Product Description

From the Manufacturer

This portable CD player provides uncompressed superb digital sound quality. Powersaving ESP3 technology extends playing time to 20 hours with two regular AA alkaline batteries (ESP on). ESP3 also protects against vertical and horizontal shocks for stable playback. The system automatically stores 45 seconds of music to prevent music interruptions caused by shocks. Unique composite material enables the CD player to withstand very high temperatures for in-car use. Advanced digital conversion technology ensures crystal-clear sound. Hold function locks all buttons electronically to prevent interruption of play or change of program settings. Resume ensures the CD starts precisely from the point it was stopped. CD music search searches the CD at high speed while still producing low-volume sound so you know exactly when to stop. Car cassette adapter enables play in cassette deck of car. Acoustic feedback confirms any key-push with friendly beep to acknowledges that a command has been given.

4.0 out of 5 stars Product - Value, September 27, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Philips AZ9213 Personal CD Player (Electronics)

Great CD Player. If you are looking for an alternative to G-Protection by Sony, this is it. With 45 seconds ESP (the third generation of it's kind). You will pay $... or more (almost 4 CD's of your favorites) for the same functions and a remote on the headphones (lazy people who can't look at their machine).

Features: It reads CD-RW, Standar 1 bit digital to analog converter, Digital dynamic bass boost, standard programming (Intro scan, Shuffle play, Repeat 1, all, program, shuffle, scan), resume and hold.

On the cons: every machine of this kind needs a carrying case if they want to be call a portable.

1.0 out of 5 stars MP3?, January 31, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Philips AZ9213 Personal CD Player (Electronics)

I was informed in the Technical Information that This Product could so read MP3's. I have so far burned and ruined alot of cd's because of this. I kept trying to change things to get the player to read them. The PHILLIP's cd player is not MP3 compatible. I was told by Amazon.com that It was indeed MP3 compatible. Therefor I do not recommend this cd player if you think it plays MP3's. Otherwise the cd player is great but the volume is not so great.

The manual does not mention anything about requirements for burning MP3 CDs so the player can read them. Perhaps the technical specifications for directory structure and file naming conventions are assumed to be common knowledge or self intuitive. I doubt anyone could guess which bitrates are supported. No indication of media requirements either. Will a "data" CD with music burned to it in audio format work? (It does) My research led me to Philips' customer care line (1.800.531.0039), where I was politely informed (in Ebonics) that MP3 compatibility is not listed as an included feature on this or any AZ model. It says MP3 compatible right on the package. Is this a case of false advertisement?
