SONY BOOMBOX CFD-G700CP REDEFINED (ACT TWO REDUX) I recommend Duracell Coppertop, Duracell Coppertop DURALOCK Power Preserve Technology, Energizer Max, or Energizer Max Power Seal Technology premium D cell alkaline batteries for maximum audio performance and battery life of this awesome Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP Portable Stereo Additionally, I recommend Duracell Coppertop, Duracell Coppertop DURALOCK Power Preserve Technology, Duracell Ultra Advanced, Duracell Ultra Power, Duracell Ultra Power DURALOCK Power Preserve Technology, Energizer Max, Energizer Max Power Seal Technology premium AA alkaline batteries, Energizer Advanced Lithium, or Energizer Ultimate Lithium AA batteries for the factory supplied remote commander. The remote commander is compatible with NiMH (1.2V 2400-2750 mAh capacity recommended) rechargeable AA cell batteries as well. The battery compartment on the main unit consists of two rows of 4 spring-loaded DC positive/negative battery contact terminals for the proper placement of 8 flashlight compatible D cell batteries inside. All D cell alkaline batteries should be replaced when the main unit’s LED OPR/BATT indicator dims, the Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP boombox outputs very weak sound quality on a consistent basis, or there is no sound output at all. The AA cell batteries in the remote commander should be replaced when it can no longer operate the main unit from a short distance away or the portable stereo fails to respond to remote commands. AC power is also available for this Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP ghetto blaster. A detachable polarized plug AC power cord is supplied with the boombox. The installed D cell batteries are automatically disengaged as a DC power source when it is plugged into a wall outlet. The AC power cord can be connected to a wall outlet directly, power strip, or a power surge protector, if desired. All batteries should be removed from the main unit and the remote commander if the Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP Stereo System will not be used for an extended period of time (30 days or more) to avoid damage from battery leakage issues. There is no definitive answer as to the actual length of time that the D cell batteries in the main unit or AA cell batteries in the remote commander will last. The battery life specifications ( up to 18 hours) provided by Sony in the user manual for the main unit are only approximate, are only offered under perfect factory operating conditions, and are only accurate if you use Sony branded (LR20 or R20) D cell alkaline or zinc-chloride batteries that are manufactured in Japan. Your Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP boombox will have different battery life results because it is not likely to be used exclusively at the Sony factory. Of course, the longer the duration the Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP boombox is powered on, and as the volume level increases during a playback session, battery life will be shortened accordingly. Proceed with caution. Stay away from cheap no name label alkaline or carbon-zinc D cell or AA cell batteries. In my experience, these unknown brand batteries are of inferior quality, last a very short time span, and have a tendency to leak in the product packaging and/or battery compartment. Make sure to never mix old and new batteries, different battery types, different battery voltages, and different battery brands. The lithium AA battery type features a leak-resistant construction and may be more suitable for long term storage inside the remote commander’s battery compartment when compared to industry standard AA alkaline batteries. The Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP Portable Stereo is compatible with the following D cell 1.5V battery types: carbon-zinc, alkaline, and NiMH rechargeable batteries (1.2V 10,000 mAh capacity recommended). When purchasing D cell alkaline batteries for this boombox, it is a good idea to check the date on the package. A fresh set of D cell alkaline batteries should have a best if used by date of at least 6 or 7 years ahead of the date of purchase. Duracell Coppertop DURALOCK Power Preserve Technology D cell, Energizer Max Power Seal Technology D cell, Duracell Ultra Power DURALOCK Power Preserve Technology AA, and Energizer Max Power Seal Technology AA cell alkaline batteries are guaranteed by the manufacturer to stay fresh in the product packaging for up to 10 years from the current date of purchase. In the case of advanced long-life Energizer Ultimate Lithium AA batteries for the remote commander, the package date may be up to 15 years ahead of the current date of purchase. Battery life is determined by many factors and that is why individual results vary. Such factors include the type of music being played, the volume level being used, the amount of time cassette recording takes place off the D cell batteries, and ambient room or outdoor temperature. Battery performance will be decreased if this boombox is powered by D cell alkaline batteries in extremely cold temperatures. The Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP boombox can’t be powered by a car battery directly. The Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP boombox does not offer a 12V DC automotive power input jack for this purpose. However, it may be possible to power the Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP boombox from a car battery