Nearly obsolete, this stereo is from Sony's best ERA, all of the sliders work clean with no static, I removed the tape player because it stopped working, in retrospect,I should have kept it for aesthetics, a portable, or full sized deck can be hooked up through front Jack (see the cable in the picture) components can be removed from the rack for cleaner look...speakers also unhook for separation,cords are about 3 ft long each. Now for the sound, 120 watts!!! crisp highs and tight bass.
