Amazon.com Review

Now you can bring Sirius satellite radio to any room in the house or any outdoor gathering with the Audiovox SIR-BB1 boombox. We tested the boombox with the Audiovox SIR-PNP2 Sirius satellite radio receiver, which is required for use and not included--the SIR-BB1 boombox on its own produces no sound. With the receiver locked in place, however (as pictured), you'll enjoy the full breadth of exciting music and talk radio encompassed by the Sirius digital radio service. (A Sirius subscription is required, $12.95 per month or a one-time fee of $499.99).

Setup for the system is amazingly simple: snap the receiver into its bay, plug in the AC/DC power adapter, attach the supplied 20-foot Sirius radio antenna, position the antenna near a window, fire up the boombox, and select one of the service's 100-plus stations. There's a volume/on/off knob and a switch to engage the unit's auxiliary audio input--and that's it for controls. Plug in headphones or an audio "Y" adapter cable (not included) to channel sound to your integrated amplifier or surround receiver for listening through external loudspeakers.

For their part, the 2 speakers built into the SIR-BB1 are pretty decent. They're not strong in the bass department, but we wouldn't call their sound thin, either. Overall the unit's sound is even-keeled and extremely listenable, much better than the sound from systems that try to squeeze more bass out of their speakers than the electronics can credibly handle. To that end, we were impressed with how loudly the boombox plays, and with minimal distortion--even on a seemingly meager 5 watts per channel (x 2).

Use of the headphone jack disables the speakers, but an auxiliary audio output would have permitted integrating the boombox with a powered subwoofer. At this price, though, it's hard to justify a complaint about the absence of an output.

You'll need to position the boombox in a place where it can readily lock to a satellite transmission, which we found easily. Several spots worked fine, and even a west-facing window obstructed by a large cherry tree proved sufficient.

When reception gets hazy due to weather conditions or satellite positions, the audio program mutes briefly rather than getting fuzzy or more distant-sounding, as it would with an analog FM-radio signal. This can prove annoying, but in our lengthy evaluation, brief lost-signal mutes were infrequent at most (to the tune of 1 or fewer mutes per hour).

There's no remote control for the boombox. The receiver comes with one, but it doesn't control audio level, so while you can still change stations and browse genres from the receiver's remote, you can't turn the boombox volume up or down.

Front-panel auxiliary input grants access for CD, MP3, cassette, or other audio sources

Some problems with heat and sound clarity.......2005-12-30

I was in the hunt for a shuttle to link my AudioVox plug-&-play receiver into that didn't look as "cluttery" as the home dock (www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000C04HU) and junky computer speakers I was using. Fortunately, I caught a pretty good deal on this boom box, which, while a bit plain-looking, is a fair deal more aesthetically pleasing than my old home dock. It also helps that I only need to plug one electrical cord into my wall socket, rather than two. The boom box is also compatible with all of the antennas I have. Speaking of which: built into the unit is a link-up for the included antenna to rest on; if you aim the boom box in the right direction so's the antenna gets max reception. You don't have to worry about running the antenna out to a separate location and risk having someone trip over the wire.

Sadly, the boom box has several downsides, including inferior sound from the built-in speakers; I got slightly better sound from the computer speakers my home dock is connected to. I've owned cheaper Radio/CD boom boxes that put out slightly better audio. Even through several pairs of earphones I've tried out, the sound is rather ordinary.

I've also discovered that the factory antenna that came with the boom box is the same as the one I got with my home unit... and it behaves in pretty much the same way. In other words: it usually picks up a strong signal, but on some occasions the signal is intermittent or almost nonexistent. And you may as well forget about picking up a good beam in heavy rain. Fortunately, I've made this little problem moot by acquiring a great outdoor antenna (www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000167KPQ).

Also a potential problem is the design of the recession the receiver unit fits into. The receiver's heat vents aren't quite a free to breathe as they are in the other shuttles I own. Of course, my other shuttles don't cover over the top and sides of the receiver as much as the boom box does, so the heat dissipates a lot more quickly. Every time I touch the edges of the receiver after it's been playing for a fairly long time in the boom box, it almost feels like it came straight outta the microwave!

Another problem with the boom box's interface design is the parts that link the receiver with the boom box and hold it in place. I really have to push the receiver into place, some times even force it, to get it fully connected; needless to say, I worry about doing permanent damage to the receiver's connector pins. Then there's the little problem I have removing the receiver from the player; the release button on the top of the boom box has to really be pushed down hard and held down to get it to relinquish its grasp.

On one upside: ever since I started using the boom box, I've been using the receiver's remote control clicker more often to change channels and bands, memo songs, and all sorts of other functions. Sadly, the only thing the remote control can't change is the volume, which I can adjust with... a knob on the boom box that also turns the unit off and on. Well, that's a bit quaint. At the least, AudioVox could've designed the remote control so it'd be programmable for use with the boom box's volume control... if it wasn't in knob form that is.

`Late

Audiovox customer service.......2005-04-04

Beware of Audiovox customer service. My unit has been inoperable for 6 months. I have sent in in twice (Paid for shipping)and got an inoperable unit back both times. They are now asking me to send it in again (on my dime). I am cutting my loose and running as fast as I can.

Goto XM, Serious is junk.......2005-03-12

Here are the negatives:
-worst customer service of any business I purchased something through (and I also work in a customer service job, so I know). They cannot help you with equipment problems, instead they tell you to call Audiovox, who still can't help and will not try.
- Signal on boom box rarely comes in. Fades in and out worst than any AM/FM radio station. If it doesn't work when and were you want, then what is the advantage over regular radio?
-Receiver heats up big time!
-I hope your office window faces the right direction!
-No CD player? With today's technology integration, you gotta be kidding!