with a third party DC-to-AC power inverter. If you are determined to power this boombox from a car battery, then you can look into purchasing a DC-to-AC power inverter for the Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP Portable Stereo. A power inverter converts DC battery power into standard 120V, 60Hz AC current to supply power to portable audio electronics within a vehicle. A high quality power inverter incorporates surge protection, allows for safe engine startup, overload protection, low battery shutdown, and is compatible with a vehicle that has a 12 Volt battery. Sony does not provide any specifications with respect to compatible power inverters for this Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP Stereo System. Only the supplied detachable AC power cord or equivalent aftermarket replacement cord can be plugged into the rear panel AC IN Jack. The Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP boombox does come with a double-insulated power cord. The Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP boombox is supplied with a detachable AC power cord that features a C8 figure-8 shaped inlet connector. The C8 power cord connector connects to the AC IN Jack that is located on the rear panel of the Sony XPLOD boombox. The C8 power connector coupler is commonly used by most consumer electronics manufacturers to power portable audio equipment such as a FM/AM radio or cassette player from standard 120V, 60Hz AC household power. The IEC C8 AC power cord is considered a double-insulated power supply for all of your thermal based or electrical safety protection needs. The Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP boombox is not compatible for AC power use outside the U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico out of the box. Additional electrical conversion equipment is required for this international travel application. Use of this product outside of the intended domestic market may work, but can’t be supported by the manufacturer. However, it is possible for the Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP boombox to work outside of the U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico with the use of a Step Up/Down Voltage Converter/Transformer. The voltage transformer converts voltages from 110-120 Volts to 220-240 Volts so that electronic devices intended for the U.S. market can be powered abroad. Some noise or electrical hum may be heard from the Sony boombox when electrical conversion equipment is used to power this product. Medium Wave (MW) reception may be impaired in the intended overseas geographical destination because there is no way to change the boombox’s AM Band channel step tuning interval from 10 kHz to 9 kHz. The FM Band’s channel step tuning interval can’t be changed from 100 kHz to 50 kHz to accommodate FM Band reception in select European radio markets. The Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP boombox provides outstanding FM/AM tuner reception results indoors or outdoors even under challenging reception operating environments. The Digital FM Band Tuner can receive the following station frequencies in the New York City Metropolitan area in either manual or preset tuning modes: 88.3, 88.9, 89.1, 89.5, 89.9, 90.7, 91.1, 91.5, 92.3, 93.1, 93.5, 93.9, 94.7, 95.5, 96.3, 96.7, 97.1, 97.9, 98.3, 98.7, 99.5, 100.3, 100.7, 101.1, 101.9, 102.7, 103.5, 104.3, 105.1, 105.9, 106.7, 107.5 MHz. The Digital AM Band Tuner can receive the following station frequencies in the New York City Metropolitan area in either manual or preset tuning modes: 570, 620, 660, 710, 770, 820, 880, 930, 970, 1010, 1050, 1130, 1190, 1280, 1330, 1380, 1430, 1480, 1560, 1600, 1660 KHz. Of course, your receivable FM/AM station results will vary by your particular geographic destination and/or radio market. The Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP boombox is capable of receiving the following classes of AM/FM radio stations in the United States as licensed by the F.C.C.: For the AM Band: Class A: 10,000 Watts-50,000 Watts broadcast transmission power, Class B: 250 Watts-50,000 Watts broadcast transmissions power, Class C: 250 Watts-1,000 Watts broadcast transmissions power, and Class D: 250 Watts-50,000 Watts broadcast transmissions power. For the FM Band: Class A: 6,000 Watts maximum broadcast transmission power-Maximum Antenna Height 328 ft., Class B1: 25,000 Watts maximum broadcast transmissions power-Maximum Antenna Height: 328 ft., Class B: 50,000 Watts maximum broadcast transmissions power-Maximum Antenna Height 492 ft., Class C3: 25,000 Watts maximum broadcast transmissions power-Maximum Antenna Height 328 ft., Class C2: 50,000 Watts maximum broadcast transmissions power-Maximum Antenna Height 492 ft., Class C1: 100,000 Watts maximum broadcast transmissions power-Maximum Antenna Height 981 ft., Class C0: 100,000 Watts maximum broadcast transmissions power-Maximum Antenna Height 1476 ft., and Class C: 100,000 Watts maximum broadcast transmissions power-Maximum Antenna Height 1969 ft. Receivable AM/FM radio stations are categorized as commercial or non-commercial. Low-powered college radio stations located on the FM Band in NY can offer as few as 11 Watts of transmission power within a particular radio market. High-powered college radio broadcasts can offer up to 46,000 Watts of transmission power on the FM dial. The Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP Portable Stereo is capable of receiving unlicensed (Part 15 F.C.C. Rules) FM