## Overview

## Description

This CD player DAB radio features crystal clear sound thanks to DAB+. Dynamic Bass Boost emphasises the bass in the music at the touch of a button, ensuring a phenomenal listening pleasure.

Review: A flexible and well-featured portable CD player which includes a DAB+ & FM radio - I have been looking for a player like this for a while and when this Philips AZB500 was featured as an desertcart Prime Day Deal my decision was easily made. It is a well featured and nicely made player that can play CD-DA, CD-RW and CD-R discs as well as regular CDs, and has shuffle and memory functions to make disc playing more interesting. As well as playing CDs this model features a DAB radio with the newer DAB+ included for flexibility and future stations, plus FM for legacy and local stations. The maximum volume is not as loud as you might expect from a player of this size – only one Watt per channel - but it features a Dynamic Bass Boost button to improve the sound at lower levels. There is a 3.5mm audio-in jack socket, but no headphone socket for private listening – the unit is straightforward to set up initially and instructions are supplied in many different languages. Although there is no traditional carrying handle there is a recess at the rear where your fingers fit nicely to carry the player with the speakers facing downwards, and for extra portability it can be powered by six C size batteries when not connected to mains power. The Philips brand name is used here under license by Hong Kong based Multimedia Displays who also make Philips computer monitors in the far east, and Philips TVs in the Netherlands. If this model hadn't been such good value on the day I would probably have chosen a Sony or Roberts model instead – but as it is I am pleased with this Philips player and use it regularly in the kitchen at present. Five stars at the price I paid but even at the regular price it is well worth considering and offers good value at under sixty pounds.
