Amazon.com Review

The Citizen CD-140 Portable CD Player with AM/FM Radio is stylish and offers a substantial set of features for the price. With user-friendly functions and a wallet-friendly price, we found much to praise and little to complain about.

Features
For a device that plays CDs and allows for radio listening, the CD-140's controls were surprisingly simple. The large, clear CD/radio display makes it easy to view track or station information at a glance.

Citizen has equipped the CD-140 with a single-click button to activate the Electronic Shock Protection (ESP) feature. With ESP enabled, the CD-140 has a 15-second, semiconductor memory that creates a no-skip data buffer. When the unit is subjected to a shock or jar during play, the CD-140 continues without interruption. The CD-140 also receives remarkably clear AM/FM radio reception and has memory presets that can store up to five AM and five FM stations.

Sound Quality
The power and sound quality of the CD-140 was impressive. Included with the unit is a pair of stock headphones that delivered clear sound, even when the volume was turned up to over two-thirds strength. Above this power, the sound quality was slightly distorted. However, with a headphone upgrade, the CD-140 could take your portable listening experience to an even higher level.

Battery Life and Connectivity
After a full day of testing the CD-140 on two AA batteries (not included), we noticed no change in the battery strength. The CD-140 also has the capacity to recharge nickel-cadmium batteries. With a 'Line Out' that can connect the unit to a CD burner, amplifier, or other compatible component, the CD-140 could enhance your home system unit with minimal investment.

Pros

Compact, simple and user-friendly design
Crisp and clear sound
Plays CDs and AM/FM radio
Long battery life and alternate AC power functionality

Cons

No rechargeable batteries included

Real audiophile sound from a portable.......2005-11-20

Sure, MP3/WMAs are hot these days, and can produce more than satisfactory sound. But a great CD player connected to a hifi can still top them. So what to do for portable music?
The Citizen CD-140 comes the closest to true audiophile sound I have found in a portable. It has a stronger amp than any other portable, too, so you do not need to turn it up to full volume, and shouldn't. But this means you will get the dynamic range from loud transients in the music, and sound without distortion at normal volumes. It also means it can pour out an unusual amount of bass, and can go quite deep.
It also has a line out that bypasses the volume control. Hook it up to a hifi and you will get sound that will beat many DVD players from the analog out for CDs. Frankly, the sound is suprisingly similar to my high end Sony CD players, leading me to wonder if they put the old Sony DAC in this portable.
There is also a surprisingly sensitive, clear AM/FM tuner. And there is a trickle charger circuit for NiMH batteries, but no auto shut off. And the tuner presets lose memory when the batteries run out. Also, there is no hold button. But the buttons are fairly stiff, and I have not had a problem with it turning on or off in my backpack. Oddly, the radio on off switch is on the bottom.
So what's the catch? It is the ESP anti skip circuit. Like many CD players, it adds distortion because of compression. On many players you don't notice it cause the sound is so mediocre to begin with, but on the CD-140 the sound is so clear that the distortion is also clear. On many recordings you might not notice it, but on a trumpet solo it becomes obvious.
The solution is to turn off the ESP, or ASP on the Citizen CD-230. Then you get audiophile sound. You can walk around some without it skipping too bad, but jogging, etc. is out without the ESP. Sorry. But with ESP on, this baby simply does not skip. The nearly identical CD-230 has about 60 sec. memory, in case you exercise on a pogo stick.
It comes with an AC adapter, so add some amplified speakers and you have a desktop stereo.
And yes, it is the same Citizen as the watch company. I checked the website.
I have had mine for more six months, and have not had the slightest problems with them, despite the ocassional short drop. My prefered headphones are the Koss PortaPro, or other Koss with titanium drivers. They give you lots of bass.

Useful machine.......2005-09-16

Pros:
1) Cheap (I tend to lose these devices)
2) Amazing sound
3) Pretty Rugged

Cons:
1) Heavy
2) Consumes a ton of battery
3) Shuffle algorithm is quite predictable, doesnt seem to be randomizing much

Anticipation.......2005-07-22

I bought this CD player for my step-daughter for Christmas and since it is still only July we have yet to open or play it. It seems like a good machine, in the same packaging as it would be at a retail store but at a great price on Amazon.

