Sylvania SRCD243 Portable CD Player with AM/FM Radio, Boombox (Silver)

The only con is that it plays the FROZEN soundtrack over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over. Maybe I should get my six year old a different CD. Oh yeah, the volume seems to get stuck on high. I ask her to turn it down, she yells OKAY........ and ........ no change.

it sounds good and its a good size for carrying around, thought it'd be bigger and im honestly glad it wasnt :]]

Despite the warnings in other reviews, I bought this for its simplicity, price point, and charming color. I was particularly excited because it was toted as being CD-R compatible. Initially, I was pleased. The first time, I played a brand new CD, and the player worked great. The second time, I had a far different experience. I put in a different cd. It played the first song. Then, the numbers changed as though it was progressing through the play list, but the disc simply continued to spin with no additional songs playing or sound. I tried 5 more CDs and had the same experience. They would either play one song and spin without playing more or spin without playing at all. These were all purchased CDs. So, I have essentially purchased a radio with a non-working cd player. Needless to say, I wish that I had heeded the reviews and not wasted my money. I plan to contact the company. Horribly disappointed with this product.

Very disappointed. Stopped playing CDs one month after purchase, giving error message "No". The manufacturer's warranty is a whopping 90 days, so I'd better contact them soon to see if they'll do anything to make it right.Edit: CD player started working again, so I've upped my rating. Still doesn't feel very hardy, but it works fine.

Works great. Fits in the perfect spot. Doesn't take up alot of room.

Good sound quality,reception.

It's okay. If you're looking for a portable radio to play AM/FM you'll be fine. If you're looking for a portable radio to play CDs I would skip this all entirely. Any minor scratches on a CD it will skip,jump or not play at all. It is also very loud sopinning, when you get a CD to play.

We bought Sylvania SRCD243 Portable CD Player with AM/FM Radio, Boombox (Blue) a month agoBought 4/19/16 for my 9 yr old granddaughter to replace her old one. It is next to her bed and is simple to use. She loves it. She listens to CDs when she goes to bed and sometimes when she is playing in her room. It never leaves her nightstand. I don't know what everyone is reviewing and Amazon lumps review for various similar products together but our player is holding up fine.Follow-up: As of June 1, it still works fine. It is very lightweight and it is probably cheaply made. As such, it won't stand up to a lot of banging around. However, it has great sound, very crisp and clear. Radio works better than the last one we had. It doesn't have an antenna on ours. She gets her favorite station on this one without an antenna and couldn't get it on the old player with an antenna.
