SONY D-NF340 CD WALKMAN
This Cd player is great, it’s batteries last for a long time, I use it for audio books, and it starts up right where I turned it off from the last session.

nice little cd player
Great little player. Only problem is I wish sony would have a regular on off button on the radio as it is easy to turn the radio by accident.

As another reviewer mentioned this is not an Atrac player. This did not affect my score, however. The motor noise is the loudest I’ve heard from any Panasonic/Sony portable player; when the unit starts up or tracks a song, the noise can be loud enough to disturb my (sleeping) partner. When listening to quiet classical passages one can hear noise/hiss in the background which is not on the source CD. (And yes, I did turn off G-protection but that did not help much. ) For pop/rock/electronic music this is not really noticeable. Sound quality is better than MP3 but not as good as CD players from 5 or 10 years ago. Highs seem clipped and bass is muddled. Be sure to read the instruction on how to change the optional settings. (Press display and play when nothing is going on. ) Alas, the audio CD player continues to get pushed aside by the army of iPods and MP3 players and what should be a mature product has declined in quality but not in price. Update: With my Sony V6 headphones, I compared this player to my 11-year old Panasonic SL-SW404. Wish I hadn’t. The DNF340 sounds so muddy by comparison, especially in the bass but even the highs sound clipped. (Both units were set to a “flat” sound. ) Interestingly, the DNF340’s sound quality was on par with my iPod 8gb Nano – we’re comparing a commercial music CD to an MP3 – so maybe Sony really is consciously cheaping out components to the level of other electronics in hopes that people don’t notice.

TONS OF VOLUME, BASS, FEATURES
I purchased the Sony D-NF340 CD Walkman & MP3 Player w/FM Tuner to replace my ageing 11 year old Panasonic SL-S232C portable CD player.

Just what I hoped for – so farI have a cleaning business and listen to books and cds the whole time I work. I am very hard on them, and of course very few last.

Review of Sony D-NF340 CD Walkman
While I realize most people are using MP3 typle players, there still is a use for a traditional CD player.

Try this product!!!
I purchased this product for my husband so that he could listen to Bible doctrine and music via MP3 format.

I like to listen to books on disk while I clean, which means I’m moving around. This CD-player is great. I can move around freely without it interrupting the playback. This is a HUGE improvement over the CD-player I owned previously. Additionally, the sound is good and the interface is intuitive. I am very happy with my purchase.

The product information shown for this item is confusing and misleading. The first paragraph says that it plays both MP-3 discs and ATRAC discs, while the second paragraph (also headed “Product Information”) mentions only MP-3 (and conventional audio CDs). I purchased the item because I have Sony’s Sonic Stage software (from a CD Walkman purchased earlier) and wanted another playback platform for ATRAC discs that I compile from my audio CDs. The product leaflet that came with the CD player states that it plays only MP-3 formal discs and conventional CDs. When I tried to play an ATRAC disc, the device showed “no file. ” I am returning the CD player. PLEASE correct the product information by omitting all mention of ATRAC and ATRACplus; this is an MP-3 player.

Great audio
I bought this for my daughter for Christmas and she loves it. She listen to a mix of FM radio & cd’s and it plays both quite well.

The best portable CD player left?
After searching the net for a day, this was the best CD player I could find. I bought the unit as a backup for my (still functioning well) Sony DNF-430, a unit I’m in love with…

Missing accessories, but very good player
This is corerction to my previous review. I complained that on the box it is stated that this CD player has included headphones and remote control, but both were absent.
