JVC Boombox w/CD Player
Rating: 5/5 2008-09-04
This JVC Boombox w/CD Player is a wonderful portable boombox. It is easy to operate and the acoustic sound is great too. I purchased two of these as donations to two different prisons for their use in Christian meetings that we attend with them, and I have not been sorry or disappointed in any way with the performance of this product.
Great product for the bit Older Generation

I'm from the generation of Cassette Tapes and Vinyl Records. I searched every store in 20 miles from home and not one store carried a portable unit that gave me the best of both worlds. This unit has great sound and is the perfect size. I just can get over the little remote.
Thank's Amazon.com for looking out for the mature adults.
not bad at all

It works adequately well and serves its purpose given its price and size. It may not be the best sound you ever heard from a boombox, but it isnt the worst either. Some features are lacking like the bass-treble controls. It doesnt look quite as fancy as the picture portrays; it's more plastic looking.
However, as long as I've had it which is about several months, it's worked just fine, plays good & I havent had any major complaints.
Good for smaller space

I am writing to recommend the JVC Boombox that I purchased recently. This is a nice little boombox that works well in the bedroom where I intended to use it. When I initially took it out of the box, I plugged in to an outlet in a large room with a high ceiling. In there, it sounded tinny and not very pleasant. There is no adjustment for treble or bass sound which is disappointing. The boombox is easy to operate.

The only problem I have is that I sometimes have problems getting the lid on the cd compartment to stay closed. Overall, it is a nice looking unit and works well, given the price.

Amazon.com Product Description
Compact and affordable, the JVC RC-EX16B portable boombox is a great choice for tailgaters, camping trips, picnics, and a host of other activities. The device is outfitted with a stylish black housing that holds a CD player, cassette deck, AM/FM tuner, and a pair of 3.56-inch full-range speakers. The chassis looks good and holds up durably to outdoor use, but also fits effortlessly indoors in a bedroom or office setting. Users will groove to the unit's solid range of compatible listening formats, which includes audiocassettes, CDs, CD-Rs, and CD-RWs. And should listeners tire of prerecorded music, they can turn to the digital AM/FM tuner and enjoy their favorite NPR program or sports talk host.

In addition to its sleek housing and solid compatibility, the boombox offers a number of essential CD functions, including 20-track programming, random and repeat play, and CD synchro-start recording, which coordinates the first few seconds of CD playback with the cassette deck's record button. The system's solid audio performance stems not just from its quality speakers (with 2-watt-per-channel output), but also its 1-bit digital-to-analog converter, which ensures a crisp, clean signal, and add-ons such as a Hyper-Bass sound system that pumps up the low-end frequencies. The unit even includes a full-function remote control that operates the system from a distance.

Appropriately for a portable player, the boombox runs on six "D" batteries and includes a fold-down carrying handle for easy transport. The device also carries a one-year warranty on parts and labor.
