3.0 out of 5 stars
For Small But Not Narrow Spaces,
By
This review is from: Sony CFD-E100LS CD Radio Cassette (Electronics)
This player was bought for the kitchen, so sound quality - within reason - was not a priority. It is sold as a compact model, so as compactness was an issue it was chosen.
The build quality is perfectly good for the money and the range of features fit for purpose. The sound quality is reasonable, if a bit top-heavy and lacking in subtlety. Both CD and cassette playback are OK. The FM tuner is OK, but locally Radio Three is a little weak and it can't receive in stereo without high levels of background noise. It is nice to note that it retains Long Wave, something vanishing from cheaper models of this type. So why only three stars? It does everything well enough except the one thing it is sold on - space. The player is certainly smaller than many other similar players. But the AC/Mains lead supplied sticks out of the back and is so large it needs an extra 8-10 cm of space on a shelf, thus ruining the units compactness. If the lead had come out of one end it would have been capable of going into narrower spaces. So overall, for the money it is reasonable value and providing you don't listen too closely, it makes a happy sound. But allow some space wherever you put it.

This review is from: Sony CFD-E100LS CD Radio Cassette (Electronics)
The quality of this beast was a pleasant surprise. It is, of course, well made, as was every Sony item I've owned. The surprise is the sound quality.
It was a late birthday present for my wife, who likes classical music in her room on a mixture of FM radio, tape and CD's. It plays all perfectly (once she found the cassette slot ;-) ) and the sound quality is excellent. I believe it's all do with computers but, to one of my generation, it sounds like magic. Highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Exactly what we needed,
By
This review is from: Sony CFD-E100LS CD Radio Cassette (Electronics)
We were looking for a radio with long wave, so that my wife could listen to the morning service that is only broadcast on that wave length. Also a CD player and a cassette machine for our ancient collection.
After perusing the Internet we decided that this model was what we wanted and not being particular about sound quality we have found it to be adequate. The only downside being that working from the remote control it is impossible to see which mode is switched to and also which station on the radio. A backlight would have been nice. The facilty to see the name of the stations would also have been helpful, rather that having to look up wave lengths. How many people can memorise station numbers, so that reference to a newspaper is required if searching for a particular one? I find presets are not very helpful, as I can never remember which station is set for a particular number. Otherwise and excellent set.
