JVC RC-EZ35 Portable Boombox with CD Player, Cassette Deck, and AM/FM Tuner

There are only a few portable cassette players available on the market, since everything is going
to MP-3. This JVC boom box accomodates the latest digital formats, but, luckily for me, it also
plays the old style analog cassettes. I have an extensive collection of over 200 cassettes
purchased in the 1980s for my auto cassette player. Without this unit they would be useless.

My new auto plays CDs, but not cassettes. With so many titles that I still enjoy on cassettes,
the JVC boom box is a useful product and I am grateful it is available. I avoided Sony boom boxes
because of so many negative buyer reviews of their mechanical features: CDs not read, cassette
motor failures, etc. Without considering Sony, that leaves this market segment to JVC.

It seems that Sony is slipping in quality control. I bought JVC because of prior product ownership
and the company's reputation for quality. Also, for years JVC was one of the best names in sound
recordings. I still have JVC vinyl records that I enjoy listening to, after 50 years in my collection.

At first I thought that this was a great little boombox. I really liked the MP3 playback and mp3 song name display. Then after about 2 days of playing CDs and/or MP3s, they would no longer play. I'd put in a CD and the display would read "no disc" even though I tried many different discs. I was very disappointed with the product. Good thing Amazon is so great with accepting returns!

I gave this as a gift less than a month ago. It's said to be working fine. Speakers are not as powerful as more expensive models, but it seems to be a good product for the price. Very easy to operate.

This Boombox is exactly what we had hoped that it would be,we especially like the remote feature.

I had this unit for almost a year now and love it and is simply the Best unit if you want one that plays MP3 cds and simply blows away the completion I also like the remote and power cord fits inside the unit battery compartment (with out batteries of course) the sound is not to loud but acceptable and sound quality is good.

there does seem by this page there is some quality control issues with this unit but again it sold very well and often it true that for every one bad review there a thousand good reviews that never get written but that why you should buy it from a reputable company such as Amazon that has very good customer service and return policy