Good to listern classics.......2005-06-29

The sound system is very good,bass adds more sonic to the audio, it has nice AM / FM but not good in catching the signals..
CD playing qualitiy is very good.

Pros outweigh Cons on this cd player.......2005-06-09

After my name-brand cd player broke down after just six months of use, I decided that it would probably be best to look for something cheaper so I wouldn't feel bad if it broke down after six months.

I bought this Citizen cd player after I noticed its very low price and many features.

Pros:
*It has a radio in it (with presets). Whenever you're not feeling any of your cds you can always rely on the radio.
*Bass Boost switch. It's always good to have more bass.
*AC Adaptor & built-in charger. If you're out of batteries you get an AC Adaptor which I think is awesome. The built-in charger is for your rechargeable batteries which I think is also awesome.

Cons:
*This thing eats up batteries. I suggest you get some rechargeable batteries or use the AC adaptor when you can.
*The headphones that come with this cd player aren't top-notch. I suggest you get some better ones with this cd player.
*It's kinda big and heavy compared to the other cd players in the market. But I guess it's because of the radio.

Overall, I wouldn't turn this cd player down because of the cons. Even if it might last six months, I think it's worth it if you can find it anywhere brand new for under 13 dollars.

Great graphics card.......2003-07-31

I bought this item on september 2001 and has played me all the games i have. A friend has a 64mb card and yet, my 32mb radeon is still best. It runs all the games you can imagine. The FS2002 runs it perfectly. I am very pleased with this item. Definitely a must buy product.

All you need to upgrade a Dell Dimension XPS-T500.......2002-01-06

I upgraded a Dell 500 MHz PIII stock Rage Pro to this Radeon and the difference is like night and day. Was going to also upgrade the CPU so I could play Ghost Recon, but heck, no need after dropping in a Radeon 32MB DDR. I went from not being able to run the game to getting a fast framerate at 800x600 32 bit color. Save 50% by shopping for an OEM version. Be sure to skip the Radeon VE, Radeon 7000 and 7200 as they are handicapped by either 64 bit data path or half-speed memory.

Dont waste your time and money.......2001-11-28

I bought the ATI AllInWonder Radeon, and was so unhappy with the drivers that I will never buy ATI again. The AllInWonder cannot be used with Windows Media Encoder or RealProducer due to ATI's drivers. It has been a year and they still haven't fixed it. It took ATI months to come out with a good OpenGL driver. Using the ATITv app, going full screen locks up the system. Poor tech support on top of it.

The GuidePlus system is REALLY slow at downloading guide data...regardless of your connection speed.

The older the radeon gets, the better it displays !!!.......2001-09-13

I really mean it what I say, "The older the radeon gets, the better it displays !!!". Let us start from the begining. When ATI released the Radeon, it was a excellent piece of hardware comparable to the best in the industry, BUT with very bad software support. The software support was so bad that it moved the product value from Excellent to Average-. The hardware was forced to perform several notches below its capabilities.

Over the last year, ATI's drivers have matured like wine. Now finally with the latest drivers, the Hardware is being used to the max and gives out excellent results. Performance in games under both Win98/ME and Win2K is excellent. The Radeon has always had excellent 2D to back it up and gives beautifull colour saturation. The same photograps on the Radeon look so very beautifull when I compare it to my original Gerforce.

On the negative side, the drawback is apparent. While the drivers have taken their own sweet time to mature, the product has gone down in the frame comparisons when rated with the Geforce 3 and Geforce 2 Ultras. But then I firmly believe that the Video in/out capability and excellent 2D anyday overweighs a few less frames in any game.

Parting shot: People talk of the Radeon giving lesser frames per second in Quake 3. Tell me, how many of you can differentiate between 75 frames/sec and 85 frames/sec ? If you think you cannot, and if you think 2D is important too as is video in/out, just go out and buy the Radeon. But do decide if you want the 32MB DDR or the 64MD DDR based on your needs and usage.

Excellent Product from ATI.......2001-09-02

I am avid computer upgrade geek formerly loyal to S3 and 3DFX. Now that they are both out of business I looked to ATI for my graphics needs. For some reason I hate Nvidia, same reason why I use AMD and hate Intel.

