Sylvania PRCD261-RED Portable CD Boombox AM/FM Radio Red

Portable CD Boombox AM/FM Radio Red

The Sylvania PRCD261-RED is a portable CD boombox with AM/FM radio in a red finish. It plays standard audio CDs and includes a top-loading mechanism with an LED display that shows the current track. Power comes from the included AC adapter or 9V batteries for use away from a mains outlet. An aux input lets you connect phones, tablets or other audio sources.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

This unit suits listeners who want a simple, mains-or-battery boombox for CDs and broadcast radio at home, in a workshop or outdoors. Buyers who need Bluetooth streaming, USB playback, a remote control or cassette recording should look at other models. The single speaker design also means it will not satisfy users wanting stereo separation or high-output party volume.

20-track programmable memory decides fit

The 20-track programmable memory lets you queue a custom playback order for any CD. If you regularly create specific song sequences for workouts, lessons or parties, this feature covers that need. If you only play discs straight through or prefer shuffle modes on a phone, the memory depth is not a deciding factor.
