Does anyone use this radio with mp3 devices? I am looking for a unit that delivers good radio and also good sound from mp3 connected devices. Thanks

Superior audio reproduction for mp3 devices especially when compared to "dedicated" external speakers in same price range. I have not had much success with getting a strong radio signal so listen to radio online via mp3 device, its a convoluted way to do it but it works for me as the sound quality is so good.

Yes it can be connected mp3 devices and cd device too but not streeo sound. Only. Mono sound

The reason I have kept this radio is that it sounds very good, and the AUX jack allows the use of devices such as MP3 players. I have had no success using this a radio as it tends to drift off station. Other have claimed no problems in this regard, so either the quality of the receiver is hit or miss, or the fact that I live in a major metropolitan area causes harmonics that the tuner cannot filter out. So... Good sound from MP3, yes. Good Radio, no.

No. I have found this model MP3 player very difficult to use and would not recommend it.

Take my advise return the mp3 player and take a refund the item is not good at all. I returned mines because one speaker was playing softer than the other and you should read the one star and two star reviews. ..very bad product.

I've never played MP3 CDs so I can't really answer the question. I use an Ipod (the ultimate CD changer) with my head unit. I've had zero problems with the random feature with this arangement. good luck.

I,ve had mine for a while and is very good with some radios. I have an older Sony table model and it works great with it, not so well with modern cheap radios, AM receivers have gotten very poor in the last many years. I just set it on top of the radio and turn it and the antenna dial via inductive coupling, works pretty well. Has a "mini-phono plug" on antenna if your radio has AM connectors, this is for AM only.

The radio has a 3.5 mm jack that would allow other MP3 players to play through the clock radio. However be mindful this connection is an "output" type only connection and won't charge your MP3 player. Basically all you're doing is plugging your headphones into the radio using a 3.5mm male/male cable.

Sorry I can't help you. I could not actually get the radio to work properly i.e., there was NO volume. Must have been a defective unit. I returned it the day after I received it.

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!

I wonder about this, too. I have a cd player that plays some mp3 discs but not others. I have another player that plays all MP3 discs but that one specified that it did that when I bought it. I think you have to buy one that specifically states it plays all MP3 discs. The one I have that does that is not portable and I need a portable one.

I am looking for a portable radio with the following bands: AM/FM/SW/MWThe priority for me is AM and SW. I was considering the Kaito KA-1102 model. However, it has received mixed reviews with doubts about reliability. Please recommend a better model. My budget is upto $140. Thanks!

This unit has an aux connection which I have used with my laptop. Also there is USB and SD card functionality. If you use either the USB (with a memory stick) or SD slot your music must be in Mp3 format for it to work.

I listen to AM & FM on it with ear phones and the sound is great. And the little speak of its own belts out good sound too. Remember tho, this isn't an i-pod, its an 'old school' am/fm pocket radio that is a big improvement from the ones I used as a kid in the 60's. Perfect for listening to a baseball game which is my main use for it. Enjoy.

No. And, I can't get mine to play ANY mp3 on sd card or usb stick. May be operator error, a fluke or whatever - but now it's my fluke :-(.

Hello!. I've had a -LOT- of experience with the Emerson radio cd player in question and I also bought one for a friend and in my considered opinion it is a "Junk Unit" and I'm rather surprised a reputable firm like AMAZON even sells it as mine ran fairly well for a month and my friends didn't run at all tho she told me she could listen to the radio for a bit but the disks didn't play at all, So in truth the best way I can answer this question is to tell you to just throw it out and buy a -Good Unit- from a different firm for as far as I am concerned it is a junk unit period!..... Hope This Helps You!,.

I do not use the FM radio. I use the jack and plug it into the cars sound system. In my previous car I used the cassette player to interconnect with the radio. My brother also has one and did not recommend using the FM. The sound is not as good and like you, he had to keep fishing for stations.
