JVC RCEZ35 Portable Boom Box with MP3 Playback and Remote

Compact and affordable, the JVC RC-EZ35 boombox is a great fit for tailgaters, picnics, parties, and other occasions when a full-size stereo just won't do. The device is outfitted with a stylish 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 on-the-go 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, CD-R/RW discs, and MP3s (on CD-R/RW). And should listeners want to enjoy a DJ's playlist or NPR program, they can turn to the digital AM/FM tuner, which includes 20 FM and 10 AM presets for quick and easy station access.

The boombox also offers a number of essential CD functions, including 40-track programming, random and repeat play, intro scan, 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 3.56-inch speakers, but also its 1-bit digital-to-analog converter, which ensures a crisp, clean signal. Other features include JVC's Hyper-Bass sound system for improved low-frequency performance, five preset equalizer patterns to ensure a diverse sound, a two-line backlit LCD display, ID3 tagging (shows MP3 title and artist information on the 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 runs on either batteries or AC power and 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.