radio stations such as those broadcast at a small college, local gym, or in a multiple unit dwelling. The Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP boombox features an outstanding digital tuner with built-in memory for storage of up to 30 FM/AM station presets. The digital tuner provides the most accurate and drift-free radio reception possible. The Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP boombox’s digital tuner locks onto station frequencies with precision, while simultaneously reducing unwanted noise anomalies that often plague lesser performing portable stereos. For example, you can change a stereo broadcast to monaural reception if the FM program is received with excessive static or noise by pressing the Mode button on the remote commander or the main unit. This Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP boombox includes a telescopic FM whip antenna and built-in AM ferrite bar antenna for enhanced reception performance under most circumstances. The quality of radio reception that you will receive on the Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP boombox at any given time is dependent on a multitude of environmental factors, seasonal conditions, astronomical occurrences, principles of radio propagation, the laws of physics, F.C.C. broadcasting regulations regarding broadcasting power transmissions, and circumstances that are beyond your control. Reception can change based on the time of day it is, current atmospheric conditions, the presence of sun spots, solar flares, solar winds, or solar storms during the daytime hours, the movement of radio waves from one part of the earth to another, nearby power lines and electrical motors near the home, the proximity of appliances that emit RF interference to your Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP boombox, the type of material that your home or room is made of, the distance from the broadcast tower(s) to your home, the presence of mountains, hills, or skyscrapers in the neighborhood, signal strength of the broadcast station being received, and the quality of your boombox antenna and radio receiver all play a critical part in determining the quality of radio reception in your home or outdoors. Radio reception also varies by geographical location as well. It can’t be determined in the abstract if the tuner design of any particular boombox is responsible for the quality of radio reception that any particular customer experiences at any given time. A digitally tuned portable stereo is not inherently superior in terms of radio reception performance when compared to its analog counterpart. Any Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP boombox tuner’s sensitivity and selectivity performance with respect to weak signal and adjacent channel reception aptitude will either thrive or dive based on the quality, electrical design, thermal design, and craftsmanship of the portable stereo’s internal tuning circuitry, built-in oscillator, signal processing, noise filters, microprocessor controller unit, accurate calibration of the digital tuner, and built-in system FM/AM antennas. In most instances, a digitally tuned boombox radio merely provides convenience to the listeners as they are able to store preset stations into memory. Customers can instantly recall their favorite radio stations and programs at the touch of a button on a digital tuner. Nevertheless, a digitally tuned boombox radio usually suffers less from annoying station-drift issues than an analog tuned boombox radio with a large tuning knob. Accurate, clear, and drift-free radio reception for any portable boombox will inevitably vary. It is not possible to give a definitive answer as to the exact distance that any particular radio broadcast can be received at any specific point of the day or night. Only a general range of broadcast reception can be estimated in terms of miles when determining if a particular broadcast is capable of being received by the Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP boombox. FM radio signals are broadcast at a much higher altitude than AM signals. As a result, FM Band radio interference can be caused from multipath reflections of radio waves off tall buildings or nearby mountains in the neighborhood. The reception area of most FM signals can range between 40-100 miles. Under rare atmospheric conditions, referred to as Tropospheric Ducting, FM signal sky wave coverage over land or bodies of water during the very warm summer months can extend outward up to a 190-500 mile radius from a station(s) broadcast transmitter during the daytime hours. Tropospheric Ducting forecasts are rated on a weakest signal to strongest signal geographical coverage area 0-10 index scale. Please note that hilly or mountainous terrain work to defeat expanded Tropospheric Ducting FM radio wave propagation across the U.S. for the vast majority of FM Band listeners. FM coverage is much shorter than AM because FM signals travel in straight lines (line-of-sight) and have reduced interaction with the earth’s ionosphere. However, FM monaural reception offers better sound quality when compared to AM. FM mono signals are susceptible to much less interference than traditional AM radio broadcasts. FM stereo broadcasts provide high-fidelity sound quality to the target radio audience and provide the shortest reception range in any particular market on the 87.5-108 MHz frequency spectrum. AM radio stations on the 530-1710 kHz frequency band periodically