Memorex Portable CD Player with Cassette & Radio

The Memorex portable stereo combines a top-loading CD player, cassette deck, AM/FM radio and aux input into one compact, battery- or AC-powered system for music anywhere.

Blending retro formats with modern convenience, this Memorex unit plays CDs (including CD-R/RW), cassettes and radio stations while letting you connect smartphones or MP3 players through a 3.5mm auxiliary jack.

It’s designed for users who want physical-media playback plus flexible power and easy controls.
