This requirement complies with the device. Compared to other portable in this class (30-70), this player sounds good. The tone does not sound tinny, but full. Also thanks to DBB. Of course, no sound experience as other more expensive players.
The device has running noises. These were heard at a pop CD of mine (subjectively, of course) to Volume 6 of 32 max. In speech and Klassik in quiet volume, this can disturb certainly like a leaky faucet.
Easy and straightforward operation. Comprehensible to children. MP3 navigation very limited (no day display). It can also connect an external device such as mobile phone or MP3 player.
Well, the CD flap can be opened, in fact, without lock and key. It's not like the springs open the door by itself. Incidentally, car doors can be opened while driving without anything ....
Partly it is true. Has indeed a carrying handle. Why is "dibasic" always equated with "difficult" is not quite apparent to me. Aufwerter put simply lead into the battery compartment ... :-)
Conclusion: Anyone looking for a relatively small player with decent sound will be satisfied. One looks for the better, one reaches for MCM2000 or MCM233.Die but cost more.
Small point of criticism: The sticker front can not be removed without leaving any residue. But as has already received a mail Philips.
So I come to 4 stars. In relation to the class rather than the entire HiFi range.