reduce power at night as required by F.C.C. regulations or perform maintenance operations on the transmitter that could adversely affect reception capabilities on the Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP boombox. It should be noted that the transmission of AM radio broadcasts in general are much longer than FM broadcasts. In the daytime, AM radio broadcasts traveling via ground wave transmission may reach listeners within a several hundred mile radius. However, at night, AM signals roaming via sky wave may travel hundreds or even thousands of miles away from the intended radio market. Long-distance or DX reception of remote AM Band radio stations is possible after sunset because of an AM broadcaster’s ability to bounce signals off the outer reaches of the earth’s atmosphere to Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP boomboxes outside of the intended radio market. AM DX reception is best during the winter months and is at its lowest point of performance in the summer. A Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP boombox always incorporates an internal ferrite bar antenna to bolster AM Band reception capability of strong signal or Clear Channel Communications 50,000 Watt stations. FM Band reception can be enhanced on the Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP boombox by extending the telescopic whip antenna to achieve full quieting results, when necessary. An examination of the various sources of radio interference is an important subject as it pertains to the Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP boombox’s overall day-to-day performance. Typically, most sources of radio interference come from entertainment devices within the home that emit RF or radio frequency waves. In addition, radio interference may be caused by phenomenon occurring outside the home, in the immediate surrounding area of your home, deteriorating atmospheric conditions, and/or interference from adjacent broadcast frequencies on the FM Band. Listeners typically experience interference from nearby electronic equipment in their home from such items as computers, cordless telephones, microwave ovens, cellular telephones, televisions, stereo systems, compact disc players, electric power tools, and everyday household appliances. RF interference can be caused from lighting equipment, metal objects, close by ham radio operators, and nearby broadcasting equipment. A competing broadcast station that is adjacent to the station being listened to will occasionally bleed into the currently tuned station to degrade reception opportunities as well. It is my experience that moving a Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP boombox closer to a window and away from electronic devices that emit harmful RF interference dramatically improves FM/AM reception. AM Band reception coverage can be expanded upon indoors with the use of an external Omni-directional passive antenna. For example, the Terk AM Advantage Antenna makes use of a wireless electromagnetic procedure known as inductive coupling to improve AM Band reception by placing the antenna in close proximity to the Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP boombox. A third party external FM antenna, such as the C. Crane FM Reflect Dipole Antenna, can be attached via alligator clips to the included whip antenna on the Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP boombox for improved FM Band reception results indoors. The Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP boombox does not feature auto-reverse playback or continuous play for Side A or Side B of a cassette. Unfortunately, the Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP boombox does not offer an auto stop function in rewind or fast forward tape transport modes. The operating instructions indicate under the section “Playing a Tape”, “When the tape is wound to the end, press stop/eject to release rewind or fast forward.” However, the Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP boombox does perform the auto stop function if the cassette has reached the end of Side A or Side B in play mode only to avoid wear and tear on the cassette mechanism. The cassette deck does not feature a tape counter to enable precise tape position location. This Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP Portable Stereo is only compatible with Type I normal bias standard cassettes. Type II and Type IV cassette playback can’t be guaranteed. The cassette recorder can playback prerecorded cassettes one side at a time (single-direction playback). You must turn over the cassette to hear the next side. The cassette deck can also record music from its built-in FM/AM Tuner, CD Player and any audio component that is connected to the 3.5mm Auxiliary Line Input Jack. For best cassette recording results, ruggedly built Sony HF Series Type I normal bias 60 or 90-minute cassettes can be used. Household AC power should be used during prolonged recording sessions for best recording results and to conserve battery power. Do not use tapes longer than 120 minutes in length unless it is for extended playback or recording sessions. The Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP boombox operating instructions do not indicate support for continuous playback of Type I normal bias cassettes on the built-in single cassette deck player/recorder. Continuous or relay play is typically achieved on a boombox or component stereo cassette deck that features twin cassette