Ideal for music on the move, the Neostar portable music station boasts a CD player, digital PLL FM radio tuner and - hard to find these days - a cassette recorder.
Equipped with a USB socket for MP3 playback or direct encoding, there's also an auxiliary input socket and a 3.5mm headphone jack for private listening.
The smart backlit LCD screen not only displays radio and CD information but displays the time when in standby mode, thanks to its built-in 12 or 24-hour clock. You can store up to 20 radio stations, and also programme a CD to play on repeat one, repeat all, shuffle, or normal playback.
The compact portable hi-fi runs on mains power or 8 x C batteries for real portability and has a USB port to play MP3 files or digitally record from radio, cassette or CD. Whether for pure retro pleasure or the great listening options it offers, this CD radio cassette player is a rare find.
Mains powered and supplied with a mains lead fitted with a British mains plug, the boombox can also be powered by 8 x C batteries (not included).
