"Movies On-The-Go With Teac DVD Boombox"

By Mendelson Tiu | Published:07/07/2008

At first glance, the Teac boombox looks just like any other portable radio: it can play CDs, has an FM/AM tuner, and uses eight C batteries for added portability. However, the company has included additional features to make sure that users get the lot. The Smarthouse team finds out whether this device is well worth the purchase.

Teac says that its PDCDV125L is an ‘All-in-one Mega Boombox.' And why not - the company has decided to include a 7-inch screen, a built-in DVD player, a USB and SD/MMC card slot, and MP3/MP4/JPEG playback on the device, making it a portable entertainment device to be used anywhere.

Users can find the disc tray, audio in port, microphone in port, USB port, SD/MMC card slot, and a microphone volume knob, along with the Power and FM indicator and remote sensor up front. The top of the box hosts the earphone jack, volume knob, function switch (DVD/SUB/Card, Off, Radio), menu, repeat, audio, display, stop, rewind/previous, forward/next, and play/pause buttons, a band switch (FM/AM/FM ST), the tuning control knob, as well as the unit's 7-inch TFT screen.

Users can also find a composite and RCA port, battery compartment, AC socket, and FM antennae at the back of the unit.

The unit can be used as a portable radio, a CD player, a DVD player, a JPEG viewer, an MP3 player, or as an MP4 video player. Rotating the 7-inch screen enables a user to watch a DVD movie, while the USB and SD/MMC port allows a user to view saved JPEG photos or MP3/MP4 files on the screen.