players with an appropriate auto-reverse capable tape directional switch controlling the action. Continuous play stereo components typically feature full-logic cassette transport controls, a multiple tape transport motor system, high-speed dubbing, and a digital tape counter to keep track of the current tape position. The Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP boombox does not feature a second cassette player that is necessary to achieve the continuous play function without any user intervention. The cassette deck’s play head, record head, erase head, capstan, and pinch rollers should be cleaned after approximately every 10 hours of use with a wet or dry head cleaning tape. Personally, I recommend a Maxell 191018 Wet Audio Tape Head Cleaner for this application. The manufacturer also recommends that the tape heads be demagnetized periodically with a commercially available tape head demagnetizer. The tape head demagnetizer preserves optimum cassette playback operations and may be needed after approximately every 30 hours of cassette player usage. The Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP boombox is an excellent choice for all of your cassette playback and recording needs. When an audio CD is inserted into the CD player, the total number of tracks and total play time of the disc are displayed on the LCD display. For example, the LCD display will show the following: “19 78:28”. This particular audio compact disc has 19 tracks with a play time of 78 minutes and 28 seconds. When playback of the audio CD starts, the LCD will show the track number being played and the elapsed play time of the current track. Unfortunately, the LCD display does not show the remaining play time of the track or entire disc. The Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP Portable Stereo offers MP3 CD playback from your personal music collection. This boombox can play, shuffle, repeat, and provide program play modes of MP3 files and folders from a homemade CD-R/RW disc that is made on a customer’s computer. The built-in CD player can read and playback a maximum number of 255 MP3 files, 150 MP3 folders including the root folder, 8 directory levels, or 256 MP3 files and folders on a user created CD-R/RW disc from the customer’s own personal music library. The operating instructions specify that this product can play MP3 files on a CD-R/RW disc that conform to ISO9660 Level 1/Level2 or Joliet extension format discs recording standard. The Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP boombox can’t play MP3 encoded discs that are finalized inaccurately due to malfunctioning compact disc burning or recording software. The CD player will not play an MP3 folder if there is no MP3 file in it. This Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP Portable Audio System is compatible with the following MP3 CD bit rates, variable bit rates, constant bit rates, and sampling frequencies: (MPEG 1 Layer 3| 32-320 kbps |32/44.1/48 kHz, MPEG 2 Layer 3 |8-160 kbps |16/22.05/24 kHz, MPEG 2.5 Layer 3 |8-160 kbps |8/11.025/12 kHz). The recommended MP3 file compression constant bit rates for high quality audio playback are 44.1 KHz and 128 kbps. Sony does not supply any CD burning software to create CD-R/RW or MP3 CD audio discs with this portable audio product. The boombox is heavy and therefore, not easily portable because of it. The LCD display is small and should be backlit. I do wish it had even more amplifier power and an HD radio tuner built-in. The Power Drive Woofer lighting system is disabled when the sleep timer function is activated. The Power Drive Woofer becomes inactive when stereo headphones are connected to this boombox. The Power Drive Woofer on this model can be turned off, but the overall sound quality will be greatly diminished when the super bass woofer is disengaged. Of course, this Sony XPLOD boombox features a sturdy fold-down recessed black carry handle for reliable transport of this unit to another destination. The sturdy carry handle can be neatly pushed down and tucked away into the main unit when it is no longer needed or when the portable stereo is in a stationary position. The Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP boombox does not offer dual disc playback, DVD-Audio playback, DVD video playback, DVD recordable media, split-track audio compact disc and cassette playback, Blu-ray disc playback, playback of irregularly shaped audio discs, playback of audio discs encoded with various copyright protection schemes, playback of data compact discs, playback of video compact discs, Dolby B cassette noise reduction, motorized cassette door, full-logic tape transport controls, auto reverse recording, continuous cassette playback, chrome/metal tape playback, speaker balance control, detachable speakers, parametric equalizer, built-in electronic shock protection for the CD player, backlit LCD, digital clock, alarm clock, mute button, record timer, tape counter, compact disc recorder, Zune Dock, Sony Walkman MP3 Player Dock, Bluetooth music streaming, wireless internet capability, RCA Stereo Input Jack, external FM/AM antenna screw type connectors, 3.5mm Microphone Input Jack, built-in condenser microphone, or karaoke sing-along entertainment features.

