A:
Yes. It is possible to listen to any store purchased audio CD or user created CD-R/RW disc that conforms to the Red Book industry standard CD-DA bit-rate format on the Insignia NS-P5113 Portable MP3 CD Player without a pair of stereo headphones. Playback of discs that are outside the scope of this item’s operating instructions or audio discs that do not conform to the CD-DA standard may work but can’t be guaranteed by the manufacturer. An optional pair of speakers is required that plug into the Insignia NS-P5113 Portable CD Player’s dedicated 3.5mm stereo line output jack. Any single or pair of powered, passive, wireless, travel companion, portable battery operated, or computer speakers with a 3.5mm (1/8”) stereo or mono line input jack from the portable audio or computer departments that Best Buy sells online or in-store will work for this type of music sharing application on the Insignia Portable CD Player. Personally, I recommend Sony SRS series portable speakers for best audio performance. The Insignia NS-P5113 FM Tuner Portable CD Player does not feature an integrated speaker for any non-private playback scenario. Most listeners will use this Insignia NS-P5113 Portable MP3 CD Player with a pair of included or aftermarket upgrade stereo headphones connected to this unit’s 3.5mm (1/8”) stereo headphone output jack. Please note that the Insignia NS-P5113 Portable CD Player does not support DualDisc DVD/CD playback, DVD-Audio disc playback, DVD video disc playback, DVD+/-R/RW recordable media, or Blu-ray Disc playback. With that in mind, you can purchase the Insignia NS-P5113 |SKU:9139826 CD Player with digital FM Tuner and MP3 CD Playback from Best Buy for your music and audio book public sharing listening needs. Additionally, I would recommend any of the following Sony, Insignia, Rocketfish, Memorex, or Dynex self-powered stereo speakers for your music sharing interests indoors or outdoors on the Insignia NS-P5113 Portable FM Tuner CD Player.
