Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Compact and affordable, the JVC RC-EZ31 boombox is a great fit for tailgaters, picnics, parties, and a host of other activities. The device is outfitted with a stylish black housing that holds a CD player, cassette deck, AM/FM radio, and a pair of full-range speakers. The chassis looks good and holds up durably to outdoor use, but also fits effortlessly in a bedroom or office setting. Users will groove to the unit's solid range of compatible listening formats, which includes audiocassettes, CDs, and self-made CD-R and CD-RW discs. And should listeners want to enjoy a DJ's playlist or NPR program, they can turn to the analog AM/FM tuner, which includes 10 FM and 10 AM presets for easy and quick station access.

The boombox also offers a number of essential CD functions, including 20-track programming, random 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. Other features include a backlit LCD display, a headphone jack for private listening, and a full-function remote control that operates the unit from a distance.

Appropriately for a portable player, the boombox offers a fold-down carrying handle for easy transport. The device also carries a one-year warranty on parts and a 90-day warranty on labor.

This boombox does what I wanted: I can copy CDs onto blank cassette tapes so that I can easily play them in my car (no cd player in my older car!). Also able to play from my large collection of aging tapes--hate to have all those goldie-oldies unavailable to me. The sound quality is good and all buttons user-friendly. I can also play CDs that I have created on it without problems. The copy says it ships "from Amazon" but it arrived in a rather beat-up flimsy plain brown box. It was protected with air bags and was OK, but the packaging could have been a little stronger.

I ordered this boombox based on the reviews listed here. It arrived in its original box that was all beat up and had two holes in it and only one side of the box was taped. I knew when I opened the box the CD player would be damaged, but was surprised it wasn't. Then I played a CD and was terribly disappointed in the quality of the sound. It has absolutely no bass. I compared it to another CD player I have and there was no comparison. The speakers just have no bass at all. After listening to the cd player for 5 minutes or so I had to turn it off, because I just couldn't stand the tinny noise. This is the first time I have returned anything to Amazon and the whole process went well.

I replaced a Sony Portable in an office tower where I work on the 38th floor. The Sony's receptionw as so bad that it was difficult to hear anything.

I was pleasantly surprised to get this JVC in. The sound is remarkable. I listen to talk radio in the morning and can actually hear everything being said even at low volume levels.

Although the tuner and volume is analog the dialing and reception pick up makes you forget that almost immediately. The only fault I found is the AM / FM selection switch. It has 3 postitions and you would guess that since the top is AM the bottom would be FM, especially since it seems to line up better on the bottom selection, but alas it is the middle position that actually sets it to FM.

I would recommend this radio.