This video card just works perfect with my Via KT133A and Athlon 1000Mhz CPU. You just need to install Via's 4-in-1 drivers and DirectX 8. It should work fine afterwards. People shouldn't bash this card without trying to fix the problem.

The best feature that this card has that Nvidia GeForce2 lacks is DVD playback. This thing plays DVDs better than any software based solution. It also plays Counter-Strike and other games with great quality and speed.

I give this video card a perfect score. But I really need to get a new monitor, that has been screwing things up for me.

Movie lovers, rejoice! This Toshiba FST Pure 36AF62 television delivers everything you've been dreaming of. FST Pure Fine Pitch Flat Picture tube delivers increased viewing angle along with the enhanced picture linearity necessary to produce accurate life-like images. Black Level Expander improves contrast, which results in a sharper more 3-dimensional picture. Double Baffle speaker system provides supreme stereo sound reproduction without connecting additional speakers and Surround Sound enables the viewer to enjoy an enhanced home theater experience without the connection of additional speakers. Movie and Sports modes allow for instant video adjustments for optimum viewing of popular types of programming. Superb performance and comfort - that's what marks this TV.

Amazon.com Product Description

Enjoy vivid, high-contrast pictures from Toshiba's 36-inch FST PURE flat television. Affordable, stylish, and loaded with features, the 36AF62 makes a great upgrade to a DVD or satellite-based home theater. The set's massive FST PURE ("flatter square tube") tube eliminates intrusive reflections from ambient light relative to conventional CRT designs and broadens the angles from which the screen may be viewed, and Toshiba's Dynamic Quadruple Focus ensures precise resolution from corner to corner.

The 36AF62's three-line digital comb filter and vertical contour correction further enhance resolution by removing blurred edges between colors and reducing dot crawl (tiny, moving dots of color along a sharp color separation in a vertical line, as in a depiction of a character's striped T-shirt). Meanwhile, velocity-scan modulation improves the definition at picture edges, creating sharper images by slowing the CRT (cathode-ray tube) beam's horizontal scanning during demanding work--say, when rendering transitions from light to dark parts of an image--and speeding it up when scanning easily rendered sections, like broad dark areas.

Two other technologies--black-level expander and color-temperature control--work with brightness levels to enhance image quality. Black-level expansion improves contrast (which results in a sharper, more three-dimensional picture), while Color Temperature Control (Warm, Medium, Cool) gives you the ability to easily adjust the set's white balance to achieve the best picture possible, regardless of room lighting.

The set provides stereo reception (with five watts per channel) and SAP (second audio program), which is often used to broadcast an alternate-language track. The 36AF62 derives a heightened sense of stereo separation from its double-baffle speaker system. A ColorStream component-video input provides the ultimate picture quality from interlaced component-video signals; standard composite-video inputs accommodate all DVD players and most other video sources.

Dual-tuner multi-window PIP lets you view two channels at once without the use of a VCR as a second source. Multi-window functionality lets you scan through all the channels via six small boxes along the bottom of the screen.

You get two sets of rear AV inputs (both with S-video) as well as one set of front AV inputs for easy connection with a camcorder or gaming console. A rear AV output lets you hook the set up with a surround receiver. The 36AF62 also features color-temperature control, V-chip parental controls, a sleep timer, and an illuminated remote control.

A Great TV!.......2003-04-28

I did alot of research on TVs before buying this one. The only weak spot this TV has is no volume leveler and that's it. I've had mine for about a year and I'm very, very happy with its performance. For the money, there isn't a better TV out there!

Great picture - lousy remote.......2003-04-26

I'm a recent purchaser of this TV and am very pleased with it. The picture is incredible and very adjustable. The features you get like the multiple S-Video inputs, component input, PIP make it an great bargain for the price ([money] from Amazon and free shipping). I can't tell you about the sound as I have it hooked up to my surround sound system. The only flaw with this TV is the remote. It can control the TV, VCR and a cable box. But it cannot control a sat receiver! In 2003, this is an inexcusable oversight but not enough of one for me to lower my opinion of this great TV.

very pleased.......2002-12-16

This tv has a great picture, and looked like an incredible buy. However after about 3 months, the TV gives off a high pitched whine after 30 minutes - 1 hour after being turned on.

I've had 2 service calls, and they can't fix the problem...