You do not need to purchase any cable to connect your iPod to the Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP boombox. The 3.5mm stereo patch cable needed to make this connection between the stereo and your iPod is built-in to the Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP boombox. However, you will need a Y-audio stereo patch cable to connect a TV, DVD Player, CD Player, or VCR to this portable stereo. Unfortunately, I can’t recommend that you connect a Sirius/XM portable satellite radio tuner to the Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP boombox. The operating instructions and marketing specifications do not specify that this Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP Portable Stereo is Sirius/XM satellite radio ready or Sirius/XM satellite radio compatible. Sony does not list this Sony CFD-G700CP boombox as satellite radio ready or satellite radio compatible on its support website SonyStyle for this product. As a result, reception of satellite radio signals from a third party satellite radio service provider on the Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP boombox is outside the scope of normal product operation as defined by the manufacturer. The Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP boombox does not feature any built-in satellite radio tuner command and control facilities such as a Sirius/XM control module input jack, satellite radio antenna, or integrated satellite radio tuner. The Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP boombox can’t control, measure the signal strength, adjust the signal strength, or troubleshoot satellite radio signals that are input into this Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP Portable Stereo. However, it is possible to connect a portable satellite radio tuner’s RCA or 3.5mm Line Output Jack to the Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP boombox 3.5mm Line Input Jack. Moreover, some Sony customers may report that an optional third party satellite radio tuner plays perfectly well through the Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP boombox 5 driver powered speaker system. Nonetheless, it is equally plausible that there are other Sony customers with a Sirius/XM portable satellite radio tuner will report their utter disappointment, dissatisfaction, and disgust with the Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP boombox’s satellite radio reception capabilities. Personally, I believe that you are better off purchasing a satellite radio ready boombox for this satellite radio reception application. I recommend the Sirius Dock & Play Boombox SUB-X1 for all of your portable satellite radio reception needs in this regard. The manufacturer does not support satellite radio reception on the Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP boombox. The Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP Portable Stereo does not feature a dedicated phono input jack for connection to a turntable without a built-in phono pre-amp, extra speaker jacks to connect additional speakers, a built-in iPod dock to charge and offer menu system control of an attached iPod/ iPhone, or a USB 2.0 HOST Port to play MP3 music files from flash media devices. The Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP boombox’s 3.5mm Line Input Jack can be connected to the RCA Stereo Line Output Jack of a Sony PS-LX300USB turntable. You will need a Y-audio adapter such as the RadioShack Gold Series Audio Y-Adapter Model: 274-883 |Catalog #: 274-883 to make this connection. The Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP boombox does not feature a dedicated Phono input. This means that the Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP boombox does not feature a built-in phono preamp equalizer. It is possible to connect any turntable to the stereo line input jack on the Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP boombox as long as the component stereo turntable features a built-in phono preamp. The Sony PS-LX300USB turntable does feature a built-in phono preamp and user adjustable equalizer switch that enables this item to be compatible with any Sony portable boombox stereo that does not feature a dedicated phono input. The built-in phono preamp brings the audio output of the Sony PS-LX300USB turntable up to that of an ordinary line level input device such as a CD player or cassette deck, etc. For example, the Sony PS-LX300USB turntable’s built-in RCA line output cord can be connected to the black color-coded 3.5mm Line Input Jack on the Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP boombox with the use of a Y-audio adapter because the Sony PS-LX300USB turntable features a built-in phono preamp. The Sony PS-LX300USB turntable’s built-in PHONO/LINE EQ switch must be set to the LINE (EQ ON) position in order to hear sound from the connected Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP boombox stereo speaker system. However, if your turntable does not feature a built-in phono preamp, then you can’t connect it to this Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP boombox. Rest assured that you can connect your iPod’s 3.5mm Stereo Headphone Output Jack to the 3.5mm Auxiliary Line Input Jack on the Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP Personal Stereo System. In fact, the 3.5mm (1/8”) stereo mini cable needed to make this connection is built-in to the boombox. Optionally, you can also purchase an Apple Universal Dock for Apple iPod and iPhone Model:MC746LL/A or later model to connect your iPod or iPhone to the Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP boombox. You must connect the 3.5mm Line Output Jack on the Apple Universal Dock to the 3.5mm Line Input Jack on the Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP boombox with the included 3.5mm boombox stereo patch cable to complete all connections. However, if you need an iPod dockable portable stereo for the beach, then you can still purchase a high-performance Sony boombox with a built-in iPod/iPhone dock. Sony offers the following portable boombox stereos for your iPod docking needs. 