I bought this specific cd player because it was the best value. It weighs only 7.3 ounces and is 1 1/16 inches tall. To start off, it's 48-second ESPMAX anti-shock hasn't skipped yet. I turned it upside down and dropped it on the floor, the cd slipped out of it's pivot and the player kept on playing for a few more seconds. I can't believe Sony can make a better anti-shock system (G-Protection). It has great two-level digital MEGA BASS sound. Don't worry, your settings will be remembered every time you turn it on unlike most players around this price. It also has digital volume for precise sound levels. Since it has digital volume, Sony decided to have a hold switch to lock your settings against any any accidental operations. It also has AVLS to limit your maximum volume. You can connect this player to other stereo equipment with a connecting cord though the headphone jack. You can also connect the cd player to a car cassette deck with a car conecting pack and a car battery cord (not included). While almost all cd players have a low battery indicator that pops up when there is only a few seconds left of batteries, this player has a battery indicator that is always on that shows about how many fourths of the batteries are left. The battery life of this player is 25 hours with ESP off or 24 hours with ESP on. My favorite features on this player are its digital volume, one-of-a-kind battery indicator, and hold switch. You will also greatly enjoy them. Now about what the buttons do from left to right. Its headphone jack is on the left side of the cd player, the open button is the half-circle shaped button on the left part of the the player, farther right are the volume down and up buttons with the hold switch below them. Between the volume buttons and the display screen is the sound button. The sound button is for the digital mega bass or for the AVLS is you hold it down for a second. Then when you pass over the display screen you get to the menu button. The menu button is for your 5 different play modes, normal, repeat (all tracks), single track, repeat play (single track), and repeat shuffle play. Note that there isn't track programming on this particular unit. Then farther right you see the stop button (also a pause button for the resume feature). Farther right you get to the button that searches backwards, goes to the beginning of the current track or goes to the beginning of previous tracks if you press it repeatedly. Farther right is the play button which also searches forward through the current track or goes to upcoming tracks if pressed repeatedly. And finally on right side of the cd player is the DC IN 4.5 V input. Thanks for reading.

This Sony portable CD player is by far the best one out on the market. I'd tried others, but nothing compares to this high quality, skip-free portable music machine.

Recommendation: Strong Buy

You will also greatly enjoy them. However there is a downside to this player. When go under certain powerlines in your car, the player replaces the music with a fuzzy noise. You have to turn it off then turn it back on to continue listening to your music. Luckily, the resume feature starts playing where you left off. Now about what the buttons do from left to right.
