Boomboxes are fine music makers that let people maximize the entertainment of listening to good music with better sound quality, louder volumes, and clearer details. The Sony CFDG700CP CD Boombox Radio Cassette Recorder is one of these products with excellent quality and functional features that aren’t only for aesthetics, but also for music-making.

Design

Sony calls this device a boombox and made use of its trademark Xplod Boombox design, which is designated for devices with higher quality and power and more aggressive looks. The look of this device is definitely aggressive, with its highlights of red and a silver face, fronting its rugged black body. It’s a “cool” machine with a nice aesthetic design that’s fresh as far as Sony devices go. Despite its classic cassette tape compatibility, it has a very funky look that makes it stand out and match the younger generations’ style preferences.

Not only that, the controls are easy to use as well. It also has a remote control which makes it easier for navigation without the need to stand up and press buttons on the machine itself. It has a weight of 19 pounds and the dimensions of 55.1 x 37.0 x 24.6 cm, quite bulky but easy to carry around and take to different places.

The single-line LCD display is as simple as can be, only giving the necessary information based on which media is playing, and what the details of the song being played are.

Audio

The speakers are excellent in their music-making abilities. The built-in stereo system has a speaker, tweeter, and woofer. The dimensions of the speaker are 10 cm for each, the tweeter is 2 cm, and the woofer is 13 cm. The speakers are 4W each and the woofer is 12W, creating a total power output of 20W. For a boombox, this device has an excellent sound level.

It has five preset equalizer modes which are rock, dance, reggaeton, salsa, and flat – perfect for any party music. The disc player has programming options of repeat and shuffle, and the CD formats supported are CD-R/RW with MP3 and WMA file types. The cassette tape player allows you to play old cassettes, or record on them. The radio has a digital tuner with 30 FM and 10 AM preset channels for easy scanning.

Other Features

The device also has its own timer which provides 6 different sleep times. You can also connect the boombox to components, MP3 players, PCs, TVs, and VCRs. You can use a microphone through the audio in jack and a headset through the audio out jack. The unit operates on AC/DC but it can also be operated by 8 D-size batteries which can last up to 18 hours of playtime if Sony alkaline batteries are used.

Conclusion

I am very satisfied with the performance of the Sony CFDG700CP CD Boombox Radio Cassette Recorder which not only lets me listen to my favorite soundtracks from my CD collection and my favorite radio stations, but also allows me to record on a cassette tape. Getting a vintage device with a modern design and high-tech features is something quite difficult to do, and I’m lucky to have found the device that I want in this baby. So if you want to makes use of new technology music-making while also accommodating the vintage cassette tape for music and recording, I highly recommend that you get this model because it has everything that you can ever ask for in a boombox.

Compact is what every person now wants in all the devices that he buys. No bulky appliances – that’s the trend. Unless it’s a 41’’ LCD TV that you’re getting, you better get it small. But the quality can’t be compromised by the small size, like the Panasonic SC-HC30 Compact Stereo System which is small but definitely terrible, in a good way. I’d like to share with you everything there is to know about this model.

Design

It’s compact as it is, and it’s extremely thin. This makes it easy to make room for it when you come home with this thing in your arms. With the dimensions of 4’’ x 19.6’’ x 7.9’’ inches and a mere weight of 6.2 pounds, you can easily bring this anywhere you go, and transfer it to any room in the house anytime you want. It’s also very nice to look at because of its stylish design. It has a motorized sliding door which keeps the iPod dock and LCD out of view, and when it opens up, you just have to admire the mechanism.

It’s easy to make space for this device and it’s also easy to keep it in place, just as long as the front part remains open so whenever you have to dock or undock your iPod or iPhone and load or unload your CD, you don’t have to move the device over and over again.

Video

The fluorescent display makes it easy to see the necessary information regarding the song being played, the track number on the CD, the length of song, the name of artist, the album name, and other basic info. The display also dims when it’s not in use, and the auto power off function turns off the device after a while of being unused.

Audio

The speakers of this device are dual passive radiators which make use of advanced bamboo cones which make vocals very clear and pure, and dialogs easier to understand and crisper in sound. Each speaker has 20W output power, creating 40W of total output power that makes good quality and very audible sound. It has preset equalizers for better sounding and you have the option of choosing from heavy, clear, soft, vocal, and flat equalizer modes.

The radio tuner is digital and it can save up to 30 FM and 15 AM stations as preset. This makes it easy for auto tuning where you simply have to scan your preset stations and choose your favorite one or the clearest frequency.

