Dynamic Bass Boost maximizes your music enjoyment by emphasizing the bass content of the music throughout the range of volume settings - from low to high – at the touch of a button! Bottom-end bass frequencies usually get lost when the volume is set at a low level. To counteract this, Dynamic Bass Boost can be switched on to boost bass levels, so you can enjoy consistent sound even when you turn down the volume.

Australia Found helpful Yes (13) • No (1)Generally great. Some problems with cassette to USB ripping.
The AZ1852 is a very nice sound machine in general. However, I did encounter a couple of hitches when when recording (ripping) from cassette (tape) to USB flash drive. The first hitch (and least important perhaps) was that it took several seconds after starting the cassette playback and pressing the USB record button for the USB recording to actually commence. The second (and probably worst hitch) was that in order to successfully save the recording to the USB device it is necessary to press the USB recording stop button before the cassette ends and auto-stops. This is, of course, very inconvenient as you need to be at the machine as the recording ends. I believe the previous model (AZ1856) did not have this problem and automatically saved the recording as the cassette auto-stopped. I hope this problem is resolved in future models. In all other respects the machine is very good.Yes, I recommend this product

Australia Found helpful Yes (0) • No (0)CD player no longer working.
It's a shame Philips no longer makes this product as the CD player no longer works. It was just fine at first. I think what happened is some balls came out of the spindle and wound up in the lazer pickup. I took it in to be repaired but the man was adamant the beam needed to be replaced and that was no longer possible.Yes, I recommend this product
