HOW ABOUT A STANDARD AC ADAPTER ?? WHAT ABOUT ALL TV CHANNELS
with HDTV broadcast coming soon this will not receive the TV band. Not that I use it much, it only has VHF, no UHF. I live in hell AKA Atlanta, GA, most stations are UFH. Now in NY it would work better, till 02/2009.
Sony does not include an AC adapter, wants to suck a few extra bucks out of you. The shipping cost for the extra unit is what disappoints me as well as finding it.
The unit does work well with MP3's. My AC unit died so I am using this every day, for about a year, but changing batteries is a pain.

CD Player
Where is my CD player. I have tried to contact seller but no response. I have submitted claim to Amazon.
Hard to Open
I liked this cd but I had to buy another one because it was too hard to open. YOu have to make sure it is directly line up with the arrow or it will not play the radio or the cd. I just went ahead and bought myself a less complicated sony. Otherwise it is okay. Oh yes, it didn't have a bass boost. So you know for me it had to go.
Great for walking and running
The Sony ATRAC is great, easy to walk/run when I go outside to exercise. I prefer to listen to books and many have copy protection so I can not download. I have no problems with skipping and it's light weight and the hand holds give me confindence that I am not going to drop my CD player.
Allright for a CD player
I have also found this player to be cumbersome and hard to operate. I happen to be a bit taller than the average man, and also have problems with the short cord on the headphones pulling the earpieces out of my ears. Also, the screen doesn't light up, so night time use is out. Overall, I liked the product, but I'm a little embarrassed to carry it around because everyone else has iPods. It's bulky, but I've never had problems using it as a cd player and it picks up more stations than my car.
