It would need care and it wouldn't be water proof, but yes it's beach worthy! And even if you don't really understand Bluetooth, it has an aux in spot AND the chord for it so you can use anything with a headphone jack ;)

This doesnt have a cd player but it does have an aux input (cable included) that you can plug and ipod or anything into without having to use bluetooth. And yes this will survive more than a beach, seems very durable

I am fuming also! Where is the Blue Ray or HD DVD player that won't obsolete my collection high definition audio disks? I want something that includes DVD-Audio, SACD, and HDCD.

My player quit playing . Would not start playing CD;s or would skip tracks. (It is 6 months old) I took it in to authorized TEAC dealer who told me it would be $151.00 to fix unless I could show proof of purchase receipt. I purchased it in May 2015, however when we checked the plate on the back of the unit, it showed it was manufactured in 2013 !!!!!!!!!!! Been sitting on a shelf for two years ???? . Now I have to find a proof of purchase to cover warranty or pay for repair out of pocket. Looks like it is cheaper to buy new one !I have a model RW-890 player/recorder and NEVER have a problem with it ! My player quit playing . Would not start playing CD;s or would skip tracks.

I also have an older Sony 6 disc player.(a little newer than yours) Mine also failed and the speakers crapped out. This new player is, in my opinion, much better and a great replacement

This unit has very good sound quality. I use it to play CDs in our Ballroom that is approximately 60' x 80' and the music fills the room. The only negative thing is I was told the unit will SHUFFLE all the CDs, however, it will only SHUFFLE one CD at a time. After discussing this with the Sharp Co. they agreed the information on their literature should be changed and be more exact. I do live in a retirement community, so this unit was bought for our dancing and listening enjoyment. Hope this helps.

Beth: If you looked at my review, you would never even think about this one. The button on the far left side when looking at the picture operates the opening mechanism. However, you should look at one that has anti skip for just a few dollars more. This would work as a boat anchor better than a CD player. Try this one: Coby CXCD329 Slim Personal CD Player with Anti-Skip Protection (Blue) Just remember that they all have problems when the batteries get low. But the one you are looking at is just trouble. Give it to someone visually impared and it is a disaster.Splice Beth: If you looked at my review, you would never even think about this one.

It is a good sound quality and I am satisfied so far. I like good clear crisp sound too. It has that but maybe not the rich deep base that you can get from a large box simply because of the size. But not bad, pound for pound it rocks! For a party? I might use my home system. But I got this speaker for the road to use on the beach, on the dock, and by the pool. It works perfect for that! Hope this helps! I am a satisfied user and use it often for convenient sound when I need it. I'm not sure about the water proof part, I have not got it really wet yet. I still avoid water the best I can with it.

And in addition to Paulos comment If you are thinking about buying another player then look somewhere else as even though this will up convert standard dvd to near hd, the hd dvd's are not produced any more and only a handful of titles are available in places like ebay. It is better than a standard dvd player but with so much blue ray readily available I would go with a blue ray player that will also play your standard dvd library.

Battery Life is pretty good on my unit. Played 3 hours continuously at the beach without charging.Sound is good and decently loud indoors but outdoors not so much. It is definitely not a "Bose" unit but under an umbrella at the beach it served our needs. Hope this helps.

I'm sorry, I don't know. We had it playing at the beach for about 5 1/2 hours and it still worked great.

I mostly use HDTracks, but there are ay least a couple of others, including a new one called something like ProStudios that I have yet to try. I stick to 96/24 and on this player they sound great! Yes, they are more expensive, but I usually wait for a sale, 10 - 15% off, and the usual price for popular music is around 18 bucks, before discount. If you want to burn these to disc, you have to use a program, at least as far as I know, that burns them to DVD. I think that program is called Cirlinca HD - Audio Ultra. Have fun!

Yes you can. If you have a USB port it will work. I love mine and expect to buy another one in the future hope this helps. My neighbors heard playing it in my back yard and they want one now.

sound is very good,however the price and the inherent issue with cd player that BOSE refuses to address make it a no brainer.You can find similar sound for a much lower price.I own one and it is a $500 radio because cd player refuses to work.I know several people with the same issue.Getting back to your ? sound is VG to EX

I don't recall having seen any. Please spare yourself the trouble And buy a proper one. There are better and more reliable players out there for only $200+ more.

Do you know if this unit plays cd, cd-r. cd-rw? I have made most of my cd's and need a player that will play all them. Also, do I need to buy anything else other than this CS-325 to play my cd's? Thanks for your help.
