Did they forget to put the working parts in?
(1 out of 5) by ThreePeas on Mar 25, 2008 (Orange County, CA)This item is the worst of the worst.
At roughly $29.00 I didn't expect much, just something that would play cd's and the radio, I didn't even expect it to have good reception, just halfway decent would have been great. What I received was a cute looking portable player but I can't with all honestly call is a "CD-R/RW Player with AM/FM Stero Radio". Yes, it did have a button for AM and one for FM and it seemed to have a place to put a CD and yes, it did have an antenna and I did see a volume control button. But, the "item" does not play music, does not turn on, does not have ANY sound coming out of it whatsoever. Item arrived brand new in a factory sealed box packed very carefully by Amazon as usual - what they forgot to put in this unit was all the working parts. Those Emerson guys can be real tricky.

Picks up a lot of static!
(2 out of 5) by Jim S on Dec 11, 2007 (Huntsville, AL)Getting a lot of static interference if I leave it on the CD setting for too long. The problem can be solved by grounding the metal connectors on the volume dial (need to open it up). This shouldn't happen with a company like Emerson. Piece of Chinese junk!
poorly made - did not last long
(3 out of 5) by Nancy on Nov 7, 2009I was initially very happy with this cd player for my teen daughter to play her cd's wherever she wanted in the apartment. However, it did not last long. It was treated well, but the cd player broke within a year, and other buttons stopped working as well. It was not heavily used either (she has an ipod). It was cheaply made. This is disgusting. I hate the thought of tossing it in the landfill.
Money worth spent
(4 out of 5) by Chida on Oct 16, 2009 (TX)This is a good product, I really enjoy listening radio/playing cd while sleeping rather than watch TV.