The CD player supports formatted discs that are CD, CD-R, and CD-RW, and music file types which are MP3 and WMA. You can also play your iTunes from your iPod when it’s docked. It also has bass and treble sound controls for a better sound output, and it has a surround sound function that makes sound even more resonant inside the room or home.

Other Features

The model is wall mountable and you can easily set up screws for it to hang onto so you wouldn’t have a hard time clearing up space for this new machine. When you dock you iPod or iPhone in it, it automatically charges so no matter how long you play that device, you don’t have to worry about power shortage or empty batteries. You can also use the special timer to set schedules for sleep and play times, which can be permanent or daily, depending on your preferences.

The remote control makes it extremely easy to navigate through the device even at a distance. No need to stand up and press different buttons just to get what you want. You also have the choice of playing music from an external audio source which can be connected through the AUX jack.

Conclusion

I am a very happy owner of this very compact and affordable yet very powerful music maker. And because I love it, I thought you might love it as well and shared with you all the great functions of this machine. The Panasonic SC-HC30 Compact Stereo System is an excellent addition to the home entertainment system, and I wouldn’t mind giving my mom one of these because of its low price. You never know, you might want to get one too.

Music systems are some things you just have to have in your home, whether it’s a portable mini CD player, a boombox, or a complete home entertainment system. But the Denon DM-38 Micro AM/FM/CD System is one of the best music systems that you can ever get. And with its excellent features, you’ll definitely not mind its price.

Design

This model is easy to set because its speakers can be placed on different areas, and the player itself can be kept in a shelf or in the TV rack. The remote control allows easy navigation, but the buttons are easy to use themselves. The simple yet classy all-black design makes it mix and complement any room and home. Its speaker and woofer with tweeter make it produce excellent quality sound that anyone will definitely love. I admire the sound this device makes, it makes me want to jump to the beat everytime.

It has the dimensions of 15.5’’ x 12.6’’ x 22’’ and a total weight of 31 pounds, very compact for a very powerful sound system. You can place it in the living room, in the family room, in the entertainment room, in the bedroom, or even in the kitchen if you want. It’s perfect for home use, but you can also use it in the office or outdoors.

Video

The two-line fluorescent display has a dot matrix output that shows all the basic information you need like the source of music, the title of the song, the length of song, the file type, track number, and many others. It’s simple and plain functional, straightforward in its purpose.

Audio

The audio features of this device make it award-winning. It has a subwoofer and tweeter system which is comprised of a 120mm long-throw double layered cone woofer and a 25mm soft dome tweeter. The output power is up to 30W per output channel, creating extremely loud sound without any cracking or shaking noise.

The radio tuner is digital with 20 presets for both AM and FM, making tuning in easy by simply choosing the channel of your favorite radio station. The CD player can play any CD-R/RW formatted disc and MP3 and WMA file types. The model is also compatible with iPod devices for external audio sources.

Other Features

You can connect your iPod using the USB cable specifically designed for that purpose. Your iPhone can also be played on this device. Additional functionality is provided by the timer feature of the system, which allows you to set a timer for once or daily alarm settings, as well as sleep mode. The remote control has all the complete functionality that you need to navigate through the device without having to stand up and press buttons.

Conclusion

While you’re browsing for other cheaper and less bulky models, let me just say that this is incomparable because its size and price are both reasonable for the quality of sound and excellent features that this model has. There’s no doubt why it’s so expensive – you have to pay a good sum of money to get such a beautiful baby. But don’t take my word for it. You can always try one out and see if it suits your tastes. It did mine, and I can’t be any happier with my Denon DM-38 Micro AM/FM/CD System.

Sony has always been an excellent company when it comes to electronics and appliances, and a home entertainment system is one thing they can create well. The Sony LBT-GTZ4i 3-Disc CD Changer Mini Shelf System is one of the greatest models of Sony music systems, and it has awesome functions, anyone who has it just has to love it. Let’s dig in deeper to know more about this model.

Design

It’s big and bulky but it’s definitely beautiful, and the orange-accented cone speakers add aesthetic value to the entire system. It’s not a dull and boring plain black audio set – it’s black with silver highlights and orange circles all over, very easy on the eyes. It fits perfectly in any home décor, as well.

But this definitely isn’t designed for portability, as it weighs a great 60 pounds and has the dimensions of 37’’ x 22’’ x 19’’. You have to make room for this, or else it’ll clutter up your room. The best place for this baby is on a rack, just like a TV, or on the floor. But elevating it would look better so that it doesn’t seem like a lost appliance.

