Criticism:
+ Durable acquisition
+ Robust processing
+ Plays music from USB flash drive and detects mp3 CDs
- The device is sold as a recorder, but is just a normal player
- Radio stations can not be saved
- Radio stations are searched for old-fashioned over a knob
- Poor antenna hardly reception
- The buttons are poorly labeled, too small and inaccessible from the front
- Display is not lit, difficult to read
- Handle is located behind the device
- Sound: Mediocre
- Schallert at louder volume
At the time I bought the device because it has a USB port. In 2014, the player is actually totally outdated. 50 Euro are definitely too expensive. We have other Philips equipment, which are worth the money. I would no longer buy the player.
