Philips Portable CD Player Bluetooth with Cassette All in one Powerful Stereo Boombox for Home with mega Bass Reflex Speakers, Radio/USB / MP3/ AUX Input with Backlight LCD Display

Excellent boombox at reasonable price. Plays old cassettes which we have lots of, like John Denver and Roger Witteker.

I just received the Philips Boombox a few days ago, and I am VERY PLEASED that I took a chance with it when there were so very few reviews. I was almost going to get the Panasonic Boombox because Panasonic is such a fantastic brand, but then the model that they offer here on Amazon doesn’t have the Bluetooth/streaming feature so that’s why I decided to risk it. PROS: 1) First of all, I was really HOPING that the remote would have an ON/OFF switch—you’d be surprised at what systems DO NOT! It makes it so much easier as you’re just about to sleep to just press the OFF button, than walk over to the other side of the room! The rest of the remote is pretty good, too—simple, functional, although I haven’t programmed any radio stations yet. 2) The sound is great for such a small unit! In my opinion, the sound is very HIGH QUALITY for what you pay. Gets louder than even some traditional everything-in-one sound systems, which I was initially going for before I came to the conclusion that I would “piece together” my sound system with a portable stereo and a Bluetooth record player. 3) Everything works great, the radio picks up most of the stations that I’m interested in (it only has FM stations); I LOVE the Bluetooth function—it is easy to operate and makes things SO FUN! The CD player works well, and even the tape player plays the sound crisply. 4) This unit IS PORTABLE, you just need batteries, if you take it outdoors. 5) The stereo also has an “automatic shut-down” feature that shuts the stereo off after it is left idling for some time. CONS: 1) The CD player loads from the top, so you have to “snap” the CD in place. You just have to be careful to do that with care each time. 2) Although I can pair my record player (Bluetooth) with the stereo, the sound only gets louder when I do this, but the sound quality isn’t there. It actually sounds better with the record player by itself. 3) The tape function is the only thing not on the remote—you have to do that manually (not a complaint), but you can’t record anything on this unit—there’s no record button. 4) The instructions given with this stereo aren’t the clearest. Some experimentation may happen, if you aren’t already familiar with how things work. FYI—I would also recommend purchasing the Asurion 3-year warranty insurance plan with this boombox, in case things go awry. If you maneuver around on your phone/computer, it will display that option in your cart at checkout, if it already does not. +

Este es el boombox perfecto,cuesta más pero,¡lo vale créeme! es el que estaba buscando: sonido claro con 2 bass,uno más potente que el otro y 5 ecualizadores:Powerfull,clear,bright,warm y balance.El mejor es powerfull y bright con el 2º bass. Me parece de buen tamaño y algo pesado,no lo veo como un juguete. BT: 👍👍👍 USB: Me decepcionó un poco al leer una memoria,en la pantalla led no salen los nombres de los tracks ni el artista,solo el número de tracks y duración,no se porque Philips no tomo en cuenta eso y por el costo de este boombox debió hacerlo pero,ok indiscutiblemente su sonido me parece muy bueno. CD: Me encantó que no corta los tracks de un cd mezclado,puedo escuchar la mezcla que hizo el Dj cuando finaliza un track y viene el siguiente. Hasta ahora no se ha comido ninguna cinta. La recepción de la antena de radio es buena,aunque solo tiene FM (algo que para mi no tiene importancia,pues rara vez escucho la radio). Muchas funciones del boombox están en el control de mando y otros adicionales como Mute y el ahorro de energía de la luz led en la pantalla,(en caso de usar pilas) y,a excepción del botón source y la cassetera están solo en el boombox. Modo shuffle: repetir un track,todo el disco y aleatorio. Cómo es de costumbre…Philips nunca pone un botón de grabación en sus casseteras y menos de CD a usb (eso creo) pero solo me interesa que haga bien sus funciones y un buen sonido. Según Amazon,este reproductor tiene 1 año de garantía(algo que ellos me informaron y no sabía). El año pasado compre 3 boombox más baratos,los mismos que devolví y me reembolsaron ya que la calidad me decepcionó totalmente.

No remote control with boombox. No 3 pin plug attached. The power cable is two pin and is attached to a heavy adapter then a 3 pin plug attached to the adapter. This plug hangs out of adapter and is unsafe and unsuitable in my opinion. I wanted to return it but the company said I was out of the return date but it was a Christmas gift and they didn’t take that into account and their replies in my correspondence have been unsatisfactory