Positives
-If they have a talk show on you can't get on the internet, them maybe it is worth it if you can stand the crappy equipment.
-If work does not allow you to use i-net for streaming audio, and you don't want X-M, then buy this soon-to-be antique.

Great.......2005-03-04

Sirius radio is the best thing since PBJ's. I have the boom box and the car adapter and could not do without either one. The sound is super and commerical free. It would be nice if you could adjust the bass and tenor on the boom box plus the 8 D batteries do not last very long. After having both and using them I could never see myself going back to regular radio. I bought the year's worth of service, you get one month free but when it ends I am going to the life plan of 499.99. Thats a whole lot more attractive than month or year fee.

Antenna broke twice.......2005-02-08

I really like Sirius, but bought both this boombox and a car unit last year and the tiny piece at the end of the antenna where it plugs into the unit has broken off twice. It's a very small, but vital part of the system so I can't use any of the system without it. Audiovox wants me to have the original receipt (bought many months ago) along with the broken unit or else they will charge $25.95 for the replacement.

The whole system is only as good as its weakest part and there's no way to replace this part for a reasonable price. This part needs to either be improved or there needs to be some cheap way to splice a new one on when it breaks.

Best quality/price ratio.......2001-10-04

I got this Snapscan e40 scanner at a very low price (110$CAD) because Agfa has release a newer version of this scanner (e42) and it was the last one available on stock. After a very bad experience with HP ScanJet 4200c, paied around 300$CAD (only 90 days warranty!?) and not getting any response from it most of the time. I sent it to HP for repair lately. They evaluated cost 400$CAD to fix it! Crazy ! Better change it... for another brand : Agfa Snapscan.

Snapscan is so easy to set and use compared to HP. I got a 1-year warranty, and a better speed, resolution and color-depth quality. Software bundled with Agfa scanner is also a lot better. What a deal! I'm enthousiastic about this product. Agfa support and web site is even better than HP's. I would recommand any Agfa scanner over HP's, anytime. I'm just starting using my Snapscan e40 but it runs very smoothly, no problem at all so far.

an expensive scanner that cannot get 100%fotocopy.......2001-03-03

I am an Italian surgeon of a teaching hospital and I use a computer at home mainly for educational subjects and research. I recently bought a e40 snap-scan for my Celeron 450Mhz-Windows Me-HP840C system, in order to substitute for a 5100 HP scanner who made an excellent work before a mechanical accident. Great my disappointement has been when I realized that I can not easily make a 1:1 fotocopy to send to the printer or a readible copy (of the true dimensions) of a document to send by e-mail or fax: when I try to scan and send to the printer (or fax) a document in its real dimensions, ScanWise scale it to nearly 80%, making it difficult to utilize. I rang up the Italian technical support (S.D.R. in Milan) and they told me that they were sorry but this behaviour was due to an hardware limitation (to avoid ink soil out of the paper........sic!!!) and nothing can be done. I am very upset for having select a more expensive scanner that can not make what I mainly need (a reliable and easy to use copier) and currently made very easily by any more cheap product: so I contacted AGFA Agfa tech support answered: February 05, 2001 02:50 PM EST - Agfa Support has provided a solution AGFA's MESSAGE: Dear Antonio,

Thank you for contacting AGFA Technical Support.

The problem is actually being created by your printer settings. There is a margin around the image known as the "unprintable" area. Your printer is set to place this margin around the image and will not print the image at 100%. To change that setting, you will have to contact the printer manufacturer.

Thanks, Greg Technical Support

Great little television.......2006-09-10

This tiny television works well, has amazingly clear picture, good sound, and picks up local stations better than my big TV. It does rip through batteries, so you'll want to get two sets of rechargeable batteries and keep rotating them. My set has one pixel that is frequently white (when it should be in color), so I cannot give it give stars, but I would give it 4.5, if I could.

Headache inducer!.......2005-12-01

This works just fine but the picture is so small that it gave me a headache after 45 minutes of viewing. Not for those susceptible to migraines. Also, it goes through batteries like a rabid raccoon goes through a dumpster. Mine lasted 2 hours. This may only be good for kids or sports nuts who can't be away from their tvs.

Casio EV-570 Handheld Portable TV.......2005-09-19

TV does not work, whilst I get the picture, it is in black and white and there is no voice or sound apart from hissing noise.

Great little TV for the price........2005-02-17

If you're looking for something to catch the news while sneaking a smoke on the patio or watching the game as you return home from a weekend getaway, this fits the bill. At 2.5" the screen is perfect for individual viewing, very good picture and sound quality. Be sure and invest in rechargable batteries as 4 AAA will only last about 2.5 hours. Not the type of TV you'd want to or need to plug in, after all, it's a handheld and a perfect one for the price. By the way, showed it to some friends who went ga, ga, over it, now I know what to get them for their birthdays.

Great Picture, Great Sound, An Excellent Value.......2004-12-28

I was very impressed with the quality of the picture and sound. The picture was clear and sharp. I was very surprised with the amount of channels that this little TV was able to receive. It was able to receive all of the channels that air locally and even a few that I am unable to pick up on my non-cable TV. The only problem that I did notice was that when used in a vehicle it did get some interference from the engine but it was not purchased to use in a car so I do not forsee any problems. I definitely recommend purchasing rechargable batteries as it is a battery eater. I purchased this as a gift but was so impressed I am considering purchasing one for my self.
