Cassette Boombox with MP3 CD Playback

Panasonic RX-D29 CD / Radio / Cassette Boombox with MP3 CD Playback

Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Whether you're after portability or simply a stereo system with a small footprint, Panasonic's RX-D29 CD/radio/cassette boombox is a worthy candidate. The system pumps 6 watts per channel through a pair of 2-way speakers, ,each of which uses a 3-inch woofer and a .5-inch tweeter. Enjoy your favorite tunes without interruption--you can play a CD at random, in a specified order, or repeat one song or the whole disc.

You can play your homemade MP3 music compilations, too. This unit is compatible with multi-session MP3 discs, but if there are a lot of sessions it will take more time for playback to commence. Albums and tracks will play in alphanumeric order, so number your files and folders to ensure a desired playback sequence. The boombox does not support MP3 song and album title display. If a CD-ROM-format CD contains MP3 and files other than MP3, only the MP3 files will be playable.

CD synchro start helps you record custom music mixes on cassette, and auto-scan tuning sets your presets for you (12 FM, 12 AM) when you power up for the first time. The unit even comes with a handy remote control to simplify operation from the comfort of your favorite listening position (remote requires 2 AA batteries, not included).

Full auto stop conserves batteries and cassette wear by shutting down when a tape reaches its end (or beginning, if you've just rewound), while CD cue and review controls help you zero in on just the section you're looking for.

Choose from 4 preset equalizer settings to tailor the sound to your preference (XBS bass boost, vocal, clear, or soft). A Sound Virtualizer circuit simulates surround sound from the boombox's 2 speakers. For MP3 listening, Panasonic's special Re-Master circuit reproduces the treble lost during MP3 compression, enabling reproduction close to the original.

The RX-D29 runs on either AC power (cord included) or 6 C-cell batteries (not included). Power backup using 3 AA batteries (not included) saves the current time, timer settings, and radio stations that you have set. If memory batteries are not used, memory items are erased if the unit loses power.

Boombox, remote control, AC power cord, and a user's manual.

A happy customer.......2007-06-18

Bought this after reading the reviews and Amzno delivered it real fast. Happy with the sound quality, basic operations, and light weight. A real rich set of features makes this a Good Buy.

Attractive, versatile boombox with good sound.......2007-06-13

I was looking for a basic boombox and after one disastrous model from a no-name maker, I decided to get this Panasonic. I've been quite happy from Day One.

First of all, this boombox has pretty good sound for a small audio machine. It also has four preset equalizer settings that's simple to use and does make a difference to sound output. The remote control also has a "sound virtualizer" button that allows you to generate 3D effects for the sound output.

One thing that makes me happy is the CD player on this boombox can play MP3 files (but you can't shuffle MP3 files as you can shuffle CD tracks). And like all Panasonic CD players, it's very reliable and doesn't even skip when you walk and play. The CD player also spins very fast and is quiet, which is good compared to cheap boomboxes.

The cassette player, which I use occasionally, is great, too. One thing to note is it only accepts normal-type audio tapes, not one of those metal or oxide tapes. On the other hand, you can record to tape CD music or broadcast - the old-fashioned way which sure brings back lots of fond memories of the Walkman days.

The buttons are clearly laid out and easy to operate. Programming CD tracks in the orders you like is very easy. The radio tuning function works well, too. A built-in, extendable antenna makes it easy to find good FM broadcast. A built-in, foldable handle makes this lightweight boombox easy to carry.

The LCD is smallish but it comes on backlit when the boombox is powered-on. There's a built-in clock; you can press the Display button on the remote to activate the clock display anytime. When powered off, the clock shows but is not backlit.

Overall, this boombox feels solid and works well. It costs more than many other boomboxes but it does give you much more confidence. I hope to be using it for a long time to come.

It sounds GREAT!.......2007-06-09

I would have given it five stars but for one reason. The most annoying. The plug in the back falls out if you just turn the Boombox left or right. I don't know if this is just a bad wire or what! The wire is in now but if I move the boombox slightly, out it goes. The sound is just wonderful. Seller, I would appreciate a new wire! Come on Panasonic!

excellent sound and features.......2007-05-20

This is one of the few boomboxes left in the market with which you can enjoy classical music. It produces a sound that has richness, but also clarity, particularly when you compare it with the muddy sound that comes from almost every other boombox.

It has equalizer modes that make it perfectly fine to listen to rock, rap, or anything else too, and the features and controls are very convenient. The design is clean and nice, but will not appeal those who like their boomboxes flashy, 3 feet long, and with fins :-)

No shuffle for MP3 CDs???.......2007-05-04

This player works, and has decent sound quality... but it has issues.

It doesn't support shuffle for MP3 CDs, and many features (such as regular CD shuffle) are inaccessible without the remote control.

I understand why it might be a little difficult to support shuffle for MP3 CDs, but that doesn't make the feature any less important to me.
