Boston Acoustics Recepter Radio AM/FM clock radio with dual alarms White

Product Description

The Boston Acoustics Recepter Radio's surprising performance is made possible by Boston Acoustics' years of experience in designing and manufacturing high-performance audio equipment. The key to the Radio's sound is its Boston designed wide-range driver. Optimized specifically for the Radio, it's combined with an actively equalized amplifier that uses proprietary Boston BassTrac circuitry for full, satisfying bass even at low volume. The result is a unit that delivers smooth, natural response and room-filling sound that belies its small size. This outstanding audio performance is coupled with a highly sensitive AM/FM tuner with a 20 preset-station memory for clear, distortion-free reception. The Radio also has two independent wake-up alarms. Either alarm can be set to music, buzzer, or both. A large, easy-to-read LCD display clearly presents the station, clock, and alarm/sleep status, while a built-in sleep function lets the Radio play for up to 60 minutes before turning off automatically.The Radio is easy to use and set: times and stations can be quickly selected by turning a knob rather than repeatedly pressing buttons. And once you have stored your favorite stations in memory, the tuning knob can be set to tune in only those stations.

Pretty good.......2007-08-10

A little heavy on the bass (which is not adjustable) but a good option for a small space or an area where you don't want a lot of bright LEDs. The controls are intuitive and the design works very well in our kitchen.

THIS is how a clock-radio should be!.......2007-04-23

I bought this primarily as an alarm-clock-radio, so sound quality was not my main concern. So why did I shell out a hundred bucks for an alarm clock?
- It has a proper user interface! To set the alarm I press one button and turn one knob (has acceleration) to choose the time. Period!
- When it wakes me in the morning and I don't feel like getting up, which seems to be most of the time, snooze is ten minutes, much better than the usual 7, and pressing snooze multiple times adds 5 minutes per press so I can really sleep in!
- The sound quality is excellent. I hesitated before buying because many reviewers complained about too-heavy bass, or bass distorting male voices. It sounds alright to me. If you do find the bass too strong plugging the bass reflex hole on the back reduces bass noticeably.
- The display has just the right brightness on the lower setting. Viewing angles are excellent.
- Auxiliary input is good to have in case I need it one day.
- Dual alarms useful for couples or if you need waking from your afternoon nap.
- Rarely used buttons are hidden under a flap.
- I believe the clock problems mentioned by early reviewers have been resolved.
- No battery required for battery backup, but see major flaw below...
Downsides:
- In case of power failure an internal battery keeps the time and your settings, BUT THE ALARM WILL NOT SOUND. Can you say "missed flight"? NOT GOOD.
- High price.
- The snooze button should be larger and placed closer to the front.
- Large size.
This is definitely a 5-star product, but the battery backup flaw forces me to give only four.

A marvel of ergonomic design, but ..........2007-01-10

This is a beautifully designed radio with well-thought-out, intuitive controls. It is a pleasure to look at and to use. However, its boomy, unnatural bass range is a disappointment in a relatively high-end radio. At this price point, surely one might expect, if not accurate bass sound, at least a tone control. We might well have returned this had we not read a reviewer's suggestion to stuff the port with cotton, which reduced the boom to a tolerable level.

Excellent bedside radio.......2006-11-25

We had been looking for a radio for our bedroom for a while. Our pervious radio had difficulty receiving AM radio broadcasts. I prefer to awaken to talk radio rather than music so AM reception was a big issue. We had purchased s couple of brand named radios and none could pick up the AM station we listened to. I finally purchased the BA Recepter and was amazed that it locked onto the AM station immediately and never faltered.....even in the late evening hours when many stations reduce power.

The sound of this radio is very pleasing. The talk stations are pleasant and very clear. Music from this radio is very nice too. The bass is ample and the sound is very full and musical. The controls are very easy to use and the battery backup is a nice feature in the event of a power failure. There are no adjustments for treble or bass...so if you like to tinker with sound adjustments, this radio may not be right for you. I found the factory setting to be quite nice. The radio also includes a wire antenna that may be unrolled to improve FM radio reception. We let our's fall behind the nightstand and the radio picks up all our local FM stations with no problem.

