Summary: Nice sound
Review: I like the sound of this boombox -- nice bass and treble. I did have to exchange the first one I received because the CD lid broke after I'd opened and closed it about 3 times. I'm hoping the replacement holds up better. The remote is handy and has all the functions I need except the ability to turn the machine on and off and to switch between functions (e.g., between radio and cd). The display is hard to read in low light so you either need to memorize the buttons or turn a light on in order to operate it at night.

Summary: Portable piledriver! Way cool sound for the bucks!
Review: I listened to about 20 different boxes in the $... to $... range - from Sony, JVC, Audiophase and others.... NOTHING sounds like this Philips. Activate the dynamic bass boost, the added clarity and surround feature and let it rip! I tested this mini monster with Karma To Burn, Metallica S&M and Rammstein - SOLD! Clear highs, quick bass, and even a little "soundstage" image. I don't use the cassette, but the FM and the CD work well - even with "home-brewed" CD-Rs. Cool enough sound and looks to fit in any room short of an arena!

Summary: Awesome Box--Why discontinued?!
Review: I punished my boombox for well over two years, strapping it in the right seat of my city tractor--very rough ride--and also in my linehaul rig running twelve hour days dragging triples up and down Interstate 5. I think I finally wasted one channel of the amp, or perhaps broke a connection. I've lost one speaker. I constantly ran the volume wide open with the bass boost on it's second setting with no distortion, so I wasn't worried about frying the amp, but perhaps I did anyhow? I was very pleased with the sound quality. Sony and other manufacturers in the same pricepoint market couldn't hold a candle to my Phillips. Now I've got to find a new model. . .

Summary: disapointed
Review: I purchased this item mid March, after 6-weeks of limited use in my office, the CD lid broke and CD player capabilities stopped. I am very disapointed! I would not reccoment this unit as this seems to be a common problem.

Summary: Best Bang For Your Buck
Review: I was looking for a CD player for my place of work. First I bought another Mini-Stero System with a five CD turntable because I thought it would be cool. Listened to it at work and was very disappointed by the sound. I then saw the Philips AZ202517,listened to it at work and is much better than the other system I first bought plus this one is the same price as the first. I would recommend this CD Radio Cassette Recorder to anyone. IT TOTALLY ROCKS!!!!!

Summary: This boom box rocks!
Review: My dad got me this boom box and it's totally great! I play all my favorite song on it because you can listen to the radio, play cds, tapes, whatever! You can record CD to tape and that's how I get all of my Weird Al music from my friend next door. Only thing I don't like about it is that it doesn't have a microphone so you can't record into it.

Summary: It's not a boombox-it's a Philips
Review: The AZ 2025 is a great portable music system. It gives a deep contrabass. Amazing sound quality for such a compact system. The stereo imaging is accurate. When I switched this unit on for the first time, I was amazed by its great sound quality. This is a great music system for its price. A truly great value for money.

Summary: A good boom box with problems
Review: This "boom box" has a very nice sound for the money. The bass is deep and rich and the treble is well defined without being tinny. Whether the unit will pack enough punch to satisfy hard core rap enthusiasts is open to debate. The radio picks up weak stations with ease. It is perfect for my office On the minus side, the digital display is not illuminated and is extremely difficult to read in any light. The unit's remote control is a very cheesy affair, giving you only the barest minimum control over the unit's basic functions. You can't even turn the power on or off with the remote. What's up with that? Finally, the footprint of this unit is huge. Make sure you clear out a few feet of space for this baby.

Summary: Great sound
Review: This is a good buy, great sound, the remote has very limited capabilities. You can't turn system on/off or switch between tape/CD/radio using remote. We use it in our exercise room, great for switching between radio stations while working out.
