My old Philips boombox has a button for "incredible surround" . Does it have this feature for CD playback?

It has different sound surrounding processing - concert, hall, club etc... , I assume it is the same thing

There are several controls, bass, Treble, mono, sound virtualized. However they seem only minimally effective for me.

My unit has a "Surround EQ" button, with 4 settings other than "EQ Off" -- Heavy, Clear, Soft, and Vocal (these are the exact words used). I rarely use them since the EQ Off sound is so good and usually well balanced. I do not find buttons on the remote to control this, only a bass/treble adjustment which I have NO idea how to use yet! Anybody have any suggestions about this?

This has "sound virtualizer" which seems to be pretty much the same as Phillips' Increadible Surround. It only has on or off. No varying the level of Increadible Surround. There are also preset EQs as well as separate bass and treble controls. This thing sounds great on mids and highs. Lows are a bit rolled off but for the size it does ok. Has dual ports in the back so if you put it in a corner or near a wall you'll get more output. I was looking for a unit with "Increadible Surround" but settled on this one. If it had a seperate sub it would be perfect. Still better than most. Gets pretty loud if you want it to without a lot of distortion.

No...there is a place to put one on the left in the front..but I just use the CD function...I was very impressed with the sound from the speakers..new technology at its best...there is a button to push for enhanced sound; I leave it on all the time. A little tricky making the track selection advance..other than that, a very good compact system and for the low price quite a good deal.

I'm not sure because I have never tried since I have a regular CD player which is what I use.

No. There is a rectangular " slide button" that you slide along the side of the player where other buttons you push, are located. It unhinged the top to access the CD. The large button in the center of the top is decorative.

No. The Magnasonic Portable CD/DVD Player Boombox does NOT pick up a signal for television station. It plays the radio, dvds and cds. I'm very impressed with it for what it does. I bought it for my 7-year-old son, although, it's NOT a kids' toy. He treats it well and he loves it. I love it, too.

No it does not. And I hate that so much. I don't think it wouldn't be too hard to have that feature which is sooo useful for users (at least for me :-) ). Especially when you have an mp3 CD with lots of songs on it. It starts from track 1 every time you start it.

I have only used this for standard CD's that I believe have the WAV format. The boombox does have an external input for MP3 devices but I have never tried to use this external input.

Yes it does, pressing the play mode on the remote while in cd play will give you opps.

I am sorry. I do not know. I sent mine back because it was not working correctly, playing the cd's. the lights and that annoying echo feature. I would not recommend this item.

Hi Rick, the Boombox has a single Audio in port. You can connect a TV or DVD Player to it using a Stereo -mini jack on one end and two phono plugs on the other end. -Vincent

No, nor has it ever played cd's. I bought it for a Christmas gift so I had it too long to return it. Junk. My girls can hear scratchy radio from it, but that's it. This isn't what you are looking for.

Yes it plays as well ... I'm a tech dummy and had some challenges figuring out which buttons governed the cassette vs the CD playing functions, but once I got that figured out I was OK ... it's a great little machine!!

Yes it does, either for one track, or for all. I also see it is a LOT cheaper than when I bought mine! There are some other things to think about. First, the Akai does not show the time of the CD, or how long a CD is in total when you first put in a CD. All it displays is the number of tracks on the CD, and then the track playing. I would like both time features. However, the sound is the best I have yet heard from a boombox.

The remote has a "SOUND" button that you press multiple times until you get to the selection (surround, bass or treble) you want and then you press the arrow buttons to adjust up or down. It also has a "PRESET EQ" button for "HEAVY", "SOFT", "CLEAR", "VOCAL" or "FLAT" choices.

Hi James, this Sony MHC-EC909IPB has 1 CD tray and can only play 1 CD at a time. -Ely

Yes it does. The only thing I dont like about this boombox is some features only can be accessed by the remote. Otherwise it is awesome.
