Philips Azb600/12 Audio Portable Cd Radio Recorder, Dynamic Bass Boost, Silver

I needed a good stereo sound.

At moment seems work well mainly use dab for country music station. But has cd & tape.

It's great value & portable enough to use it wherever you go 👍.

Bought this in good faith as we had a Philips Clock Radio for 30 years after we got married!! This Philips is not good quality and failed on several points.The case is flimsy and wouldn’t stand any hard use at all. The controls are all over the place and not obvious or logical to use. The main reason for buying this machine was that it had all the functions on it that I wanted – in one box. However the DAB radio refused to settle on any stations on the ground floor of my house in East Yorkshire, despite it being alongside another DAB radio that we have in the kitchen. It also refused to lock on to any DAB stations when sitting alongside another DAB radio in the bathroom. It finally accepted some stations when in the position that I mainly wanted to use it at my bedside, until after about 20 minutes of use it started to fade and then BBC Radio 4 disappeared altogether.The CD player was also faulty – creating a gap between each track with a noticeable disturbing ‘CLICK’ – very off-putting. The sound quality is not brilliant either, certainly not what would expect from a Philips at this price.I was also very cross to realise that to return the player has cost me money – something that I object to doing - as the machine is just not up to spec, and for me – a complete waste of money. May I suggest that Valutech Ltd., who supply the machine, have a rethink as it is plainly a sub standard item they are supplying.

Very difficult to understand tuning of radio.No earphone socket. Never even thought to check on that before I bought it. Who would think that they'd make a machine without a earphone socket in this day and age?

Disappointing sound quality, seems to be the only audio device I’ve purchased that doesn’t have a headphone socket.Expected better from Philips.

One snag, no on or off button, but I believe it will go off on it's own when not used after a certain time. Otherwise it's smashing. Nice sound. I had a Phillips previously and it lasted about ten years. Also a good price.

We bought this for an elderly couple who love it. Our choice was guided by which CD player did everything they wanted and had a 3pin plug attached. This meets all the criteria and they find it easy to use and comment how good the sound is.Success.
