Summary: Lots of bang for your buck!
Review: A great product! It has nice features and the sound is terrific, especially the bass. I'm amazed to find such great quality for the price. I have several other Philips products (2 televisions and a DVD player) and I've always been satisfied.

Summary: CHALK UP ANOTHER ONE FOR PHILIPS
Review: I bought this Boom Box and the only problem I found is that the place where the CD goes don't have enough room for your fingers so you can pick up your CD by the edges and not toughing the sides. Other then that this thing is really good for your money. So chalk up another one for Philips, a very good product.

Review: I was very impressed with the sound that this unit produced. It has a bass reflex system, which results in a fuller sound. It is very easy to use and again the sound it produces is very good. It is small and light and can easily fit in the corner of your desk or cubicle.

There are a few things that I wish were better, though I have to consider the price and that it does put out very good sound. Loading and unloading a CD can be hazardous if you are not careful because the compartment is tight (there is little room to maneuver the CD). The chances of scratching a CD is higher than normal in my opinion. I wish that the CD mode (repeat, repeat all, etc.) would be stored so you don't have to set it every time you play a CD. After all, if I am at work and I put a CD in the unit to play, then chances are I want it to repeat until I stop it. I shouldn't have to set the mode to repeat all each time I put a CD in or even play the same CD after stopping it.

Overall, I think this is a very good unit for your office, den, or bedroom and I do recommend it. I am very pleased with it and glad that I purchased it.

Review: This is an excellent boom box for the price. It does everything well and the sound quality is great. The dynamic bass boost is exceptional- the sound is very deep and clear whether you're playing the radio, tape, or a CD. Radio reception is also very good and it's great at rejecting interference from strong stations. The tuner is so selective, especially on FM, that some close stations come in as clearly as in a car. I previously had a Sanyo boombox and liked it, but I wanted to upgrade to something better, and when I heard this one I had to buy it. The only thing that is strange is that there's no window on the tape deck and the CD player shows only the track number, not the time. But I've noticed that many other boom boxes in this price range are the same way. Overall this is an excellent boom box. It's the first Philips product I have purchased, and I'm sure it won't be the last. I would highly recommend it to anyone who's looking for a great-sounding boom box and doesn't want to spend a lot.