Video

This device has a very interactive screen that shows lighting effects while music is playing. The screen displays the song title and artist of soundtracks played from an MP3 player, USB, or iPod; the track number and length of the song being played on the CD as well as the number of the CD being played; and the frequency of the radio station currently tuned in to.

Audio

There must be no other device as complete as this. This model has everything you need in a music player – woofer with dual subwoofers, amplifier, bass boost, equalizer, CD player, radio tuner, iPod player, USB compatibility, and a lot of other extra functions.

The CD player can dock 3 discs at a time. There are two USB ports for playing music files from a USB flash drive or other USB-connectible devices. You can also play your favorite iTunes from your iPod, or just listen to your favorite radio station. The radio is digitally tuned with 20 FM and 10 AM preset channels for easy tuning in. The CD player can program CD playing functions like repeat and random, and the machine can read any CD-R/RW or DVD formatted discs.

The speakers are actually two subwoofers and a woofer which have excellent sound control, 8 preset equalizers, bass boost function, cinema space or surround sound, and a high compression horn. The subwoofers have an output power of 185W each. How awesome is that? This’ll definitely get your groove on anytime.

Other Features

There are so much more additional features of this device which include voice recording on different media; a record, play, and sleep timer for USB; a 3-band graphic equalizer; audio in and out for microphones and headphones with volume control; a fully functional remote control; a PC audio input; and even a power saver mode. You’ll certainly have the time of your life navigating through this thing, enjoying all its features, and maximizing the qualities and capabilities that it has to offer.

Conclusion

There’s really nothing bad you can say about this. I myself can’t help but praise the device. It’s big, heavy, and definitely costly, but all these are just fit for the awesome machine that the Sony LBT-GTZ4i 3-Disc CD Changer Mini Shelf System really is. I recommend those who are looking for something to complete their entertainment systems at home to purchase this and add it to collection because this device is the exact definition of entertainment.

I’m a music lover and I make sure that my interests are all provided by my home. And adding the iLive IH319B CD and Radio Home Music System in my home entertainment system is not only awesome, it’s also very satisfying. Here are some of the features that might interest you as well.

Design

This is a pretty simple device if you look at it. Without an iPod docked inside, you’d think the motorized door was just a fluff or something. The buttons are few and simple, but it has a remote control so you don’t have to worry about navigating through the device. It’s wide so you have to make space for it, but it’s thin so you can just free some front space and lean it to fit. The motorized door needs space, though, and it’s better to keep the front area open so you can operate it easily.

The black finish is excellent as it is easy to blend in any home décor. The motorized door is an exciting feature that makes the device an innovative item, and the built-in speakers completely provide total functionality that you need in any home music system.

Video

The LCD has a white backlight and displays various information like the song title and artist of the soundtrack being played on the iPod, the CD track number and length of song being played, the frequency of the radio station that you’re tuned in to, and even the time and a countdown timer for extra functionality.

Audio

The sound quality is excellent enough for the size and the price, and I can say I’m completely happy with it. Radio tuning is easy on this device because it uses digital tuning, and it allows you to save preset stations so you can just choose the channel that you want and sit cozily while listening to your favorite station. The digital volume control can be easily adjusted at a distance using the remote control. The stereo speakers with cloth grills are safe from dust invasion, prolonging the life of your stereo system. They also produce excellent quality sound for better listening and entertainment. You can also adjust the equalizer to presets according to your preference.

The CD player can play CD-R/RW formatted discs, and you can also program the CD tracks to repeat and random. You also have the choice to play music from external music sources using the AUX jack which can be connected to MP3 players and other music devices.

Other Features

The remote control makes navigation and operation easy for this device. You can also use a headphone for private listening by connecting it to the audio out jack. The digital clock doesn’t just show time, it also provides a countdown timer so if you need to finish an activity within a specific span of time, you can use this to guide you and prevent you from getting late.

The iPod dock plays your iPod tracks while charging the device so you won’t have to worry about emptying your iPod’s batteries. You can also view photos while playing music because you can still operate the iPod while on the dock. The device operates on AC/DC, and perhaps the only thing lacking on this is a battery back-up.

Conclusion

I have to say I highly recommend the iLive IH319B CD and Radio Home Music System to anyone who wants to add a functional, stylish, and excellent music player in his home. This is a very remarkable device and despite its flaws, its affordable price makes it a good bargain that you won’t regret getting. So if your wife loves music or your daughter wants her own stereo system in her room, this could be one of the best gifts you can get them this Christmas.

