Can I use radio just plugged into electrical outlet, bypassing battery? Also, can I plug my CD player into an auxiliary jack and use radio's speaker?

I don't know if you're bypassing the battery or not when you play it plugged in. Not sure what you're really asking. I have mine plugged in 95% of the time and listen to it that way. And yes, there is an aux in jack.

I don't know any easy way of bypassing the battery unless you take it out. Sure, you can plug the radio into an electrical outlet, but it will also be charging the battery at the same time as it is powering the radio. You can plug your CD player and use the radio as just a speaker.

Yes, it will run on no battery at all. Yes, it has a 3.5 mm stereo mini-plug input. But why not rip those CD's to a computer and enjoy the real benefit of this type of device: access your entire music collection over WiFi anywhere in/around your home

We have a receiver that has problems and needs to be replaced. I wondered if this radio can take the place of the receiver? I mean can we hook our CD player into the radio and then have the sound come out of our existing speakers.

NO its just a Radio w/ CD Player. You wan a USB port buy a computer or junk smart 'ass' phone.

Yeah! So I've plugged mine in for a power source, but it takes batteries.However, it doesn't have a speaker/amp so you'd need to orchestrate a way to do that

On the side of the radio there is a jack for the electrical cord. It does not come with a power cord. I use the batteries since it's a portable radio and the batteries do last a long time. If you want to use a power cord you can get one from amazon.com or ebay and you can probably find something inexpensive there. If you plan to use the radio a lot than it's worth investing for the power cord. If you plan to use it infrequent then the batteries is all you need. Hopefully this will help.

you can use a cd player, i use my Ipod if i want music. but you do not need one to make it work. There is two wires that come out and then three if you use a device for music. At first i got tangled a little.I am used to the wires now. In the instructions they say you can program different exp. Have not tired that yet but I am going too. Hope this helps you.

You plug it in. Seriously horrible CD player though and radio gets almost no reception.

I never tried to do that. It charges from a USB port, which means I am near my computer and other sound sources. I was not impressed with the radio overall.

Depending on the hookup, either use the RCA jacks or direct wire. Make sure the switch on the back on the radio is set to external speakers.

It depends on your radio. If you have an outlet on it marked AUX, then you can! You will also need a double-ended audio cord. I can not remember if the MP3 comes with one or not. Then you plug both ends into the AUX and the MP3's headphone outlet. Then there you go!

The Car stereo has to have a totally separate cd/cassette player, that's were the aux. jack gets it power from Not a radio with built in cd and/or cassette...I know.. I wanted to be able to plug a mp3 player to it, though I found someone on ebay that converts the factory radio and Im very pleased..

I get that the receivers plug into an outlet but can you use them with batteries as well if you like? I would like to put one of the receivers in my music studio higher up on a wall where there is no outlet so I can see the LED light when I am playing music loud enough that I can't hear the bell.

Nope, not at all! It just plugs right in the back of the factory head-unit, and you press the "media" button to switch to this auxiliary input! Works instantly, and CD's still play fine :-)

Yes, if it's an external CD player that you plug into the "aux" input of the radio. For instance, you can plug in an external MP3 player.

There is no cd player on this radio. However there is an auxiliary input (cable not included) that a cd player could be attached with. Hope this helps!
