Product Description

Audiovox's CE216 sports a "flat-panel" design, and packs two top-firing full-range speakers. This unit offers a basic feature set that includes a single-CD player, single-well cassette deck and an analog AM/FM tuner. The cassette deck offers a record function, which allows you to record CDs or from the radio. The CD player is programmable, and includes repeat playback. Track information is displayed on this unit's LCD. The CE216 operates on batteries, or it can be powered by an AC adapter.

Amazon.com Review

With its unique design, easy portability, and CD/cassette/radio features, the Audiovox CE216 flat-panel boombox is a great all-around boombox choice for people on the go. Sleek enough to fit almost anywhere, the CE216 provides solid sound quality and versatility, all at a price that won't break the bank.

Out of the box, the unit's flattened look first catches your attention: 5.7 inches high when laying flat (it can also be used in an upright position, which brings its height to 9.25 inches) and weighing in at a mere 4.8 pounds, this unit is a suitable companion for travel and activities such as a long road trip, a picnic in the park, or simply a trip between the kitchen and the living room. Its basic features are also very easy to control, rounding out the CE216's convenience factor.

The CD player features programming options that allow you to make your own track arrangements, repeat modes that let you repeat a track, a program of tracks or an entire disc, and a handy little feature called CD intro scan, which lets you sample the first few seconds of each track on a compact disc. CDs are easy to load and unload through the nonlocking manual port, which, in addition to being easy to manipulate, is constructed of clear plastic for convenient viewing of loaded CDs. The large LED shows track numbers and programming information clearly, while the function keys allow for skipping back and forth between tracks (although it should be noted that fast-forward and reverse within a track is not a provided option).

The cassette player lets you play and record cassettes from the CD player or radio and features an auto stop, which turns off the unit once a tape is finished--perfect for falling asleep to your favorite cassette.

The audio components are what one would expect from a unit in this price range. A 1-bit digital-to-analog converter improves small signal linearity to provide pure reproduction of the original sound recorded on a CD, and 8x oversampling combines phase linearity with suppression of digital noise, resulting in better and more natural sound and imaging. However, despite these features, the unit falls short in overall sound quality in the areas of bass performance (no bass boost) and speaker quality. Another weak point we discovered comes while listening at low levels--a whining can be heard from the CD mechanism.

Overall, we found the Audiovox CE216 to be a user-friendly, easy-to-live-with unit that provides all the basics necessary for audio enjoyment. Whether you're in a dorm room, office, kitchen, or garage, this boombox will bring you hours of listening and recording fun without getting in the way. And for people on a relatively low home entertainment budget, it could very well be the only audio unit required.

Audiovox Boombox.......2001-12-05

I received the above-mentioned radio about 5-7 days after I ordered it. ...I am very happy with it. The sound is decent. I am using it for a small den room. Good purchase for a economical boombox that is not big and shaped differently. It lays down on its side.

Lousy sound! Doesn't function in "upright" position........2001-10-18

I ordered this because of the "flat panel" design. Little did I know that you have to lay it flat to operate it. Defeats the purpose! Then, to add insult to injury, the sound that emerged from the speakers was tinny ... sounded like a cheap kid's MONO cassette player ... not a stereo boom box! The controls are user-UNfriendly, too. ...

great for awhile.......2001-10-01

I loved this cd player (except for the shape) for about 5 months. I got it for Christmas from my grandma, then, in May i was taking it out of the car and the cd cover comes right off, i was almost in tears i loved it so much. Now, the cd player doesn't work and its just sitting there. I think the top of the cd player part was filmsy from the beginning and then getting pulled from the car just pulled it right off. I still have to get a new one. Other than the filmsy lid, the cd player is great.

