Product Description

Philips AZ2025 is a CD Sound machine with two-way Bass reflex speaker system that provides higher musical clarity and enhanced stereo sound quality. The Incredible surround feature is unique to Philips, and it creates the illusion of the speakers being much further apart than they actually are, resulting in an enhanced, room-filled stereo effect. The Ultra High Clarity offers lucid, crisp sound at the high end of the frequency range when switched on. Digital DBB+ is an active, electronic calibration that allows full-bodied, powerful bass boost at all volume levels. The digital tuner with 30 presets provides fast, accurate tuning to your favorite stations. You can store up to 30 FM and MW stations in memory for fast, easy access. The AZ2025 also features Jog control, 14-key remote control, and 2 Color LCD with Demo mode.

5.0 out of 5 stars BOOM BOOM BOOM, November 30, 2000

By	R. de La Fuente "The Flipper" (Santa Barbara, CA< USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

What a sound this boombox makes. Especially if you first listen to any other boombox in any shop and than turn on this awesome piece. A very impressive bass and still high clarity for voice.

If you like this agressive design, you will not be disappointed by the aggressive sound. Hear, hear Philips, good job, the best sound in this price category.

3.0 out of 5 stars A good boom box with problems, April 21, 2001

By	"pickyone" (Berkeley, CA) - See all my reviews

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Portable piledriver! Way cool sound for the bucks!, January 26, 2001

By	Michael Schelb (Boca Raton, FL United States) - See all my reviews

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!