The only downside to this radio is the illuminated display. It can be very bright in a dark room and may take some getting used to.

We have since bought another one of these models for our kitchen and I am considering the BA Microsystem as we would like to have the ability to listen to CD's...although I hear that here are some serious issues with the reliability of the CD player.

Built for Bass Music Lovers.......2006-07-06

This Boston Acoustics Recepter mono AM/FM clock radio comes in an attractive white color in a simple styling that will blend easily with most bedroom decors. It has a patented AM/FM digital tuner with 20 tuner presets for AM/FM stations, dual wakeup alarms, sleep timer, adjustable snooze, LCD display with dimmer, and a memory backup. It also sports an attached 4-foot FM wire antenna and a built-in AM antenna. The necessary three "AAA" batteries are included (even though it plugs into the wall, you must also have batteries) along with a 96" AC power cord. The patented tuner can find weak FM stations and its low distortion allows you to differentiate stations without static. This radio's LCD display shows clearly the station, time, and alarm/sleep mode.

You can go to sleep to pleasant bass music and then wake up to nice bass music. The radio's sleep timer can be set to play the radio for a preset amount of time, then shut itself off. The sleep timer can be set for 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 or 60 minutes. This clock radio has two wake-up alarms which can be set to music, to the buzzer, or to both. Music can be sounded first, followed later by the buzzer which gets gradually louder until you switch it off. It is nearly impossible for someone who is not hearing-impaired to oversleep! The snooze button will stop the alarm for 10 minutes. If you double-click the snooze button, you can add another 5 minutes to the snooze time, up to 60 minutes.

In short, this is a clock radio built for lovers of bass music. And it's priced for everyone. In addition, Amazon has deals on this radio that you can't find in most retail stores. I am happy to recommend this very nice clock radio.

Amazon.com Product Description

The slim Apex AD-2600 is equipped to serve as a high-end movie source and a flexible music player, delivering premium-quality progressive-scan video images (viewable on high-definition and HD-ready TVs) and decoding the popular MP3 and Windows Media Audio music formats. If you burn pictures from a digital camera to CD-Rs and CD-RWs, you can even use the player for watching slideshows right on a TV. Apex's active full screen function (AFF) helps resize widescreen (16:9 aspect ratio) video images to fill 4:3 aspect-ratio sets.

Whether your living room is currently home to an HDTV or you're merely thinking of "someday," the AD-2600 stands ready to deliver the full potential of DVDs. Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts. In any case, standard composite- and S-video outputs bring compatibility with nearly any television.

In the audio realm, a set of left/right analog-audio outputs channels audio to Dolby Pro Logic receivers and stereo televisions. Both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround-sound signals can be routed through the player's digital-audio outputs (one each optical and coaxial) for direct connection to a full-featured audio/video receiver.

Great Product.......2007-05-13

Bought this about 4 years ago and it still works well. plays everything. Great DVD player.

It's alright... only if you're really cheap.......2006-07-01

Unlike many of the fellow reviewers, I haven't had much problem with it (most of the problems posted can be rectified through the menu). The picture quality is good and nothing much to complain about. Occassionally, however, the AD-2600 player would not read certain DVDs (I speculuate that these may have "special features"), i.e. "Mission Impossible 1" and some "Sex in the City" discs. If you only watch movies sometimes on your standard television and choose price over quality, the Apex AD-2600 is perfect for you. However, be wary of its inability to read some DVDs, lack of support from the company (no firmware updates, no FAQs/Manual on the website, etc.), and if you own an HDTV, I suggest you just wait for a Blu-Ray or HD-DVD player (the PlayStation 3 is dirt cheap for a great BR Player: $599).

the product is for the advanced users.......2006-06-24

I have a 2500 at least two years, it is not perfect, but it is still working, sometimes after view a special format disk, it may be messed up system, but with the P/N or I/P button, it can be reset back. I would buy another one if I need it.

