Sony D-FJ041 CD Walkman Portable CD Player with AM/FM Tuner

The only thing I did not like was that I had the same exact one before, and I paid less at the store than on Amazon.

I've had this player for a couple of months. Never really enjoyed using it. I have tried using it solely for the past few months. The radio reception is useless compared to the old Sony players. The cd player grinds, groans and stops playing (even with fresh batteries). The small buttons are easy to hit and mess you up. I just put it away and dusted off my old banged up player to use.

I bought this item (Sony D-FJ041 CD Walkman portable CD Player with AM/FM Turner) because my original Sony finally stopped working after 8 years of no problem usaged.

The first two times I used this new Sony player it worked ok the sound was a bit off but adequate. Then the third time I used it would not turn on at all I changed the betteries and put new ones in and nothing happened. It is piece of junk and past the 30 day point of no return.

I don't understand why Amazon is carrying and selling such poor quality mechandise.

I hope Amazon reads this and take it to heart.

I'm not very young and not in turn with MP3 or IPOD players and I have nothing Portable to use to play all my CD's on when I go on walks.

Would not reccomend this cd player to my worst enemy!!!

Dissatisfied consumer.

I purchased this walkman, new. I listen to Audio books. Sony is the only CD walkman that saves your place when turned off. The unit sound is good and never skips when walking or jogging. The problem with it: To listen to the CD, you have to turn up the vol, fine...but all of a sudden I'll be listening to the audio book and the radio comes blasting thru. To get the radio off, you have to hit the radio on button 2xs then the radio off button, then hopefully, when you turn on the CD, it comes up. This sometimes takes 2 - 3 attempts to get the CD back on. When I'm done with the player and set it down, noone near it and it the radio turns on by itself. Turn it off, comes back on. I called Sony they said it needs fixed, a dealer can look at it for $50. I only paid $45. So I'll wait till I get totaly frustrated with it and probably pitch it in the garbage and buy a new one. It will be a Sony, because it saves your place, but without the radio. Fortnately, I do use rechargable batteries.

If there's anything wrong with this player, I can't imagine what it would be: The sound quality is very, very good; I don't think this player would skip if you hit it with a hammer; it handles my CD-R's beautifully; and, unlike another customer, I've found that the battery life is great. Switching from Duracells to the lowest of the three grades of Ever-Ready's, I used the player to burn-in a new pair of earphones. I cranked up the volume, set it to the higher of the two bass-boost settings, and let it run on the repeat mode. Almost a full 24 hours later, it was still going strong. It doesn't get any better.
