Selected User Reviews For GPX BCA209B Portable Am/FM Boombox with CD and Cassette Player, Black
You're an excellent player. I bought it for my toddler to listen to old CDs and tapes that belonged to me when I was a kid. The size is ideal for a child's room and transport is simple. It doesn't appear to be breaking or falling apart anytime soon. It's of reasonable quality, and I appreciate how straightforward all of the buttons and functions are. My three-point plan is very straightforward. year- In less than a day, a child can operate the stereo. The sound quality is excellent. Overall, I think $40 is too much for such a basic player, but I understand that having a tape player makes it more rare, and there is less competition for such a product. The photo shows the size of the player in comparison to a standard CD case.
They should make it clear that you can't tell what radio station you're listening to because there's no way to tell. br>Aside from that, the reviews are spot on. Indicators for CDs and tapes are shaky at best. The good news is that it can play tapes and CDs. s well, the speakers produce good sound for such a small unit, and it's extremely portable. br>However, the radio frequency thing irritates me; who does it? They get two stars for their blind radio tuning. br>NEW ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: When I tried to use the tape function for the second time, it decided not to work. It's a real drag. I put ten tapes through their paces. nothing. It began to play after I gave it a whack in frustration. br>Final Thoughts: This equipment is not recommended because of the lack of a radio tuner frequency and its unreliability. br>NEW UPDATES: The tape player finally stopped working one day.
It plays all of my cassettes and CDs, as well as having a great radio. I'm very happy with this little player because I'm able to pick up several stations that I couldn't get on my other, now-defunct, box. It only takes up a small amount of space and sounds fantastic. I can't think of anything negative to say about it. It is recommended that you purchase it.
I purchased this to use with earphones at night while listening to meditation CDs. So far, I haven't been able to get my earphones to work with it, and once the CD is finished, it starts making this strange screeching noise, which I assume is meant to alert you that the CD is finished. It jolted me awake right away, and I couldn't figure out how to turn it off for the life of me. br>br>Because all of the buttons are black, it's difficult to tell which ones do what. They don't appear to be where one would expect them to be, and because they're all black, figuring out how to use this thing is a little difficult. br>br>It was inexpensive, but not at all worth the money I paid for it. I just wanted something simple to listen to my meditation CDs with, but this ended up giving me more headaches than it was worth.
All functions worked except when the headphones were plugged in, which was a brand new product. When I plugged in the headphones, the unit would sometimes shut down, and other times the sound would come from the unit's speakers rather than the headphones. I tried three different pairs of headphones and had the same results. It's been boxed up and will be returned.
I wish there was a way to determine your location within the radio station spectrum. Finding the station that I'm looking for takes a long time.
It performs admirably. Control kobs should be more obvious.
It was impossible to keep the button pressed. The examination revealed no anomalies, but there are so many small parts that I was stumped. In light of the speaker's small size, it sounds average. It would be nice if there were some color options other than black. They're sending me a new one with no shipping charges either way for either unit, so I'll get back to you after I've had a chance to try it out for more than two weeks.
