If the batteries die, will it still play (obviously at a lower volume)?

You will need fresh batteries ... I was real happy with mine for awhile, then it quit working, either a short somewhere, or blown speaker.. I never had it up loud enough to blow a speaker but that is what it sounds like ..

I'm not sure, my wife uses it for her ghost hunting. I doubt it though, it probably dies if the little amp isn't getting power..

No, it shuts off if the batteries die. It may buzz when the batteries are just about to die.

I'm not 100% but I think so at least the volume can be turned down so you won't be able to hear it

This unit continues to play CD's and DVD's when you shut the lid down. You need to manually TURN OFF the power after closing the lid, otherwise the battery gets run down if you unplug it.

No, played at reasonable sound, but if exceeded " loud" sound play, leakage will occur.

Yes I believe so. The battery never died completely for me to try it but I have played music from it plugged into AC power

If it sounds, anyone can turn it off. Not sure what purpose it would serve when you are not present. The battery probably would not last several hours.

You'd be pushing it at its upper limit. My guess is your end up with reduced battery life and some strain at higher volumes.

Yes, but I noticed that it doesn't if it has fully lost its charge. I love this speaker. My son told me to not play it so loud because it loses its charge quicker .

Well. If you're using it on battery supply you've GOT to change the batt. Often, when the battery starts going dead, the range of tonal change decreases dramatically. I was playing with mine once when the battery got real low and it only had two different sounds. Now, with a fresh battery its great. As far as "sucking tone" i would say its a mediocre problem.

Yes. And the battery is a turd. And there is a five second delay of drastically reduced volume every time you restart playback. Spend the extra money. This thing is a P.O.S

Yes, you can still listen to music without batteries. No, the headphone doesn't "quit" when the battery dies.

No, in fact, if you turn it off, it does not even remember which function it was on or the last-played volume level. You have to cycle through the functions to get back to the one you were last using...oh, and you'll probably have to turn it down right away. These are certainly downsides, but the upsides outweigh them. For the price, it has pretty good sound, and the ability to use an SD card or USB to play music is fantastic. We have even gotten some use out of the Bluetooth function. You will be hard-pressed to find as versatile of boombox for the $. Hope this helps.

Hi, Janice. So far I've used it on batteries only once, for about an hour on July 4th, to play patriotic music during a local parade. No problems for that length of time. With an old Panasonic boombox, I learned to remove the batteries if they were going to be unused for a while, to avoid the possibility of leaking battery acid that killed the boombox.

The unit has a battery saving device built in to it.If the unit does not detect sound play on the device it will turn itself off after awhile.

If you turn the power off completely, it will be fine for whenever you play next, which is what I do. However, if you leave it in "clock" mode or use it for walking, it will continue to use battery.

Yes, the stereo will play with just batteries. However, if the batteries die you will lose the saved stations. The player does not have a small battery to store stations incase that happens. Would not recommend this stereo if your placing it in a hard to reach place.