1. Sony ZS-S4IPBLACK, 2. Sony ZS-S3IPBLACK, 3. Sony ZS-S2IPBLACK, and 4. Sony RDH-SK8IP. The Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP boombox does not feature a dedicated (REC OUT) 3.5mm analog, RCA Stereo, or S/PDIF digital Line Output Jack for connection to a component stereo power amplifier, A/V receiver, integrated amplifier, MP3 recorder, cassette recorder, CD recorder, DAT recorder, DCC recorder, or MD recorder with a corresponding 3.5mm, RCA Stereo, or Optical Digital Line Input Jack. It is not possible to play two different audio sources that are connected to the 3.5mm Line Input Jacks concurrently. The U.S. Federal Trade Commission (F.T.C.) rates the boombox’s stereo power amplifiers at 12 Watts total output power. The Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP boombox product dimensions are as follows: Width: 21-¾ inches, Height: 9-¾ inches, Depth: 14-5/8 inches (551 x 247 x 370 mm w/h/d), and Weight: 18 lbs. 9 oz. (8.4 kg) with D cell alkaline batteries installed. This product includes a one year parts and labor limited manufacturer warranty. The Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP boombox is UL Listed. The Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP boombox remembers the last radio station tuned and volume level when it’s powered off. This Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP boombox is reasonably priced for the audio quality and features that you get. Once you listen to this boombox, you will realize that Sony has redefined the boombox product category for the foreseeable future. The Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP Portable Stereo has a sturdy construction to it, and should last for many years with proper care. It is important to compare and contrast the Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP Portable Stereo’s feature set to its older competitive sibling, the Sony XPLOD CFD-G505 boombox. Both Sony XPLOD boomboxes are very close in terms of features, dominant sound performance, ultra modern-day boombox appearance, and total system weight. The Sony XPLOD boomboxes offer the same total amplifier output power at 20 Watts (RMS). Neither Sony XPLOD boombox offers a magnetically shielded speaker system. The Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP boombox offers superior sound quality compared to the Sony XPLOD CFD-G505BLACK boombox. The Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP boombox features a larger Power Drive Woofer than the other model. As a result, the Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP boombox produces bass output that is on par with much more expensive component stereo systems. The Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP Portable Stereo features two metal tweeters for better sound reproduction of vocals and high-pitched instruments. The Sony XPLOD CFD-G505 Portable Stereo does not feature tweeter drivers at all. There are some other key differences between the two models as well. The Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP boombox offers two 3.5mm Auxiliary Inputs (one main input and one backup input) for connection to additional optional audio components of your choice. However, the Sony XPLOD CFD-G505 Portable Stereo features only one 3.5mm AUX Line Input Jack for connection to an MP3 Player, Personal Computer, and TV, etc. The Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP boombox offers MP3 CD Playback and the Sony XPLOD CFD-G505 boombox does not. The Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP boombox’s remote commander provides access to preset tuner stations and CD tracks one station or track at a time. The Sony CFD-G700CP boombox’s remote commander does not include a numeric keypad. Conversely, the Sony XPLOD CFD-G505 boombox allows direct preset tuner station and CD track input with a numeric keypad on the supplied remote commander. Both Sony XPLOD boombox remote commanders can accept Energizer Lithium AA or AAA batteries as a DC power source. The Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP boombox is compatible with pro American DJ INC. lighting equipment. The Sony D-Light Sync Controller DLS-1 DJ lighting controller is an optional accessory for the Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP ultimate party machine boombox. The Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP boombox features built-in D-Light Sync technology. The Sony D-Light Sync Controller must be connected to the D-Light Sync Out jack that is located on the rear panel of the Sony CFD-G700CP boombox. The Sony D-Light Sync Controller DLS-1 must be connected to an optional American DJ D-LIGHT SYNC PAK STAGE LIGHTS to produce spectacular lighting effects for your next house party, dance party extravaganza, or any other suitable celebratory entertainment event. The Sony DLS-1 DJ lighting controller, acting in concert with the American DJ D-Light SYNC PAK STAGE LIGHTS, will react to the beats of the music playing and produce an awesome multi-color special effects lighting display from your incredible explosive deep bass