What's great about it: Excellent CD Playback, Solid Build Quality, FM/AM Tuner
What's not so great: N/A
Splendid audio reproduction, digital Mega Bass sound system, excellent build quality, full circle design, attractive white/gray exterior appearance, lightweight design, shuffle, repeat, resume, and bookmark program play modes. Just another excellent product from Sony. The Sony Walkman CD Player D-FJ041 is undeniably an extraordinary portable CD player. This unit offers excellent sound reproduction, performance, features, and value for your money. This Sony Walkman CD player offers an extensive portable radio and CD player feature set. Those high quality portable audio features include: a 1-bit D/A converter for outstanding Sony sound, 3.5mm stereo headphone jack, skip-free electronic shock protection, digital volume control, digital 0-10 volume control scale, multi-function LCD display, battery life indicator, automatic shut-off, hold function to prevent accidental operation, digital FM/AM Tuner, 30 FM/AM station presets (20 FM station presets, 10 AM station presets), auto station scan tuning, manual preset station input, preset station cancellation option, Tuning +/- controls, FM local sensitivity reception control for clear reception of FM stations that are interfered with by strong radio waves, FM monaural reception for improved reception of stations that are received with excessive static or noise, FM frequency range: 87.5-108 MHz, AM frequency range: 530-1710 kHz, FM headphone cord antenna, built-in AM ferrite bar antenna, adjustable AM tuning interval from 10 kHz to 9 kHz for reception of AM or medium wave stations when traveling abroad, radio on button, radio off/tuner band selector controls, battery compartment, battery compartment cover, DC battery terminals, 3V DC battery power rating, 4.5 Volt DC input jack for connection to an optional AC power adapter, 5 mW + 5mW total system output power, Sony MDR-J0Z1 clip-style stereo headphones, two position digital Mega Bass function (Sound 1, Sound 2), Sound/AVLS control, CD-R/RW playback, CD compartment lid slide open switch, CD pivot placement holder, play, pause, stop, forward skip, and reverse skip CD transport controls, play mode control, 8 CD playback modes including: normal play mode, single track play mode, shuffle play mode, bookmark play mode, and repeat playback mode for all CD play modes, bookmark removal option, automatic music search sensor, and it comes with operating instructions. This unit's LCD displays the following system information: total track number, total CD play time, current track number, elapsed CD track play time, play mode selection, bookmark indicator, battery life indicator, radio function, FM/AM band indicator, FM/AM station frequency, FM mono indicator, FM local indicator, FM preset indicator, FM/AM station preset number, and Mega Bass sound mode selection. The Sony Walkman CD Player D-FJ041 also utilizes an Automatic Volume Limiter System (AVLS# volume distortion reduction system. The AVLS function prevents the portable player from becoming excessively loud during CD playback for an extended time period, and it maintains consistently clear CD sound quality. The AVLS volume reduction system can be enabled or disabled by the user at any time by pressing and holding the Sound/AVLS button, if desired. All of my CD's sound wonderful on this portable, with clear vocals, and well-defined bass performance. I am able to enjoy all of my favorite music, sports, and talk radio stations from the FM/AM digital tuner. Radio reception is always impressive on this unit. I have not been able to make this portable CD player skip during playback under any circumstances with the shock protection enabled or disabled. This Sony Walkman CD player D-FJ041 is a great audio companion for the morning run, long walks on the boardwalk, trips to the seashore, at home private listening sessions, or when you're sitting poolside taking a sip from that refreshing cool glass of fruit punch. Please remember that in order to achieve audiophile quality sound reproduction from this unit, you should disable the electronic shock protection system during non-active use. The supplied ear-clip headphones offer mediocre sound quality at best. However, the audio playback of this unit can be improved upon in my experience with an upgrade to the Sony Studio Monitor Series MDR-V600 stereo headphones. The Sony Studio Monitor headphones produce generous amounts of detailed dynamic bass when combined with the playback accuracy of the Sony Walkman CD Player D-FJ041. The Sony Walkman is powered by two AA batteries or it can be powered with an optional AC power adapter #Sony model: AC-E45A). The Sony Walkman CD Player offers excellent battery life with use of high-performance Duracell Ultra or Energizer Max alkaline batteries. Please note that the Sony Walkman CD player D-FJ041 does not offer MP3 CD playback, dual disc playback, or a wired remote controller. The product dimensions are as follows: Width: 5-5/8", Height: 1-1/8", Depth: 5-5/8", and Weight: 7.1 ounces. This unit includes a 90-day parts and labor limited manufacturer warranty. The Sony Walkman CD Player D-FJ041 is an exemplary choice for portable CD media playback, as a work, travel, or leisure entertainment option, and it offers outstanding FM/AM radio reception. Good Luck. Enjoy.
