Can I hook it up to external speakers? Does it have a resume function for audiobook cd's where it picks up precisely where the listener left off?

It has a headphone/line out for audio output, so you can plug in a headphone to RCA red/white cable for external speakers or just plug in computer speakers. Everytime you power it off, the CD starts from the first track, so it doesn't have that feature. This is just a normal CD player, just with Bose branding. It has excellent sound quality output and is better at reading scratched discs than other CD players though. Bose used to sell it for $50 about 5 years ago.

According to the manual, you should be able to hook up any "external audio sources". However you will need a 3.5 mm audio cable, which is not included.

Yes, because of the USB capabilities, I believe this model has a pre-amp already installed in it. Some receivers have a pre-amp installed, if there is a "phono" input. Mine does not and I use the "CD" input. I haven't tried it, but I would assume you could connect the turntable directly to speakers and it would be fine.

If you connect your CD player to an input other than the one you use for your TV (probably the analog connection?) and you make sure that the TV is off, the speaker will broadcast the audio from your CD player.

I'm an audiobook listener, and it will remember you previous track position, assuming you don't skip tracks or add/remove any files. If you do, then it loses the position.

You are correct in that this is not a stand alone component. It would have to hook into some sort of system that has speakers. For instance, I have a Bose Wave unit, and these hooked right into it. Your cost for a sound system depends on the quality you want. If you have separate units (your speakers are separate from your amplifier), then this unit would have to go through your amplifier. Other than that, I don't know what to tell you, as I am only marginally tech smart! I can tell you that this Sony unit is excellent for playing and for copying CDs. However, I find it easier to make CDs through my computer these days!

Yes, it has an external speaker jack. You can hook up to computer speakers, ear buds and even your TV. We have a cabin and use this to HDMI and audio cable to our TV. Great for watching movies on vacation too.

yes, if your computer has a sound card (which means it has a headphone/speaker jack). If your computer was made in the last 10 years it is very likely going to have a way to connect external speakers. only very early computers didn't automatically allow for a speaker jack.

I don't know but it looks like you can hook up external speakers in the back .... the stereo ones on the set , however, are pretty good.

You need headphones. And, unfortunately, this CD player does not have the "Resume" feature.

yes, it will resume from where you stop it, only problem I have with it is the audio (sound) goes out from time to time

I just use this to listen to audio books in my kitchen. I like it a lot, it is the best CD played I own. An audio CD may skip on one of my other players but not this one. I have not used it on battery although I have them in it for back up purposes. I haven't tried a USB product on it. I could give it a shot and let you know if you'd like as well as the repeat, if there is one?

No Joy, you don't HAVE to buy speakers for this.. but if you want to listen to the audio output you'll either need headphones or speakers + speaker cable + an amplifier.If you only want to 'rip' CDs to USB devices, you don't need either but you won't hear anything.

I believe you can hook it to the cd/radio if you have aux. in jacks or you can always play it thru the radio by tuning it to the proper station.

Yes, you are able to listen to CD's or audio files on a memory stick with or without earphones or headphones. Also, you can hook it up to speakers to further amplify the volume.
