THERE IS NO CD COVER ON THIS UNIT!!!

Everything gets five stars except that the unit does not come with any type of cover to shield or protect the CD and/or laser depending on if there is a disc ON the machine. Sound quality is great. You have to have the remote control because there are no buttons on the unit. It is portable per se but, again, there is no cover so one needs to be very careful how and where they put it when bringing it anywhere. Not sure I would purchase again. Should've gotten a boom box for the same price. If you don't mind an open air player its a good one but this was a poor design as far as protecting the unit, disc and laser.
