Product Description

Amazon.com Review

In the RC-QN1 compact portable CD boombox, JVC fuses ease of use with good sound and particularly stylish appearance to deliver one of the best portable-music bargains around.

The RC-QN1 includes a CD player, cassette deck, and tuner that you can turn on with the touch of a button on the remote using JVC's Compu Play feature. For tonal variety, the unit offers three equalizer presets to choose from, not counting "flat" (no equalizer): Clear, Pop, and Beat. We preferred the Beat preset, even on classical music, as this setting offered the fullest bass response. Placing the RC-QN1 against a wall increased the bass, but keep in mind that this positioning can produce "boomy" or muddy sound depending on the player or speaker.

The RC-QN1's ergonomic design allows easy insertion and removal of CDs. The tuner conveniently determines its 15 FM and 15 AM memory settings through a brisk walk up the radio dial, pausing to record the strongest stations. Unfortunately, accessing those presets is not as convenient as you have to skip all the way to 15 just to get to the last station--even with the remote.

The RC-QN1 played louder than anticipated and without distortion or undue compression, rounding out our high opinion of its sound-to-dollar ratio.

Pros:

Plays well at high volume
Stylish appearance
Easy to load and remove CDs

Cons:

Tuner presets inconvenient to access

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good quality for the price., November 12, 1999

By A Customer

I was looking for a portable CD/tape player for a gift and at this price, I could afford to be generous. I was concerned about the white/blue/black casing, but when I opened the box, I thought the unit was quite attractive and much better looking than in the picture. I have a JVC boombox and expected this portable would have slow, smooth opening CD and tape doors and not the "pop" opening quality of other portables; I was not disappointed. There isn't much you can do on a portable without an equalizer, but the multiple sound settings (beat/pop/clear/flat) did improve the sound quality. The sound was adequate for a bedroom. The delivery was also excellent: I ordered this JVC boombox on Friday and it was delivered by Tuesday a.m. I would recommend this unit.

5.0 out of 5 stars ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS, I LOVE IT!!!!, October 22, 1999

By	Mary C. Ross (New York City) - See all my reviews

I bought this boombox for my office, which is a cubicle and only partially closed in. The sound is SO CLEAR, that I can get a GREAT sound quality at a low volume, and it doesn't disturb anyone else in the office. The jazz, the classical, the hip-hop and the gospel music all sound fantastic!! I am very pleased with this product, I am going to purchase another one just like it for my home. And the price is even more fantastic!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent product at a bargain price!!!, August 12, 1999

By A Customer

I am not a technical person when it comes to audio electronics, but this boombox well exceeded even my husband's expectations. It has a sleep timer, remote control and lots of features. The sound is great and how often do you find a CD player, cassette and AM/FM radio? Not often. Everyone who has seen and heard it can't believe the price and they all want to know how they can order one, and I tell them AMAZON.COM!!!

After much research, I was convinced that I wanted to buy the Phillips AZ-2000 until I realized it had an analog tuner whereas the JVC had a digital one for a lesser price. Read more