I send my prayers to all those whose lost someone in the attack on the Pentagon and the Twin Towers.

toaster-head stereo.......2000-10-22

It has a bad shape but it's different from the standard and very plain and boring rectangle of past stereos. The upside of it all is that you can take it almost anywhere but it get's dirty very fast. The best feartures of this product is that you can play cd's and cassette too! The great part of this machine is that if you didn't bring any cd's or cassette you can listen to the am/fm radio. It's a great little machine and made by a good name brand(vox or AudioVox who also make amps for guitars and bass) And the price is the best thing about it cause I don't have that much money to spend, so it's a real money saver!

Horrible Customer Care.......2007-07-26

I purchased this tv new less than 7 months ago, the tv sensor went out and while they were very nice on the phone and sent me a new remote to make sure that wasnt the problem when it was determined that the SENSOR is the problem I was told the part is covered but the labor is not.. Pretty standard. But when I found out that the labor to FIX the TV was more than I paid for it I was fuming. Plus I had to take the TV to the nearest repair center, again pretty standard. What is infuriating to me is that Magnavox does not allow you a way other than calling and then you only get the same pat answers. You cannot file a complaint with this company to let them know of any issues and I am seeing this all over the internet with Phillips/Magnavox. So buyer beware. If you can afford to throw away a couple hundred dollars a year then I guess its an ok buy, but dont expect the tv to last.

A Good Value and Very Satisfactory Performance.......2007-06-07

This is my second tv of this model,and has lasted me almost 1 year as of this month, without any problems. My first set lasted about 8 months and the tuner went out, but when I purchase the set, I also made a purchase of about $20 to extend the warranty time, and I was refunded my purchase price in full. (These sets are replaced and not repaired because it is less expensive for the manufacturer.) This set may not be digitally ready for 2009 so you may need to take that into consideration if purchasing. The FCC will provide up to two coupons worth $40 each toward a coverter box if your tuner/and or set is analog. I purchased this tv at a Sears Outlet Store for $105.00. You may also want to check the status of manufacture of this tv currently. Now about the features: You have your choice of voice, personal, music and theater selections when selecting the sound you desire. Since this unit accepts stereo headphones, the choices make a significant difference when listening to DVDs or videocassettes. Picture quality is also impressive. You also have your choice of 3 or 4 picture hues: normal, cool,sports, and one other. With good audio headphones, you really appreciate the audio portion of this tv when watching and listening to, for example, a dvd such as "Fever: the music of Peggy Lee" the musical "Oklahoma" or for more contemeporary viewers, "Good Night and Good Luck", the docudrama about Edward R. Morrow. Be prepared many times to switch back to "voice" or "personal" position as the broadcast bass sound is overwelming on commercials soundtracks and other sound mixes. (Why we have to have so much booming bass is beyond me.) Another feature is just listening to your cds thru you dvd player on this tv model. Very impressive. Picture quality is also very good when playing dvds. All in all, I believe this tv really deserves 4 and 1/2 stars. (By the way, in checking over my review I noticed some overly long running sentences in my critique. Well, at least I caught them before the English teacher did!)

Terrible and cheap.......2007-01-02

This was my television at school. I used it occasionally to watch TV and movies. Then my cable went out (or so I thought)..I had the cable guy come in and he informed me it wasn't my cable but rather, my tv. When you inserted the cable, the buttons in the front popped out. We tested my cable on another tv, and it wasn't the cable.

This is incredibly cheap tv that is sadly, made cheaply as well. It stopped working after 4 months and I was without a tv.

A decent deal if you can compromise.......2006-04-12

We bought this television because our 12-channel vintage TV and our 13-inch TV/VCR simply were awful for entertaining. Of course 20 inches doesn't impress any of our guests, but at least they can see the picture.

For $88 at Target we simply couldn't pass this up. The picture is fine, though nothing like an LCD. But if you're reading this I doubt you're looking for fabulous quality.

So far it's holding up just fine and I love watching the Food Network on it. One problem: there's no AV hookup in the back of the TV. Odd, I think. There is one on the front so it's perfect for video games. We hooked up our Playstation 2 to it to play movies.

If you buy this you'll simply have to get used to the wires popping out of the front of the TV. Other than that, it was a great deal.
