Includes AM - FM radio, cassette, CD, AUX-in, so you can use it to play just about anything. The radio gets excellent reception on both AM and FM, pulling in clear signals on stations that some other radios I have do not even get. Tape has correct speed so your music sounds right. (I bought a discount-brand tape player a few years ago and it was worthless because the tapes played too slow and sounded terrible. This one sounds perfect.) CD has features to repeat song, repeat whole disc, etc. Plus it plays regular CDs or MP3 CDs that you can make on your computer. (When you make an MP3 CD you keep the music as MP3 files rather than telling the computer to make an audio CD. The advantage is you can get about 150 songs on a CD this way,) You can also play audio off of your phone or tablet by using a 3.5 mm cord to the AUX input. Mega Bass makes music sound great (you can turn it on or off with a button, which you might want to turn it off if listening to news/voice or playing it at lower volume).
Not too many units like this are available anymore where you get all of these features in one - especially the cassette tape. I’m glad I found this because it works great and has excellent sound.
I bought this to replace a small CD/radio that stopped working. I like the fast that this also plays cassette tapes. I am enjoying the old tapes as well as the CDs. It has a nice sound to it.
Your unit comes with a 1-year limited manufacturer's warranty. If you are unable to resolve your concern, please email us at socialsupport@am.sony.com with the following details:

Hi Sodamania,
We appreciate you like our product. We're sorry if the CD function stopped working. Please try following the steps provided on the link below to isolate the problem.
I had one of these before, has everything I need but after three years the tape player and the CD player both crapped out nothing but a radio now, bummed. Tried something similar but had cassette issues. So, gonna try this a second time and see what the longevity is. I'd recommend this only with a warning of three years.
I would recommend this to a friend!
