly for use on vacations or as something on which to audition tapes or discs when I don't feel like using my component system. Even for these limited uses, it is bad news.
Despite its limited use, the CD player tends to skip on discs that play perfectly elsewhere. The tape player is even more unreliable. Sony puts sound mode settings on this unit, but they make absolutely no difference, regardless of the source. The sound quality at any setting is only fair at best. If you want "mega bass" (I don't particularly care), forget it. As with the sound modes, the button for mega bass is a fake.
I hang on to it only because I don't use it enough to get sufficiently angry to smash it with an axe. I probably should sell it for about $2 at a yard sale, but I hate to rip someone off that way.

This item arrived on time and in excellant condition. I purchased it because it had dual cassettes as well as a cd player. I have been very pleased with the sound it delivers.
radio is useless, CD player is dying. December 20, 2008

I bought this 6 years ago but should have returned it immediately. Although I live in a large city the FM reception is practically non-existant. The antenna has to be set just right to pick up the strongest station in town, but even that dissolves in interference when a person or pet walks across the room or a car goes down the street. I've tried the antenna at different lengths and attached wires and foil to it to no avail. The AM reception is no prize either; the box has to be re-oriented just right every time you change the station.
Now the CD player is dying. At first cleaning the lens helped a little but not anymore. Either the disc won't play at all or only plays the first few tracks, then spins out of control making a chattering noise. This is after very light CD use over the years. When it works it only plays factory CDs; it doesn't take CD-RW or mp3, and is very touchy about CD-Rs.
That leaves the dual cassette players....they make a lot of mechanical noise when playing, and dubbing from deck to deck yields poor quality copies. Of course the cassette decks are purely mechanical, meaning they can't be remote controlled.
This box convinced me Sony's days as a quality brand are over and is only cruising on its past reputation. The products lately are in the same class as Emerson & other cheapie store brands - preferring visual flash to catch kids' eyes while disguising junk inside.

While searching for a newer boombox with SD/Flash reading capabilities, I was amazed to see the Sony box that I purchased over seven years ago still in production. Let me just say that no boombox, relative to a mid-priced stereo receiver, is going to give you awsome sound, despite the claims. However, this box is very solidly built and has a warm, rich bass sound that does not distort. Turn it up almost to the highest setting and it still plays cleanly. Literally, I have left the box out in light rain and the remote control in a downpour, and the both still work flawlessly. It is a fairly large and heavy unit as far as portable players go. Yet, that is a testament to the build quality and music quality produced by the unit.
I give it less than 5 stars primarily because it is dated. If you are still playing cassettes and CD's this is a great unit to consider. If you are moving towards the digital music age, intending to reap the rewards of an Mp3 device or small storage card, then this unit is not to be considered. Quite frankly, I'm tired of dragging jewel cases out when I want to listen to music on the patio or elsewhere. I want to be able to transfer several albums of music files off my PC to a SD card that fits in the palm of my hand.
The other reason that I reduced by a star is due to the overpricing. I paid about $100 for the Box over seven years ago. Generally, the price of electronic products does not inflate.
 not a portable May 24, 2008

This is an okay machine, but it should not be called portable. Just because it has a handle, it isn't portable. It is too heavey and awkward to carry with the speakers attached. Also--it does not fit in small spaces.
