JensenCD-490 Portable Stereo CD Player with AM/FM Radio and Aux Line-in, Red and Black

I've been using it for about a week or two and it has been great. The volume can be turned up loud so we only have it up half way (or less) which is plenty for our small living room. I bought it for my 1 year old to play her cds without having to worry about her breaking it. It's a wonderful purchase for the price. Some things that are hard for a child is that the volume control and radio tuner is a dial knob rather than a push button so its hard for a young toddler to set them just right - easy to crank up the volume too high or make it too quiet - I think I can tape the volume knob down with duck tape or something if it starts to become a problem for her. Also, the play button is the small round black button on the very right on the front of the player above the lcd screen. It's small so it could be hard for some people without dexterity to push. Overall very happy with the purchase.

This little system has bang for the buck. It has a manual radio tuner (if you live in an area with poor radio signals, you know why this is important). It also has a physical antenna, so you can position it to pick up the best signal.The CD player is nice. It even plays the CDs I burned of my digital music purchases with ease.The speakers are good. They are small, but the volume is decent. I wouldn’t use this in a noisy place, however. In a quiet home it does carry well.Mine did not come with a remote so I can’t review that. Overall I am very happy with my purchase and I have used it daily since it arrived.

This is really a cute little bugger (it kind of looks like a bug). And it's small - fits most anywhere. The photo doesn't do it justice. The candy apple red and black color motif is really beautiful. --- The on/off slide switch is on the left side, which makes it kind of difficult to get to since I use it on my bedside night stand and the switch side faces the wall, but once you know which way to slide it to do what you want, it's easy to do without seeing the switch. The AM/FM radio is on the right side with the CD player in the middle. -- The radio is a surprisingly good radio with good noise separation between channels and pulls in channels quite well with the antenna extended. The CD player is flawless so far, and the sound quality of this little player is also surprisingly good - I rate the sound quality "excellent" for the machine's size and price mark. Don't think you could find better sound quality in anything at the same low price of this unit. -- The buttons are rather hard to depress, meaning; they resist being depressed, which cost it's review one star. It's feet are resistant enough on a varnished surface to keep from it sliding away when trying to put enough pressure on the buttons to get them to move. Not so sure the feet would hold it in place if placed on a slicker surface. -- Overall; I would definitely recommend this CD player to anyone.

I purchased this to replace an older, worn out radio in my garage. This little unit picks up so many more stations than the old one and the sound quality is very good.

After using the radio for a couple weeks I put in a CD and the CD player didn't work.Why did you pick this product vs others?:I think it was discounted.

Nice radio for the price. Even has an aux in port.

JUNE 2021 UPDATE--sometimes I read reviews on Amazon and am amazed at how the reviewer can be so angry about a product. I think I'm beginning to figure it out. This product should not have been allowed to advertise that it has an AM/FM radio. I can only conclude that either the vendor did this intentionally or they incompetently never tested it. It is painfully difficult to tune it to a station. The a photo attached (please excuse the fact that it's upside down) show s the tuning scale when the radio has been tuned to the station at 1350 on the AM dial. Note that if I tuned to listen to the station at 940, the dial would still show as being above 1400. And then if the radio drifts a little bit, using the tuner to correct the drift is a 10 minute ordeal. Do not buy this device if you want a radio. If the price point is proper for you for a CD player, then go ahead and get it, I guess.ORIGINAL REVIEW--I acquired this device for two purposes: 1) to listen to my CD collection, and 2) to listen to various sports events and new shows on the radio. The CD player is perfectly fine. I enjoy playing all my CDs The sound is satisfactory. However usability in tuning the AM/FM radio is very disappointing. While I have nothing against a tuning knob necessarily, turning the knob to change the radio station on this device is very difficult. A one degree turn of the knob will take me completely by the station that I am trying to reach. I found this to be the case on both the AM and FM bands. Further, the frequency markings are not accurate to where are the stations are found. If you want this device In order to play compact discs, then by all means go ahead and get it. However it is not the device you want if you plan to be tuning between radio stations.

This radio works great. It has great sound.
