This is a very good boombox, nicely packaged, easy controls, and a natural display of its parts. The sound is better than expected for a boombox of this price, would have expected it to cost [more] at the local stores. The colors go so very nicely with my bedroom furniture, that it seems to have been made just for it. The CD player is very easy to use and its sound is just like being at the Music Concert Hall downtown. This lets me record directly into the cassette player and give them to my friends at school, who really like the quality of the recordings so far. Overall it is a great boombox with a digital tuner that makes listening to my favorite radio channels a breeze. Thanks Phillips for such a well designed item.
