Unit supports independent station presets for both AM & FM

To its credit the unit sounds great in general, and gets fairly loud without distortion

- FM reception for such a costly unit much worse than that of cheaper radios, station for station.- Telescoping antenna is straight-up only; does not rotate in azimuth, or angle from horizontal to vertical.

So much for buying a great name brand unit like Sony

Great unit.

It's a solid unit that'll stand up; to use on the beach.

If you want a decent unit as far as sound, the Sony CFD-G700CP is about a good as you're going to find these days and at the Sony outlet it cost 103.99 which is a bargain

It will probably protect the unit if lighter things fall on it and

Time will tell how durable this unit is and that is the main point for me

If I could combine this unit with one of Sony's sub-woofer equipped boomboxes, this would be the perfect unit

The unit has an excellent balance of sound as well; bass boost does its job without cutting out even near the maximum volume, the middle tones are clear and rich, and treble is crisp without any distortion

Great unit, good looking, sturdy and well made.

The unit supports external audio input from IPOD or other such device through a standard 1/8" plug

Well, I sent this unit back because although it says that it comes with the SonicStage set-up disc for your computer, and it says that it plays ATRAC CDR's, but the fact is, IT DOES NOT play them.

For most people this is a great heavy duty unit with quality sound

Low stars are because I haven't had it long enough to prove that wasn't just one bad unit (so could be upgraded later)

Apart from the above considerations, the unit works as advertised.

great unit

Otherwise, the unit is sturdy and ruggedized, and the controls and ports are weatherized and easy to operate with gloves.

This is a very nice unit, heavy duty construction, but not overly cumbersome or heavy.

It will probably protect the unit if lighter things fall on it and

Too many folks said the unit powered the batteries down over a wknd of non use and the AA batteries died in a week killing the preset stations you create.

Like I said, it is hard to find any other product that completely rivals this unit in it's price range.

Overall I really like this unit and recommended it highly.

This unit could use a GFI and a whip antenna like the Box has

You get sound quality that you'd expect from a pricier unit for a modest amount of money

A defective unit can only be processed through Sony's "Exchange" program, where refurbished boomboxes are swapped out.

This seemed like the perfect unit to have outside

Quality is great, I don 't expect trouble with this one
