Sharp 230-Watt 5-CD Mini Music System, CD-MPX850

This is an excellent value. It was easy to set up for the first time and use. While it is described as a mini system, it does take up quite a bit of space. I would not describe it as a shelf-system, unless you have very large shelves -- it will not fit into a bookcase. It has a neat remote control, accepts 5 dvds and has a raduio and cassette player -- I still have a considerable collection of cassettes, so this is an attractive plus.

I was happy to find this CD-Cassette player because they are difficult to find with the cassette player. The shipping was a bit expensive but it came in a timely manner. Great Buy

I'm very happy with this stereo. It has all the features I wanted and sounds great.

If you want a decent radio and cd stereo system for your teenager (with tape decks thrown in), for not a lot of money, this is a good bet.

Skip the store brands, and go up a notch, and you'll get a model like this one, sure to last, maybe even through the college years, and into the first apartment and real job.

For us, this item seemed a money-saver, and a real find, all in one.
