The Boombox has a strong build and an awesome sound system! This stereo was just around $110 last 2 weeks when I bought it in Malaysia

A manual equalizer is selected (set to manual).

Unfortunately, I am so disappointed with this that I cannot refrain from giving it a poor rating
3/5

It is not my style to give bad reviews, but this boombox has really disappointed me. As soon as the cassette was opened out of the box, the cover That's not a big deal, so I didn't even bother to send Taping it down was all I had to do. In an article in the It is pretty good to use the player. As soon as I tried plugging in my ipod, the right speaker was so screechy that I was unable to hear There was no sound coming out of the two and sixteen gig USB flash drives that I used to download music. There was a substantial amount of money I spent on this item. I am not at all happy with it!.

However, this does not seem right
3/5

There is nothing better than a CD player such as this. The sound is great. Set up of the operation buttons is good. Nevertheless, the campaign does not track well. I tried all CDs and none could be played. As a result I bought another in hopes that this one would be even The truth is that it wasn't. THIS IS NOT A PRODUCT YOU SHOULD BUY!.

Despite my best efforts to close the CD tray it will not shut after 3 weeks
3/5

Tuesday, October 2 - Wednesday, October 4, 2017 The update is The CD tray broke 2 weeks after I posted my first positive review of this product. The CD tray will not stay closed after inserting a cd and pressing the close button. It opens up again just as soon as it's closed. As a result, I can't play any CD through this boombox since the tray will not stay closed. Amazon has been contacted about this again. That the brand new product simply breaks down within three weeks after purchase is very disappointing. You can tell a lot about the quality of this product from the fact that I don't plan to buy this brand again if I can get my money back from Amazon.

There were no working cassette players on 2 of the boomboxes
3/5

It was a real treat to receive I thought it looked great and heard good from the speakers. As soon as we tried a cassette, the player listened to the cassette on another player, and it sounded Our second boombox didn't work either when it was exchanged when the second one arrived, the cassette player didn't work either. Bought a different brand of boombox instead of returning the first.

An exceptional stereo system with a compact design
5/5

It is much more than a mere "boom box," as this is a compact stereo system you truly need to With an included AC cord or a set of 8 AA batteries, it can run There are two sizes of Mine is pretty good after a year, it is really easy to operate.

You must turn it on by pushing TAPE/OFF can be pushed to turn off the tape. However, the sound quality on this unit is true "as-is" The equalizer has five presets, including "heavy" (more bass), "soft", which can be used for late tv or video During the night, set the settings to "clear," "vocal," and "off. ". In this case, for example. Setting the bass a notch or two lighter if "heavy" is a little too heavy might do the trick. There is also a "rewind" feature associated with the virtualizer, that lets you listen to the original audio again During recording, frequencies are lost however, when reproducing, the master feature is activated. Please note I-AM-*****

You can listen to the radio on FM It is imperative to get four fresh AA batteries and install them in the player in order to prevent the player from erasing radio presets if power is interrupted. You should also install batteries in your remote control. You can choose from 16 presets for each AM and FM station. A car stereo can be set with one extra step, just as you set your car radio. The lowest radio frequency should be the starting point. Simply press the forward arrow on your remote for a second and the first station will be found. Tell me you want a preset in On the left side of the screen, click "Program" By pressing the number buttons, you can assign a number to it (e. g. It will be your preset if you press #1) and that is the value you chose. To move on to the next station, simply push the forward button To initiate a program, press the "program" button, followed by the number buttons (e. g. Then, #2) and that's It is also possible to set presets for the strongest stations in your area automatically by clicking on the "auto preset" button. By pressing a station's number on the keypad of the remote control, you can listen to your favorite station. *****CD's ************ CD'S On CD's, you can program the tracks to play in an ordered manner, or omit some from the order. There is a port for connecting a USB flash drive (MP3 only) to play music from it, which I appreciate. It is possible to use up to There are only a few of them about $12 if you don't have one. It doesn't matter which songs you choose on your 8GB flash drive -- not only can you get all the songs on one flash drive, but you also pick which ones to put I thank the person who devised this system from the bottom of my heart. It is possible to get music on the flash in a couple of ways 2) Synchronizing with your computer. This method should be used if you use playlists that allow you to set the order in which songs play, such as It is unfortunate that these playlists can not be guaranteed. There have been reviews for several MP3 players that report they either do not have playlists, take a long time to set up, From reviews, it appears many people like playlists, so this is an area manufacturers may be interested in developing. I have found that on Panasonic systems, about 70% of the playlist order will play when you sync Media Player with the Panasonic system. You will need to open your computer and Windows Media Player before you can get to work You can connect the flash drive to the USB port of Media Player and it will be recognized. Choose your playlists if you would like this feature. Click on the arrow under "Sync" to start. When it is done, wait until it says it has been completed, then look at the report to see if you have been missed. It is possible to re-submit It is possible to add these manually or through sync. 3) Direct copy and paste method. You do not have to use Media Player in this case Into the USB port of the computer you insert the flash drive You can open My Computer by clicking on My You need to open your Music folder when you open the flash drive It's just a matter of copying the files It is just the audio files, not the folders and subdirectories Organize your files! Like any other window, you can drag the flash drive window to the desktop. It took me a long time to learn one thing. The USB has been working flawlessly for over a year, so when I heard that only a few songs would play recently, I just couldn't believe it! Although I felt awful, I decided to keep the boombox to listen to CDs, cassette tapes, and the In truth, it was a broken heart that I felt. I found out that it was in good condition. Upon popping the flash into the computer, I noticed that it contained a TON of music FOLDERS instead of the music FILES I had My mistake was that I had mistakenly changed all the music on the flash drive to the same song as it is on the computer when I added recently purchased music to the drive. My folders and subfolders were removed as soon as I did that I deleted all the folders and left only songs on the flash drive. I am now able to play the music It's all over! If you turn off the player and turn it back on a week later, it will remember where it was on the USB drive and take up where it left off A lot of the music is played, and you can tell when it is finished because it stops and waits for you to press Some of my music was ripped from CDs I own. *****
Digital Rights Issues *****
some of my music was ripped from CDs I own. To convert to MP3, I simply changed the format in Media Player. Amazon's music was the rest of what I downloaded. I have not had any issues with digital rights, which is appreciable since the music was purchased. There might be times when you listen to music and do this one song is quiet so you turn it up, the next is loud, so you turn it down again. Adding auto volume leveling to music on USB flash drives helps to solve this. It is known as "normalizing" when you adjust the music volume. Changing the highs or lows within the songs will result in the overall volume sounding similar from song to song. " You can adjust the volume of your music using Windows Media Player, but these features do not transfer to your flash drive. If you are a bit "tech-savvy," (you don't have to be a sound engineer), you can use MP3Gain for free. You can look up the MP3 Gain You Tube videos and the website of the product by searching MP3 Gain on Google. Get a sense of how the product works and if you feel comfortable You should read the Help file carefully before you use this product in particular, you want to ensure that it is setup so that you can undo any changes you dislike. It's not a bad idea to backup your music before putting it on the flash. You can put music on the flash and then level it, or you can level your computer's My Music folder For some programs, re-normalizing is necessary to improve performance You will see a slight change in your music since it is encoded. Despite this, MP3Gain makes it a point to not revise It is encoded. The CD I produced using MP3Gain followed the above advice and was ecstatic with the final product.
