Designed with serious music fans in mind, the Sony D-NF430 CD Walkman lets you listen to your favorite CDs, MP3s, and radio stations in style. The sleek portable player is ideal for listeners who already have extensive music libraries, as it comes with bundled software to burn and play back everything from MP3 to ATRAC3 and ATRAC3plus tracks. The latter is an advanced audio compression technology offering multiple bit rates, allowing you to create music compilations tailored to your listening preference. More significantly, a single CD-R/RW disc can store up to 490 ATRAC3plus selections when burned at 48 kbps, thus saving money, time, and storage space. And if you're just starting your digital music collection, don't fret, as the D- NF430 is compatible with Sony's Connect Music store and its vast online music archives. Listeners who want a little more variety in their music can turn to the built-in digital AM/FM tuner, which also offers accurate drift-free tuning of select TV and weather stations. The tuner is ideal for catching a special report on NPR, listening to the ballgame, or receiving a quick 24- hour weather forecast. And switching between those stations is quicker than ever thanks to the 51 station presets, including 30 FM, 10 AM, four weather band, and seven TV presets. The D-NF430 offers a wide array of playback modes (18 in all), ranging from repeat and random play to track programming to bookmarking. The five-direction control key, meanwhile, makes navigation a breeze. The CD Walkman's no slouch from an audio perspective, either, with such features as a parametric equalizer that lets the user set not only the amount (in dB) by which a certain frequency band is boost or cut, but also the width and/or center frequency of the band; Digital Mega Basss sound, which employs digital processing technology to produce rich, deep bass tones with extremely low harmonic distortion; and a two-position Automatic Volume Limiter System (AVLS) that maintains the volume output at levels below the distortion threshold for cleaner sound reproduction. Best of all for joggers and other active users, the D-NF430 offers Sony's skip-free G-Protection technology, which ensures quick recovery from horizontal and vertical shock. Other details include an easy-to-read three-line LCD, multilingual support for LCD text and ID3 tagging, a set of earbud headphones, and an auto-shutoff feature to conserve battery life. The D- NF430, which runs for up to 413 hours on a single AA battery (not included), measures 5-1/2 inches in diameter and 1-1/4 inches tall and is backed by a 90-day warranty on parts and labor.

I have already written an interim report on this item, which I was obliged to send---at my own expense---to Sony's Texas repair facility, on the telephone advice of one of Sony's tech support persons. I liked the device's quality of sound very much, but the controls were too small to work easily and, eventually, the device failed to call up one of its own programs. Sony tech support was unable to help, and advised sending it off to Texas---which I did, and am still waiting for its return plus any comments from that facility on why the device wouldn't call up one of its own programs. Once the device comes back and I have a chance to explore its functioning, I'll provide another report. |

Great CD Player |
It is a great CD/MP3/Radio walkman. No doubt it is the best one of similar products. The CD playing is of best quality. It is possible to adjust sound effect by applying preset or user defined equilizers. Have own the player for some months, two disavantages annoy me: no backlight for LCD on the player. The 4 in 1 radio is really great. However the background noise can not be eliminated. It is can not be ignored if a hi-end headphone is used.
If you love enjoying CD replay, choose it. If you are a radio maniac, be prepared not be bothered by the background noise which you can do nothing about it.

Great Walkman Great Battery power ease of use |
|
This is a great CD player and radio. I use this to knit and listen to books. It works great and it takes only 1 AA battery that definitely gets a lot of time. Highly recommend. Also, the ear buds that come with it work really well. I use a headset unless I'm in an enclosed area near others and I have used the ear buds with great success. |

Great player |
I got one of these for myself many months ago. Then I got another for my daughter. Unfortunately, mine was stolen. I got it through one of the Mychildrensstore stores for under $50.00, brand new. It looks just like this one. The model number is the same. So why the ridiculous, inexplicable, plain ol' wrong spike in price? That said...I do love the thing. This is my second Sony ATRAC. I got the first years ago, and it finally fell apart after years of play, hours every single day. I used it so much, the silver finish wore off. The little black piece that holds the CD on came off. Even then, I pushed it back on occasionally and used it for months until it finally just wouldn't stay on. So I borrowed one of the kids cheapos for awhile. I couldn't stand the sound quality. So when I started looking to replace mine, I had no other thought than to get another Sonly ATRAC. My first one had been dropped, stepped on, flung across the car (before I put a CD player in my car), and otherwise abused. It just kept on playing and rarely, if ever, even skipped. I remember one time, on a particularly curvy road through the mountains, it was flung off of the seat onto the floor and just sat there, playing as though nothing had happened, until I could retrieve it.
On this one, the TV reception is good and the radio is good. Unfortunately, the weather radio has a very limited channel listing, and in our remote area picks up nothing... The ATRAC software is very easy to use. I can put a whole group of, or specific genre of music on one disc. That way if I'm in the mood for Jazz, or chill, or what ever, I can take a whole slew of music with me, without taking my precious CD library out into the cold, harsh world. Unfortunately, I had difficulty downloading the software (I'm not the best at this sort of thing, so it is probably just me). Fortunately, I had my old ATRAC disc from the first one and it still works great. So, if you can, skip the cheapo discount store offerings and get this. You'll actually be able to hear music the way the musicians and producers intended. You won't be disappointed. |

Great CD player |

I really like this sony CD player (with AM/FM/TV/Weather). The functions and buttons are well placed and easy to use. Sound quality is great and I really like that it uses just one AA battery and that the player turns itself off after a CD is finished (no drain on the the battery when not in use) and the battery lasts a long time in this player. Also, the radio gets very good reception and I've had no problems with skipping (even when in motion). I highly recommend it. |
