Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Enjoy more of your favorite digital music without spending extra cash with the RCD160 boombox. Compatible with not only CD, CD-R, and CD-RW formats but also MP3 files when loaded on a CD-R/RW disc, the slick boombox offers an affordable alternative to more-expensive personal MP3 players, making it a good choice for everything from barbecues to camping trips. It also makes a nice addition to an office, bedroom, or other location where a high-end system isn't needed.

As with most other RCA boomboxes, the RCD160 is designed with simplicity in mind. The front panel includes a straightforward LCD display that sits above a series of skip/search buttons for both individual tracks and MP3 folders. Located on both sides of the display are buttons that control the CD player's 20-track programming, along with such basic functions as repeat and random play, song skip/search, and play/pause. Should CDs and MP3s get hold, listeners can turn to the digital AM/FM tuner to enjoy local public and commercial radio. The device even includes 20 presets that make it easy to find your favorite stations.

The RCD160 owes its audio performance to its pair of 4-inch bass reflex speakers (2.5 watts x 2) and its quartet of equalizer presets (rock, pop, jazz, and classical) that optimize the sound to fit your musical taste. Listeners can also further enhance the sound by activating the Dynamic Digital Bass Boost system, which delivers deeper, more powerful low-end tones. Appropriately for a portable player, the device runs on six D-size batteries and includes a fold-down carrying handle for easy transport and a stereo headphone jack. It also measures 14.17 by 5.91 by 10.24 inches (W x H x D) and carries a one-year warranty on parts and labor.

RCA RCD160.......2006-07-19

Died in 3 months. Then came back to life then died again 3 months later. Can't see dial at night. Doesn't remember cd playback settings like "continuous". No clock. Cost too high for this quality. Volume not exactly stellar.

My rating for RCA 160 MP3/CD Player.......2006-03-10

In the few weeks I've had my MP3 player I have listened to nearly
everyday. I collect old time radio shows, and have hours of listening pleasure thanks to this player. The turn/around time
from order to receipt was very good. I highly reccommend this
player, and Amazon's fine service to anybody who might be in the
market for a similar machine.

Run, do not walk, from buying this thing.......2006-01-16

This is a horrible MP3 player. I have a large number of MP3 files from different sources, most of them 128 to 192 kbps, and only about 20% of them play correctly. Invariably they will start skipping in midstream, in a very regular but rapidly increasing way, which seems like the codec or memory buffer is messed up rather than the disc being scratched. It even does this on pristine, newly burned discs. I picked this player up on impulse at Target, and based on the other reviews it looks like I should have done my homework first. I won't be buying any more RCA products until they work on their quality control a little more.

Piece of crap.......2005-12-24

This is an unreliable piece of junk. I never could get it to play a CD-RW disc, it would not play mp3s very well (sometimes only recognizing the first 3 or 4 tracks), and the cd player quit altogether after a couple months. The sound was pretty good though, I guess.

ok for limited use.......2005-11-05

i bought this to play old radio shows in mp3 that don't play on alot of better machines (the encoding is low i think). they play fine but it's very annoying to fast forward one show at a time and sometimes the buttons aren't responsive at all. it stays in one spot so it isnt getting alot of movement which might increase it's life. all in all , it does the job and the sound is fine on my machine for my purpose but it certainly isn't worth any more than i paid for it. When i have the time, i'll probably test other machines to see if they will do the job better. It does give better sound than my Rio portable mp3 disk player which i play thru a headset or speakers. the Rio has very low volume (which is probably why they lost the market to IPOD and are now not making them).
