I'll start from the beginning: The record player came quickly and carefully packed for me to. A remote control, and multi-language instruction manual included. Remote control batteries are not included.
Visually, the device of course has a lot to offer. Especially the great retro look on the front immediately convinced! There is attention to detail, such as the silver-colored pointers for the radio frequency or the two orange knobs. Very modern, there is a LCD display with blue backlight. Here title, running time and other information are displayed in large letters. The unit has two speakers. On the top is the turntable compartment. A lid can be opened, everything is good to use with your hands. In addition to the display you will find the compartment for the SD card and below is room for any USB flash drive. There is an extra bass knob and of course, the device has the usual settings such as the radio, the choice between AM or FM, or in the mp3 songs there is a Widerholungstaste etc.
I have now tried all the features and am really happy. The sound is surprisingly not ultra modern and clear as one might imagine. Klanglisch this turntable, as its optical and trimmed to retro. Fashioned halt, tinny, even somewhat boomy. But it does not bother me in the least, because this is the unit and the sound into something very special! Who, of course, on a modern sound machine with stark bass, highs and lows puts much emphasis will be disappointed here. But who is looking for typical old sounds, is the place to go!
The remote control works even if a good deal can be removed from the device. Really good I find the +10 / -10 button on the remote. Here you can title the same over or jump back in packages of ten! This is especially interesting when packed USB sticks where you sometimes lose track among hundreds stocks. For quickly finding some songs there's even a matching info button which ensures that you get the artist and the title appears on the screen.
Well I just like if the clear German tutorial on this turntable. Everything is explained sufficiently and thoroughly and all functions are described individually. So I did not expect.
Less good, I like the processing of the device. Full plastic flat, but in the price range ok. Another point of criticism is the lack of volume control on the remote control. Where there because something today ?!
Conclusion: Here you get a great turntable in retro style. He can play records, receive radio stations, play back music from sticks and SD cards and dominates the recording function from disk to memory stick or SD card. Klanglisch it adapts to its design. Or in short: a great value for multifunction device, what I would buy again!
