The CD player offers the flexibility of shuffle/repeat and also can be programmed (up to 32 tracks) to play in a specific order.

Preassigned equalization settings of bass, treble, and midrange let you tailor the sound according to personal preference (choose from classic, jazz, rock, and pop). The stereo uses dual 4-inch bass-reflex (ported) speakers, with Dynamic Bass Boost to heighten the low-frequency presence for more powerful sound.

1 out of 5 stars Broken down after very little use, possibly 20 hours play time........2005-12-26

Very disappointed in this unit. It still works as a radio, but the disc drive no longer works after only a total of maybe 20 hours of playing, but long after any warranty, expressed or implied, had expired. It seemed ok when it worked, but as just a radio, which is all that it now is, it is just junk. Consider other makes!

5 out of 5 stars Good for Old Time Radio mp3's..........2004-03-04

As a collector of Old time Radio shows in mp3 format, I am always looking for new products that will accomodate the 32kbps mono format that has become the standard for OTR. At that bitrate, we can fit 100+ 30 minute programs on a single CD. I am happy to report that this unit (RCD128) will indeed read and play 32kbps files with no problem. The acceptable range listed in the manual is 32-320 kbps. SOUND QUALITY is quite good for OTR considering the original recordings are not always that great to begin with. Voice reproduction is accurate and well-defined. Music lovers may find the bass thin, but this is a plus for OTR, allowing the actors dialog to come through clearly. For under $50, this is a good economical choice for OTR fans.

4 out of 5 stars OTR fans need this.......2003-07-17

A more than reasonable price for one of the very few of its kind. Old time radio programs are great on mp3 and have rendered my cassette collection to the back shelf.mp3's are so much cheaper and so easy to store. It has a great remote and presets. The most significant downside is poor AM reception.

4 out of 5 stars RCA-128 Good Buy for the Bucks!.......2003-05-29

Being a collector of Old Time Radio in the CDR-MP3 format, I wanted a player that I could use at home or with a small group of people. The RCA-128 fits the bill with pretty good sound reproduction in an economical unit that works well at home or with a group such as at a nursing home. So far, it plays all the bit-rates that I've thrown at it and often makes the sound "appear" better than on the computer's playback from the same CDR. Some I record on my own and others I have purchased or traded for and there's no real standard bit-rate established for this stuff. This "new" technology in the RCA-128 makes the "old" technology sound real good and it cost much less than a hundred bucks! A real good buy for my perposes!

2 out of 5 stars Could Have Been a Contender.......2003-05-15

Sadly I am returning the second of these for the same defect. I was pleased with the capabilities of the unit. I can't however, overlook it's one shortcoming. Both units I tried produced an audible "thump" between tracks. This occurred with MP3 discs, and regular CD's, purchased or "burned". When hooked to an amplifier this was especially annoying. Audio playback units are not supposed to introduce audible signals of their own.
