The player souded good and works fine, but trying to find the AY 3170 4.5V DC adapter has prooved to be very difficult, and it seems to eat up batteries pretty quick when I use it at work.

I Owned the blue version of this CD player for about a year and loved it. I ended up giving it to a friend and it still works wonderfully. I bought this one as a replacement, it [is't good]. The original headphones hurt and the player was cheaply built. Mine is all scratched up on top and the lid is loose. That is of course expected eventually. The main problem I have with it is that it just randomly shuts off during playback. I tried to tape the open lid button because I thought that I was opening the lid in my pocket but that wasn't it. The lid does sometime open when you don't want it to. I still can�t figure out why it won't play but I am not happy with it. The skip protection doesn't work at all on mine either. The remote is pretty cool though. And the hold function is very nice when it�s in your pocket.