Micro components are the new mini. It’s the trendiest when it comes to stereo systems, and you’d not want to miss the iPod dock for that matter. And one device that has all the imaginable functions that you need and want in a stereo system must be the JVC UX-LP5 CD Micro Component System – a definitely hot new model that you can’t resist. I couldn’t, and I have to say, I’m very happy to have gotten it. So let me share some information about this model.

Design

It’s sleek, black, and very elegant. You can fit it in any part of your house, but I’d say put it in a very conspicuous place like in front of the TV rack or something. I placed it on its own side table beside the TV so that it boasts of its beauty and stereo prowess in front of any guest. It’s easy enough to operate, and it has a very cool iPod flip dock that you can flip back if you’re not using it. It’s definitely a wonderful addition to the home entertainment system.

The device isn’t made for travel, although it’s a micro component system. It’s quite bulky if you ask me, but it’s light enough to transfer from one place to another if you carry every part individually. However, you’d need to assemble all the lines and cords again if you do so. The set weighs a total of 4.7 kilos, the speakers 1.4 kilos each, and the component 1.9 kilos. The speakers each have the dimensions of 14.0 x 25.0 x 18.8 cm, and the component itself has the dimensions of 16.5 x 25.8 x 25.8 cm. it takes up quite a lot of space so you need to make room for it.

Video

Its one-line fluorescent display shows all the necessary information you need when it plays a CD, an external music source, or an iPod, and it also shows the frequency of the radio station that you’re tuned into. It goes dimmer after a while of being unused. The device has a video out connector which you can use to play movie CDs, if for instance you want to watch a movie on the TV but play the sound on the component.

Audio

The speakers are powerful with the total sound level of 80 dB, a good volume for an entire house or street party. There are some issues about the sound quality, though, but I think it depends on how you equalize the machine. It has total adjustment control over treble and bass, and it even has Hyper Bass and Sound Turbo. The Sound Turbo function allows dynamic sound quality that emphasizes treble and bass, turns on the Hyper Bass PRO, and makes watching movies or listening to music more lifelike and entertaining.

The radio makes use of a digital tuner and you can save 30 FM and 15 AM stations as preset for easier tuning. It makes use of a digital amplifier system with 70 watts of total output power, more powerful than most components with the same features.

The CD player has programmable functions including repeat and random. It reads most CD-R/RW formatted discs and it plays files of MP3 and WMA types. The speakers are woofer type which is quite obvious because of its good sound quality and performance.

Other Features

As far as function goes, this model has a lot more to offer. It has a remote control for easy navigation at a fair distance, sleep timer, three preset alarm times for three different schedules of waking up, an audio in for a microphone, a video out for playing movies on video equipment, an audio out for headphones, and a flip dock for iPod.

The iPod can be controlled on the device or using a remote to play, pause, skip, search, repeat, random, menu, select, wheel, and up or down. But it only supports iPods with 4G technology or later models.

Conclusion

What can I say? This is a very lovable device. I can’t day it’s perfect, but it has a lot of excellent features that just make you really happy having it. I’m confident to recommend the JVC UX-LP5 CD Micro Component System to anyone out there who wants a great and complete component system added to their home entertainment sets.

Boomboxes come in different shapes and sizes, brands and makes. But where can you get a vintage double cassette player that’s just new in the market? The Supersonic SC-2020 CD Boombox is one of the later models of double cassette tape players that have been designed as boomboxes, loud music players that can rock the house down. But what does it have to offer?

Design

It looks similar to most boomboxes – big, bulky, and has two speakers at each side. But it really has more of that vintage look, an old model of cassette tape player, much like the ones we had when we were still in high school and it was the early 90’s. It’s a very manual machine and you have to operate everything by hand and on the device itself. It has no remote, but it does have a CD player deck at the top. It’s pretty plain and simple, and the design is classic.

It’s bulky as like any loud music-making device, but as a boombox it would have been better less large because it would be nice to bring it around like when you’re out of town or having a party at another place. It weighs 12 pounds and it’s 25.75’’ wide, 10’’ deep, and 11.25’’ tall.

You might find operating it confusing at first, as like with most old and old-designed stereo systems which have so many buttons, wheels, and tuners on it. You’d have to read closely on the small text labels of every button and gear that you press or turn, but that’s normal as far as a first-time-used device goes.

Video

It has a very simple LCD display that only shows the track number of the song on the CD being played. There’s nothing much to say about it, and it’s practically useless if you’re not playing a CD on the device.

