Description:
With its trendy cubist look, durable construction, and great sound, the Sony CFDG50 CD/radio/cassette player is a pleasure to listen to. If you're looking for a relatively inexpensive yet well-made and functional boombox with a lot of bass kick, look no further. In our tests, this CD radio cassette recorder performed very well. The Digital Bass Boost System does a great job of kicking the bass frequencies up a bit, and it can be switched to remain active at all times. The speakers provide a full, deep sound, performing well at high volumes. Sony's CFD-G50 is distinguished by a front-firing Power Drive Woofer. This subwoofer, an uncommon feature in a boombox, is driven by a separate amplifier, which bumps the unit's total output to 20 watts. In our tests, we really heard the "boom" in this boombox as the Power Drive Woofer provided a dynamic, powerful sound when combined with the Mega Bass sound system. The overall sound of this model is truly exceptional for a portable stereo system. The single-disc CD player offers a 20-track memory for programming. This boombox provides drift-free digital AM/FM tuning with 30 station presets. The single-well cassette deck is fairly skimpy; it's capable of regular-speed dubbing from CD or radio, and CD synchro recording, but has mechanical keys rather than soft-touch controls. The four equalization modes allow for manual tonal balance and minor sound adjustments. This model also provides a basic remote control for CD and AM/FM tuning. --Sean McDonald Pros: - Well constructed
