Reviews:| Rating 4.0/5 from 23 reviews | | Excellent Boombox! ! ! | | Rating: 5/5 2006-03-11 | | I originally bought the CFD-S350. Immediately I noticed that the Mega Bass did not put out any bass at all. Within one week I returned the CFD-S350 and bought the CFD-G500. It cost me $40 more, but it was well worth it. If you desire a lot of bass, then don't waste your money on the CFD-S350. The CFD-G500 is a super deal at $99. I am very satisfied with the CFD-G500. | | I think it's great! | | Rating: 5/5 (2 out of 2 think this is helpful) 2006-02-11 | | I definately think this is the best Sony boombox you will find. The sound is great, it's much more like a stereo system, than the others, by Sony. Although kind of bulky, it has an attractive design, but most importantly, it sounds great! This is definately the Sony boombox to get! | | Good but noisy! | | Rating: 2/5 (5 out of 7 think this is helpful) 2006-02-02 | | It's a very good boombox for a small party or work place, but if you use it with headphone or put it at your nightstand, you will hear noise that I personally can't accept. I bought it twice but had to return it after I heard the noise. You don't have to believe me but try it with your headphone when you go buy it in the store. I compared it with many other boomboxes or mini-systems and didn't hear the noise. | | This Baby Is Solid, Excellent Bose Sound, WELL WORTH IT!! | | Rating: 5/5 (3 out of 3 think this is helpful) 2006-01-18 | | I had a Sony Boombox back in 1986- and this year it finally crapped down on me. I would put in brand new CD's and it would act up, and tell me there was no CD there. And it started to skip on tracks. So I said, to hell with it, I'm getting a new boombox. And I was SO surprised when I saw this baby. It's a SOLID, WELL MADE Sony product. You are getting more for your money than you'll realize, until you pop in a CD and it feels like being in a club- the bass is pounding, and it comes with a remote control - so if I'm here typing away, and I want to listen to my CD again, it starts right back on. I HIGHLY reccomend the Sony CFD-G500 CD RADIO CASSETTE RECORDER BOOMBOX. GET ONE BEFORE EVERYONE ELSE LEARNS HOW EXCELLENT THEY ARE! | | Bulky boombox but great sound | | Rating: 4/5 (1 out of 1 think this is helpful) 2006-01-16 | | Despite it's bulky, clunky look this boombox delivers surprisingly crisp sound clarity and 'boomy' depth. I chose it because it featured an audio input(hard to find on moderately priced boomboxes), which I use for satellite radio and it has the wattage to deliver the goods. |

Amazon.com Product Description Sony's CFD-G500 CD/radio cassette recorder offers a compact chassis, several sound-enhancement options, and remote-control convenience--not to mention an aggressive, black-and-red power-drive design. Stereo 4-inch speakers are augmented by a third, 4-inch Power Drive Woofer, all driven by a powerful 20 watts RMS total. The unit's CD player uses a one-bit digital-to-analog audio converter with 8x oversampling for pristine sound, and audio CD-R/CD-RW compatibility means the boombox will play your home-brewed music mixes as well as prerecorded CDs. The CFD-G500's digital AM/FM stereo tuner offers 30 station presets (20 FM, 10 AM). Four electronic sound modes (rock/pop/jazz/vocal) let you tailor the sound for listening to various different types of music or in different environments, while the unit's unique Power Drive settings (off, 1, and 2) enhance low-frequencies in any sound mode. A cool red light atop the device indicates PDW-on status. A remote control with 10-key direct-access buttons works for CD tracks and radio presets, while various CD play modes (program/shuffle/repeat) let you hear tracks in multiple ways: in sequence (as recorded), in program order (up to 20 tracks), all tracks in random (shuffle) order, or as a single track repeating over and over. With synchronized CD/cassette dubbing, CD playback commences just after cassette recording begins. The stereo record/playback cassette deck provides direct recording from either the tuner, the CD player. Meanwhile, an analog minijack (.125-inch) stereo line input lets you hookup anything from your laptop to an MP3 player or a portable DVD player. The unit runs on the supplied AC power cord or six D batteries. The remote uses 2 AA batteries (no batteries are included). What's in the Box Boombox, remote control, a user's manual, AC power cord.
