Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

This 50-watts-per-channel stereo will enliven an office, bedroom, dormitory, or living room. Listen to favorite MP3 CDs, audio CDs, radio stations, and cassette tapes in comfort with the included full-function remote control. The system's five-disc CD changer lets you enjoy an endless variety of music without interruption, and you can create a different listening experience by randomly playing tracks from one or multiple CDs. Play exchange lets four CDs be loaded while one plays.

The RS2605 supports multiple MP3 compression rates and offers folder navigation and MusicMatch music-management software. The system's digital FM-AM stereo is outfitted with 32 station presets, and the unit automatically scans the FM band and sets presets to the best tunable stations. The dual-well cassette offers continuous play (deck A to deck B), one-touch recording, automatic tape shutoff, and automatic level control for making distortion-free copies from CD and radio.

Auxiliary input and output foster hookups with ancillary gear like a VCR, DVD player, or CD recorder. RCA used Kevlar materials in the RS2605's speaker cones to ensure clear, crisp sound while minimizing distortion. Assigned equalization curves let you adjust the sound to your preference (choose from classic, jazz, rock, and pop settings), and bass boost heightens the impact of low frequencies. Other features include CD repeat play, X-Surround (which uses advanced digital technology to simulate surround sound from the main speakers), four-level display dimming, and intro scan. Clock, sleep, and alarm functions add to the system's uses. You can wake to a favorite CD, radio station, or cassette tape, and set the sleep alarm for up to 120 minutes.

5.0 out of 5 stars After careful consideration,, November 24, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: RCA RS2605 5-CD Executive Microsystem (Electronics)
I bought this unit because a reviewer on another site said that MP3 discs played well. It is certainly the case. A Sony unit I bought last year skips quite a lot on the same MP3 Discs that play perfectly well on this guy. (I thought that the discs were the problem.). I have many discs and on random there can be more than 50 hours of music in one load up.(160 Mb bit rate discs have around 10 hours. I added a Switch box plugged into the Aux. input so my DVD, VCR and Computer Audio all can be heard loud and clear thru this unit. It sounds really good. Especially considering the price. We'll see how it holds up thru time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Biggest bang for the buck!, April 14, 2003
This review is from: RCA RS2605 5-CD Executive Microsystem (Electronics)
I tested many systems before I finally decided on this one. My budget was [modest]at the time. I was looking for a low-priced, multi-featured stereo that can play MP3s. It came down to this one and [another] one. I chose this stereo because it held 2 more CDs and had extra ports on the back. It took me less than 10 minutes to set it up, including connecting my DVD player's audio output to it. The sound is excellent from all sources: DVD, VHS, CD and MP3. With the extra 2 speaker ports, I can easily upgrade the system to have surround sound. Instead of wasting development on fancy displays like a slot machine, RCA made a clean display that does not include a bunch of garbage. It even does better on displaying MP3 names than my DVD player. I have read the other reviews and I believe users are having issues with shipping (the system being banged around or something). I bought mine at a retail outlet and have not had a single problem! I recommend you purchase this system over any other in its price range.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great buy!, May 27, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: RCA RS2605 5-CD Executive Microsystem (Electronics)
I've been searching for a microsystem for my bedroom for quite some time now, and after analyzing the options this system provides - mp3, remote control, 100W power - I decided to buy it.

From all its capability, the only function I haven't tested yet was playing mp3 discs, since I did not install yet the MusicMatch Jukebox software that came with it. I plan on testing it this weekend, and I'm sure it will work great, like all the other features.

The only drawback I have with this microsystem is that it's not that micro. I had trouble fitting it in a bookshelf I had in my room and had to put the speakers in a different shelf. But that's due to the 5 CD exchanger, which won't allow for a thinner main module.

If you have space, go ahead and buy it. You won't regret it. I didn't.
