I have this model chosen because my radio was important. Here the first major advantage: the dipole antenna has a great reception, I can receive my favorite radio station, although I live in the absolute outskirts. Excellent!
The description of the dealer does not give up all the answers, so now my information:
The outer ring is equipped with a color changer, the color changes every 10 seconds, but evenly. All colors, as they are known from color changing candles etc.. So no connection to the beat of the music etc.
The inner ring around the lettering around Jukebox remains medium blue.
What to the light now to be "vibrant", as stated in the description, I have not yet figured out ...
The wooden body is beautiful dark brown, almost rosewood, a total-quality impression.
Two boxes on the left and right of the unit, who have a pretty good sound.
At the rear there is a subwoofer output, and an AUX-IN input for external players (except PC)
The Front is not only decorative, but also includes all function buttons and the disc tray. It does not look cheap or shaky.
All functions of the device can be operated with the supplied remote control: volume, mode selection, radio stations etc.
Further attached is a 3mm jack cable.
The display lights typically blue, and both in operation and in standby mode, and the right light, which does not bother me personally, as well as the time is displayed.
So far I have tried: Radio, USB, SD Card, CD. Everything works.
A downgrade there is a key ID3, which actually the title information to be displayed.
However, the device does not recognize one of my songs, even though there are originals, which also have ID3 tags.
The manual says: "Supports ID3 tag Ver 2.0." I do not know if the songs are too new or too old version, anyway, it's annoying, lasting only to read "No Song, No album" So :-( so when I've a function, they should also work, and that too at the present time ... otherwise you would have to update or revise the instrument.
USB
Here is the relevant and not unimportant information on USB port:
"1. The USB port does not support connection to a USB extension cable
2. The device is not suitable for direct communication with a computer.
3. There is no guarantee that all USB memory devices and SD cards work with this audio system.

The system only recognizes MP3 files, no other format.
It can be a playlist can be created.

20 transmitters can be programmed, you can search manually or activate the search.
The device has several additional features that I have not tried yet.
- Converting an original CD to USB / SD in mp3

- Recording of music tracks via the AUX input on USB or SD including conversion to MP3.
- Deleting Titles
The device can also be used as an alarm clock, there is a timer.
Similarly, there are a sleep mode, where you set a time when the unit out.
----------------------------------------
Overall, one can say that the device has extensive functions.
However, I feel that the technology is not the most current version, because the use of the media is relatively limited or outdated versions. When I buy a machine today, I assume that I can use all contemporary media.
By the light I would have liked a little more variability. That, for example, depending on the chosen medium of the inner circle is lit in a different color or something. The color changer is nice, but also because I lack any effects, it quickly becomes boring. At the present time that would actually be possible without further notice. Within the arc of colors or change the beat of the music.
Since the original description is not really a lot of information to be given, I hope to be able to answer a lot of questions with my report.
When asked whether the price of the device also justifies, I can only say: Who looks around in the market, will see that there are few alternatives. Every smartphone can do more than this jukebox. However, not a smartphone looks so beautiful like the jukebox ;-) There is something for lovers, and because we must not think about the money.
Conclusion: I do not regret buying, I hope that the LED lighting lasts a long time, I'm a bit disappointed about the non-functioning ID3 recognition and quite simply held lighting, I am happy that I can listen to the weakest radio stations ,
The Jukebox for everyone who the big brother can not afford or does not have room for it :-)
