Crosley Rochester Entertainment Center - Paprika (CR66-PA)

I purchased this unit as a Christmas present. It sounded great at first...The phonograph died after one week. I purchased it early, so the return period and warranty have already expired. Not recommended.

My mother owns this. It's a piece of crap. The only way you can hear anything is if you have everything set to max volume. And even then it's not even very loud. Waste of money. Made of super cheap plastic. It only looks like metal. Don't waste your money.

I received this for Christmas as I had been asking for a turntable for quite a while. I couldn't be any happier. Now I can play all my records, cds, cassettes, in one along with listening to the radio. The sound quality is good to me, but I don't go around blasting the music since I just listen to it in my room so I have no idea how well it does on high volume settings. When I have played records I have noticed absolutely no speedups or slowdowns as others have mentioned. Maybe I just got lucky with mine? The cd player works great and opens up fast. Absolutely no problems with that. The only slightly odd thing is that when you put in a cassette it automatically starts and there is no stop button. Doesn't bother me all too much, so it doesn't lose a star for it. It might bother others though. To fast forward the cassette tapes you simply push in the eject button half way and then push it again and the button with pop back out all the way with the cassette still in. No rewind function though. Most cassette players in general don't even have that either though. The line in is another nice feature. I can plug in my mp3 in to the back when I want to listen to a song I don't have on vinyl, cassette, or cd. Overall the only problem I can really see about this is that the the part where the tone arm lays on and where you switch the record speed is made of really flimsy plastic. It's not a big problem if you aren't going to be rough with it, but it is still a bit worrying. The last thing I can say about this is that is looks simply awesome.

I really love this product. I just got it yesterday and have been able to listen to records, tapes, cd's AND my iPod. Coudn't be happier!

I purchased this Crosley 4-1 unit thinking this would be great to have all units in one. I have old LPs and cassettes and CD's. I did not want to try to replace all my old music. I purchased this for Christmas 2006 and I had a little trouble with the dials and the CD player ejecting but it seemed to get better. Then when I don't use it for awhile it just seems to get worst. Now I've been trying to play my CD's and Cassettes and can't get it to work at all. You can't tell for sure sometimes if it's on because the lights don't always work either. Now I've had it for two years and I don't believe I have my receipt any longer so I'm sure they won't take it back. But I wanted to forwarn anyone thinking of getting it or anyone that has already purchased it to beware I'm sure it will not last long. I have had trouble from the start and now it's just a piece of junk.
