User questions & answers

Question:	Could i connect Sirius XM onyx to this
Answer:	I have no idea but i really dont think so
Question:	holds how many cds
Answer:	One at a time! 3 months ago I bought three of these. All three are now acting up! One randomly skips/crackles randomly. One requires a VERY heavy finger to depress any and all buttons - but does still work (after only 4-6 total hrs. of use) and the 3rd one won't play certain CD's at all. Burned or factory cut CD's make no difference it plays both - most but not all the time. Had I not chucked all three shipping boxes & foam, I'd return them all!
Question:	how many CD's can it play
Answer:	In my case it played two CDs. One at noon and another at 2pm, then the motor died.
Question:	Does the unit have any additional speaker jacks and anywhere to connect an external AM antenna
Answer:	No to both questions. A warning if you have'nt purchased this player. The cd player is crap--it stops playing intermittently with evey cd I try to play. A lesson to be learned here is that with cheap prices come cheap electronics.I would not recommend this product. Even the connections for the speaker wires when inserted into the radio/cd unit don't fit tight and have to be played with to get a solid connection. The am band in my area --Long Island N.Y. is bad and you can't turn the unit around in the hopes of getting a stronger signal because of the wires for the speakers and the placement of the unit if you do get a good signal---the tuning buttons and tuner knob may not be facing you it may be facing away from you. This is my experience with this purchase. Spend more money to hopefully to get a better product.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this play mp3 cd's
Answer:	Yes and it don't sound bad at all I was happy with it so much
Question:	Is this compatible with bluetooth headphones? i see one answer of “yes”, but i also see one saying this bluetooth does not transmit. which is it
Answer:	no
Question:	Anyone can tell me if comes with remote
Answer:	It does & it works well.
Question:	How long are the speaker wires
Answer:	A bout 12""
Question:	Lithium battery compartment wont pull out enough to fit round battery in .any suggestions
Answer:	Not sure what you mean here. The screw that holds down the cover must be totally unscrewed and the cover removed to access the battery. then the battery is easily accessible. To start the screw back in, you need to insert the tip into its hole and jiggle/force the back into place then tighten the screw. Otherwise you will not get it started. The screw needs to be at least 1/8th inch shorter than it is.
Question:	Is it possible to turn the alarm off? i see that you can program it for mon-friday, sat-sun or sun-saturday but i don't see where you can turn it off
Answer:	I'm having the same problem with my alarm clock. The instructions are terrible and it is nearly impossible to program the clock, because the readout during programming is impossible to make sense of.
Question:	Does this have AM radio as well
Answer:	No only fm radio
Question:	Can i play music from my android phone via bluetooth worh this product
Answer:	Yes you can .
