MagnavoxMM451 3-Piece Tray Loading CD Shelf System with Digital PLL FM Stereo Radio, Bluetooth Wireless Technology, and Remote Control in Black | LCD Display | AUX Port Compatible |

Needed a CD player for an old collection of music which isn't all available through streaming services. "Boom box" variety of players were never very satisfactory, but this shelf unit provides decent sound and great convenience. We like the large dials and basic controls. Minor issues during set up included: speakers seemed not to work because the wire attached to the speakers was jammed in too far so the connector was actually gripping the plastic wire cover. This was easily fixed once we figured it out. Also had trouble setting the clock until we figured out that the unit has to be turned off for the clock setting feature to work. FM radio does not get great reception in our house, but we stream our radio stations through another device anyway. I definitely recommend this unit for anyone who just needs a simple CD player.

The first unit I received was returned because the left VU meter was dead and the clock could not be reset according to the manual. The second unit was shipped by Amazon immediately. Everything worked fine except the clock--still no reset. But there is a way to set the clock accurately. This procedure can only be done one time per day! Wait until a minute before midnight. When the clock strikes twelve unplug the unit and plug it back in and turn it on. The clock is set and will function perfectly until the next power failure or unplugging. Many thanks to our eastern friends who seem to have no concern for quality control.

Let me tell you........... my 89 yr old mother looovvveess this gift. Easy to operate, sounds great and she has talked about this gift for two weeks and how much she loves her stereo and how easy it is to operate. I bought her one before and it was a nightmare. Different brand with bells and whistles but hard as hell to operate. This one has bells and whistles but very easy to operate. Thank you for thinking about seniors because everyone is not tech savvy.

After a year, I just found out where I bought this radio or I would have returned it! (My bad) I only wanted it for the c.d. player. It wasn't the loudest but that was fine. I then noticed the c.d. would skip when I was several feet from the player. Then one speaker quit working. The c.d. player kept getting worse. I do believe I just got a bad stero system. I sold it for $10 @ a yard sale.

The sound volume and clarity is amazing. The Vu meters are a nice touch and it has a speaker balance knob seldom found in units of this size & cost. The only glitch is that the slightest vibration causes it to skip so make sure the speakers aren't near the player.