Audio

The stereo set is composed of an FM tuner, a CD player, and a double cassette player. No new device can be as old as the design of this model. The FM tuner is analogue and it makes use of a telescopic antenna to find coverage. This is one of the things I dislike most about this model because I seriously hate analogue tuning. But I didn’t really expect a high-tech operational system for this especially when I saw that it had a double cassette player. I mean, who uses cassette nowadays?

I think most people use the cassette for recording. And those who have cassette collections also enjoy playing their favorite old songs on this device. It’s pretty good for a cassette player but its sound system may not be as much. For a boombox, it’s not that noisy, and you have to manually equalize the stereo. I think that’s a good point, though, because you can alter the sound equalizer to the most precise level that you find preferable.

Other Features

The radio is dual to tri band, and the volume control is rotary. Its CD deck has an auto stop system, and it also has a built-in microphone that allows you to record directly on the boombox itself. You can listen as loud as you want or privately by using headphones. It has a headphone jack for that purpose. The device operates on AC/DC power, but it has an 8-piece D-battery compartment so you can use back-up power for outdoor use, or if there are power outages and you still want to tune in.

Conclusion

It’s as decent as it is, but not as slick and functional as many other devices. But for its price, it can be a good bargain. I use it for FM and CD playing only, as I do not have cassettes and I stick to one radio station. Nevertheless, I’m quite satisfied with the Supersonic SC-2020 CD Boombox and I wouldn’t mind recommending it to those who’d like to have an additional stereo system in their homes.

Compact component systems are becoming more popular nowadays, and who doesn’t love a compact yet useful device? We all want something small enough to fit in most of the extra spaces that we can spare in our appliance-filled homes. If you’re like me who wants to keep his home entertainment system complete and yet leave enough space for some dancing and party activities in the living room, I have the perfect model to introduce to you – the Yamaha CRX-330BL Micro Component Receiver CD Player.

Design

Weighing at 6.8 pounds and having the dimensions of 7.1″ x 4.6″ x 11.9″, it’s less than a foot long in its longest dimension and as light as a baby, which makes it easy to stuff this baby in any extra space in your TV rack or on top of your work desk. The sleek, black finish makes the device a stylish and yet simple addition to the home décor. It blends in easily and you won’t have a hard time fitting it in any room of the house. The additional aluminum front panel with aluminum buttons and the large volume adjustment controller are some more aesthetic as well as functional features of the device.

The buttons are easy enough to operate, and the iPod and USB dock on the top of the device is easy to access. There are no hassles in using this very consumer-friendly machine. Just make sure that you put it on the topmost area or desk so you can easily dock the iPhone or iPod on it, and you wouldn’t have to pull it out of a shelf and set it on the floor or something if you dock the iPod or USB flash drive on it.

Video

It has a simple dot matrix LCD display which only shows the CD track number that’s playing and the length of the track. It also displays the name of artist, song title, and album name of the soundtrack being played when it plays tracks from a USB flash drive. Depending on the format of your device, the LCD display can show the name of the artist and the title of the song being played.

Audio

This model is complete if you talk about audio functionality. It has a CD player, a USB port, an iPod dock, a radio tuner, and its sound quality will never fail you. For such a small device, a 40W output power is quite remarkable. It also has a subwoofer out for connecting to a subwoofer and creating even more amazing sound quality and resonance.

The radio has a digital tuning system which lets you save 30 preset stations for easy tuning in and auto scanning. The CD player is as good as it gets with the great sound quality, and almost all formats of CDs are compatible with it, including CD-R/RW, DVD-R/RW/R DV, and DVD+R/RW/R DL. From external music sources, it can play MP3 and WMA formatted tracks.

Other Features

The device has its own remote control for easy navigation so you wouldn’t have to stand up every now and then just to change the track number being played or adjust the volume. It’s also compatible with a separate set of speakers if you want to expand the sound scope of the set.

Conclusion

Even if it’s small, it’s a very useful and excellent sound-making machine. The Yamaha CRX-330BL Micro Component Receiver CD Player is one of the better models of micro component systems, but the only drawback might be the price. For me, though, every penny was worth it, with the satisfaction that I get from using it. It’s definitely a brilliant addition to the home entertainment system.

There are a lot of audio systems that you can buy in most stores and electronics shops, but have you ever found one that’s as excellent as the Panasonic SC-HC3 Ultra-Slim iPod Docking Speaker System? If you don’t know much about this model, then let me enlighten you about that.

