I bought this to replace a Philips stereo which lasted a year. In the hope of this lasting longer, I spent another 50+ pounds on this model, and I was very happy.
In the box comes a slim remote controller (without AAA batteries), with an English manual (for UK) and a power lead. The stereo itself is very well designed, and sturdy. It does not seem to be made out of the cheap plastic my previous Philips, Sharp, Hitachi stereos were made out of.
The stereo itself is not light, not heavy. Its handle is huge, the aerial is normal, cassette deck is well positioned with the buttons, and the CD tray is on the top. One down side is that the CD door is quite large, so it takes some time to open and close - but the oil will wear down on that.
Whats not mentioned anywhere is that this speaker actually has CONVEX shaped speakers, which is rather wierd, as normal speakers are concave shaped, but apparently its a design to allow more dynamic and wide music output which I thought was quite nice. The speakers go very loud. The volume button has two buttons, so its rather annoying if you want to put the music from level 1 to 10 without having to wait 30 seconds. The speakers do have good power to them, and I thought it was excellent sound, especially with the Mega Bass function (although this didn't make MUCH of a difference with it being on).
The player can play MP3 too and has an Operate button on the front to turn on and off. It also has a sleep function which is handy, so you can set it to turn off by itself. The player also has I think 3 pre-sets for the equaliser, which you can't change. Doesn't make a huge difference changing this but might do depending on your music.
Overall, a very very good sturdy well built model from Sony. Impressed so far. Definitely worth a purchase!
*This model seems to have been out since 2006, however Sony have released a new model which is exaclty the same which released in Nov 2007. The new model is £80 at the moment - compared to £65 for this model, and the new model is Blue in colour. There is however NO difference as far as I am aware between the two models apart from the colour, and the shelf life its had.*
Hope that helps!

I purchased this unit as a non hifi CD player that is compact and fits easily on a kitchen shelf. The sound quality is good and can be varied to suit the type of music being played eg classical, light, vocal, pop etc. I have had this player for a month or so and so far all is well. It meets my objective of providing background music in the kitchen and I am spared having to listen to the remarks and conversations of the DJs and presenters on the radio. I strongly recommend this unit.

I have had this product for about a month. It is good to use, I mainly use the remote because of where I have to site the machine. It is quite large and because it is on a shelf the display is hard to read at a angle. It has good strong sound and you can really blast it out if you feel like it. I still like the cassette player but when you record anything from the radio some of the sound quality is lost, mine sounds quite muffled, but it doesn't bother me as it's not used that often. The CD/MP3 works well and everything can be operated from the remote except the cassette - which you would expect anyway. Overall I recommend this product, even though it has a few niggles, it has an operate button not an on/off , and it doesn't have a card slot or ipod connection. Hope this helps someone.

Sony - Good but.......
Works well, sounds good, but the buttons for tape, cd and some radio controls are identified only by small black indentations in two rows of black buttons. Read more

If you like lots of bass, this probably isn't for you.
The sound is lovely and clear, but it's a little bit tinny to my ears as I prefer more bass sound. There is a sound adjustment button, which means you can bring the bass out more... Read more

Very good but not perfect
Very good sound quality and loud enough.
Compact and solid.
I haven't managed to find out how to save the radio stations.
MP3 is not what I though it would be. Read more
