Strengths:
Price, bright display, nice big volume control, 3V pre outs, sub out, great sound.

Face is a little hard to press on, but not too bad, once on its very secure, unlike Pioneer. Has a little trouble with cheap cdr-s.

This is probrably the most feature packed budget cd player out there. Where else can you get 3 sets of 3V pre outs-including a sub out, CD labeling, Radio station Labeling, rotary volume control, 4 level Bass bosst at 72hz, wireless remote etc, etc, for $124?
