From Digital Living Today
Sometimes a product hits the market that isn't really an innovation, but it's so necessary, so obvious, that it makes you wonder why it took so long for it to come along. Casio's AJ-1 Flat-Panel CD Player is nothing more than a travel digital alarm clock. The trick here is that it's ultra-thin and it plays CDs. Just big enough to hold your favorite disc while you're on the road, and to play your favorite track when it's time to rise and shine, the AJ-1 combines a travel alarm with a CD player in a unit so nice to look at, it will make anyone using it feel like a member of the jet-set. A perfect gift and a fine treat for oneself as well, the AJ-1 is remarkable not for its innovation, but for its usefulness.

4 out of 5 stars It's all good in Chicago.......2004-10-27

I own this little beauty and everyone one in my office either ask is it a scale or ask if they can have it. My response to both questions is always no. This unit is great I love the ability to place it almost any where although the stand needs a little help, The sound is great I also wished it was a multiple player but I'll keep what I have. Buy and you'll like it

4 out of 5 stars Outstanding. Until it falls over with a thud........2002-06-15

It's no Wave, but it's not bad except for the flimsy stand that keeps the player from falling over. It barely does that. And there's the odd need to expose the entire CD player to insert a disc. But the player sounds pretty good, reception is OK and if you hang it securely on a wall until it's time to throw it in a suitcase you'll be fine.

3 out of 5 stars Cute concept. Sounds like it looks.......2002-05-03

I wanted a small CD player for the kitchen. It does not fill the room at all, however, I like the size, and it can be discreetly tucked anywhere. Everyone asks, what's with the scale? when they first see this. THe sound is a bit too tinny, needs a better bass boost. I'm also a music buff, so this is merely suitable for the news, listening to favorite CD tracks, and keeping me company in the kitchen when I'm washing dishes.

3 out of 5 stars Sometimes great.......2002-04-15

I generally like this product, but I have had a few glitches with it. A few times the cd wouldn't start. Other times I can hear the cd rotate over the music. I just hope this electronic item will stand the test of time, unlike so many other products I've purchased and used with care.

4 out of 5 stars Very Nice.......2002-04-11

Hey, my name is Sam, and I'm a 14 year old kid who lives in New York. I agree with the person who said that the past reviews seem written by all the same people, but I'm not complaining. I enjoy this product, but there are a few downsides. 1, an unneccesarily fold out slot for the cd. Instead of a space the size of a cd opening up, the whole damn player opens up. Very annoying, but it doesn't detract at all in the big run. Okay reception, I'm not complaining but I'm not jumping for joy. Great sound, great backlight function, nice, bright and orange. Slim, can fit mostly anywhere. Hmm... wall mounting was pretty easy, so don't let that stop you. Looks nice, blue and fuzzy looking. Buttons are not placed conveniently, but it is no struggle. A handy little remote is one of the biggest plusses, a feature I cannot go without. 30 radio presets, 15 am/15 pm. Only complaint here is that instead of pressing 1 and going back to your 1 station, you have to cycle through 2-15 just to get back to that one station. Quite the hassle. I'd just like to note, I'm a very critical person, so everything I say is a quarter as bad as I say it is. I'm everybodies worst critic for some reason. Nifty little gadget. I recommend it, and it has a digital tuner to boot. For the most part, this thing has convenience all over it. Great alarm clock timer features by the way.

Peace

Sam