Design

This is the first and most striking feature of this device. With its small and slim figure, you wouldn’t believe that it could produce such powerful sound. The speaker system is excellent in doing its job, but the design makes it even more functional and stylish. You can place it on any tabletop or desk, but it’s best on the TV rack along with the other electronics. The iPod dock and CD player has a sliding door which lets you hide the dock if you’re not using it, and easily push it away if you want to dock your iPod or iPhone in it.

It’s not a component, and it’s definitely not that bulky. It weighs only 6.6 pounds, easy enough to carry around and transfer from room to room. Its dimensions are 19.6” x 7.6” x 4”, very slim, very compact as compared to other high-quality stereo sets, and very fashionably thin which is a trend in most appliances nowadays.

Video

The LCD is a short one-line screen display that only shows the track number and time of length of the track being played. Other than that, it’s a very simple and not too much of a feature.

Audio

The total power of the speakers is 40W, a good output power for such a small device. It has five preset equalizer settings which include heavy for music with heavy instruments and strong basses, soft for more mellow tracks, vocal for a more humane sound, clear for a complete amplification of every audible aspect, and flat for simpler and less complicated resonance.

It has a digital tuner with excellent reception. You can save 30 FM and 15 AM stations as preset for easier scanning and tuning in. You can play most CD-R/RW and MP3 formatted tracks on the CD player. You can also use external audio sources through the AUX connection.

The speaker system has an extra D. Bass for better bass resonance, treble and bass control for excellent sound output.

Other Features

The device has its own time preset function both for sleep and play, so you can dictate what time it turn on and shuts off. The integrated universal iPod/iPhone dock allows you to play your favorite iTunes on this stereo system. It also has an auto off or dim function so you can leave it and not worry about it operating all day long. The remote control is also something you can’t miss and it makes navigating through the device easy and without need of any effort except for some finger-flicking. It’s also an Energy Star qualified device, so you’re actually doing Mother Nature a favor by buying this instead of other stereo speaker systems.

Conclusion

This is an excellent device – you don’t have to see it to know that. I myself am completely happy with my Panasonic SC-HC3 Ultra-Slim iPod Docking Speaker System. If you want a stylish, slim, multi-functional, and high-quality sound system in your living room, bedroom, dining room, kitchen, family room, or guest room, this is the perfect device that you can get, and for a very reasonable price as well.

Almost every household has an iPod, and every person wants to have one. If you’re a music lover just like me, you would also definitely love the Sharp CD-DH790N Mini Component System because it’s awesome, high-tech, stylish, and has an iPod dock which adds to its overall functionality. Why don’t we take a closer look at this device?

Design

Simple yet astounding – that’s how this component system got to me. It’s a nice black set of stereo and speakers with simple and intuitive buttons, and absolutely nothing to hide. I have to admit, though, dust easily makes the poised looks of this set less stunning, but I still think it looks awesome in any household. I have mine on top of the TV rack, and there’s no problem about that because it has a fully functional remote control, and you can do everything with it using the remote that you could do if you were actually pressing on the buttons and operating the device.

Video

The color fluorescent display shows basic information like the track number on the CD being played, name of artist, title of song, radio frequency, radio station name, and it also shows the time because the component also functions as a clock. It has a two-line text navigation that previews the information that can be displayed by the component.

Audio

The stereo system of this device is just excellent. Its output power is 100W + 100W, allowing you to make some noise for the entire neighborhood. It also has an X Bass or extra bass system that makes the music resonate from wall to wall. Listening to your favorite rock songs on this component makes your heart pound with every beat, and I love it especially when we have parties and social affairs at home. Its equalizer has twelve settings which you can adjust to the perfect settings that you desire.

The radio is digitally tuned with auto scanning for faster reception of clearer stations, and the reception is superb and almost static-free. It can save up to 20 FM and 20 AM stations as preset so you don’t have to memorize the frequencies of your favorite stations. All you have to do is select their channels and you can get the latest in the music industry through this brilliant machine.

You can play music easily from the CD, and it reads most CD-R/RW formats so you can play original records or burned discs from a PC. The two separate speakers make the sound spread farther across the room and bounce off on the walls, resonating from corner to corner, making the entire house a music machine. You’ll love it if you do activities with music, such as home aerobics or dances.

Other Features

The component has a built-in clock that gives you the option to check the time through the LCD display, and it also has a built-in sleep timer which lets you listen to your favorite songs while dozing off, not worrying about keeping it on all night long. It’s also compatible with USB flash drives where you can play MP3 songs and not need to burn them on a disc anymore. You can also enjoy private listening through a headphone jack.