Works intermittently.......2005-12-27

DVDs that work on other machines won't load on this machine. Sometimes it will take 20 minutes trying to load and then will reject the disk. Sometimes it skips large segments of a movie that plays fine on another machine. Not worth the trouble!

It just doesn't work.......2005-10-29

There are tons of people now who have posted reviews that say that this DVD player just stopped working on them. Well, that should hopefully give you a clue as to whether or not to buy this piece of junk. The same exact thing happened to me. One day it just stopped putting out audio or video, for no good reason that I could ascertain. It is now in the garbage pile waiting to be taken out with the morning trash.

absolutely the best.......2002-06-17

I'm an avid books on tape listener and this is by far the best tape player I've found. With large FF and REW buttons as well as a stop button and HUGE play button, I can easily find my place on the tape without looking! I also love the snappy colors.

Good player BUT...........2002-02-14

Great player for the price, but it has definitely not the auto reverse option, which by the way attracted me to purchase it. So don't be fooled :)

books on tape listener.......2002-02-07

When I take my dogs for a walk I listen to books on tape so I ordered this personal cassette player because it said auto reverse. It is very light, easy to use and good sound, but not auto reverse.

Product Description

APEX AD-703 is a 3-disk player, so you can play 3 DVDs continuously or use some of the other functions (it is capable of playing CDs and MP3s as well). It's got two Karaoke jacks - woohooo! And comes with a remote control. It's also got a few other features such as zoom, slow-motion, and multi-angle views - you would really love using the zoom and slow-motion together, who ever can read those tiny credits before the scroll by? The tightly- packed tiny buttons on the remote are less than desirable but yet compact design can be a plus. And it also got a screen saver and a special Evaluate Digest function.

Great for the price - But a few problems.......2007-03-15

I owned and used this for about 3 years. I enjoyed the ability to playback MP3's on it. I liked that the unit allowed you to have 3 DVDs or CDs loaded at any one time. While it was playing one, you could tell it to open the carousel and it would allow you to swap out one or both of the non-playing discs. The unit played my Region 0 DVDs with no problem. I did not experience the pixelation problems another reviewer wrote about. The unit had great sound quality. I found the remote to be small and efficient. Once you learned the layout, it was easy to operate, even in the dark. With about 6 remote controls on the table next to my recliner, it was nice to have a small remote. Good job Apex! Sadly, I no longer own this unit. Over time, the carousel developed a problem where it didn't want to stop spinning. When you first close the tray, it spins so it can load disc 1. Well, instead of spinning around once, it became twice. Over time, more and more revolutions would occur. When the player finishes with disc 1, it automatically switches and loads disc 2, then disc 3. After a while, it started spinning several times while switching between discs. Eventually, it didn't stop spinning and the player had to be retired. I enjoyed this player and was glad I bought it.

Good Machine for the money.......2003-07-31

I bought this machine when it first came out. That was 4 years ago, and it still works great! I would rate the picture quality as a C+ and the sound quality as an A-. The worst thing about this machine is the horribly desighned remote. Overall, I am satisfied by the DVD's performance.

Good DVD for the money.......2002-02-02

I purchased this DVD player over a year ago as I was just looking for one with Karaoke capability and basically something to replace my CD player with. For a great price, I found this unit which plays many formats of CD's, karaoke, and has the 3 cd changer. I haven't had any problems playing any DVD's, MP3's, VCD's or CD's. The quality is great, and you can find hacks to disable the Macrovision (if you so desire). The only things that I wish it had is a power button on the remote and progressive scan now that I have an HDTV as of last month. That just means I'll have to get a progressive scan DVD player soon...

Very poor DVD player.......2001-10-27

All the features seem impressive for the money. However it takes a lot of pain to make it work reasonably, (that is smoothly), and after finally making it work, I have been unable to watch ONE movie or concert without some kind of freezing, "pixelization" of the screen at least ten times during the playback. (It doesn't matter whether the movie is zone 1, unrated or after modifying the flash memory to make it multizone reader. It is a nightmare)
The only feature that works effortlessly, is MP3 playback, though the titles get truncated after 8 characters.
In brief don't flush your money through the toilet.