producing Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP boombox. A party’s overall excitement level will be dramatically augmented and enhanced with the customer’s acquisition of the Sony D-Light Sync Controller DLS-1 and compatible American DJ Inc. disco stage lights lighting system. The original Sony factory part number for the DLS-1 D-Light Sync Controller is #A1156464A. The product specifications for the Sony D-Light Sync Controller DLS-1 are as follows: Product dimensions: 4-3/4” x 2-1/4” x 1-1/2” (118.2 x 54 x 35.6 mm), Power requirements: DC 4V, System Weight: 3/16 lb. 3 oz. (84 g including cable), and Product Warranty: one year parts and labor limited manufacturer warranty. The Sony XPLOD CFD-G505 boombox is not compatible with any professional DJ lighting equipment whatsoever. The Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP Portable Stereo’s supplied remote commander is powered by two AA alkaline batteries. However, the Sony XPLOD CFD-G505 boombox’s remote commander needs two AAA alkaline batteries to control the portable stereo from across the room. The Sony CFD-G505 Portable Stereo’s remote commander features a green circled AC ONLY Power button. The Sony CFD-G700CP Portable Stereo’s remote commander provides a solid green AC ONLY Power button. Both units provide a 27-Key remote commander to control the portable stereo from a short distance away. The Sony XPLOD boomboxes operate on 8 D cell alkaline batteries and they feature a detachable polarized AC power cord for stationary home use. Neither Sony XPLOD boombox has to be plugged in for it to work. You can take either Sony XPLOD boombox anywhere where portable audio equipment is an acceptable entertainment choice even if there is no power outlet available. Please note that the D cell batteries are optional and are not included with the Sony XPLOD boombox. The Sony XPLOD boombox does not feature a built-in battery for any mobile power requirement. I recommend Duracell Coppertop or Energizer Max D cell single-use alkaline batteries for maximum audio performance and battery life for the incredible XPLOD portable stereo systems. Additionally, I recommend Duracell Ultra Power AA or AAA alkaline batteries or Energizer Ultimate Lithium AA or AAA batteries for the supplied remote commander. The remote commander is compatible with NiMH (1.2V) rechargeable AA cell batteries as well. The battery compartment on the main unit consists of two rows of 4 DC positive and negative battery terminals for the placement of 8 D cell batteries inside. In general, the D cell batteries for either Sony XPLOD boombox should be replaced under the following conditions or circumstances: 1. The boombox does not power on. 2. The boombox shuts off during playback 3. The unit outputs poor or very low sound quality continuously 4. The Red LED OPR/BATT battery life indicator begins to blink continuously. A blinking battery life indicator generally provides the user enough time to replace the D cell batteries with new ones to avoid disruption of playback at an inconvenient time such as when using the unit outdoors in the park. The blinking LED OPR/BATT battery life indicator indicates that there is less than 20% of D cell battery power remaining and it is time for the user to take corrective replacement action as soon as possible. If the LED battery life indicator is blinking, it is time to replace the D cell alkaline batteries now or as soon as you can but at your earliest convenience. The D cell batteries must be installed in reverse polarity order inside the XPLOD boombox battery compartments. Unfortunately, there is no definitive answer as to the actual length of time that the D cell batteries will last. The AA or AAA batteries in the remote commanders should be replaced when they can no longer operate the main units from a short distance away or the portable stereos fail to respond to remote commands. AC power is also available for each Sony XPLOD stereo system. A detachable, polarized AC power cord is supplied with the boombox stereo. The factory supplied AC power cord is approximately 66-inches (5.5ft., 1676.4mm, or 167.64cm) in length for both XPLOD boombox units. The extended power cord length provides for convenient ergonomic placement of the Sony XPLOD boombox on a desk, nightstand, table or any other indoor stable flat surface that you can think of. If you ever lose your AC power cord for either unit, you can easily purchase a replacement AC power cord for your high-performance Sony XPLOD boombox from the Best Buy Parts Store or the Sony Parts and Accessories Retail Sales Department. The D cell batteries are automatically disengaged as a direct current power source when the XPLOD boomboxes are plugged into a wall outlet. The AC power cord on either XPLOD boombox can be connected to a wall outlet directly, power strip, or a power surge protector, if desired. All alkaline batteries should be removed from the XPLOD boombox main units and the supplied remote commanders if the portable stereo systems will not be used for an extended period of time to avoid damage from battery acid leakage issues. Both Sony XPLOD portable stereos are compatible with the following D cell 1.5V battery types: carbon-zinc, alkaline, and NiMH rechargeable batteries (1.2V 10,000mAh recommended). Neither Sony XPLOD boombox can be powered by a car battery, RV, campgrounds, or boat directly. The Sony XPLOD boomboxes do not offer the requisite 12V DC IN Jack for this purpose. However, it is possible to power both Sony XPLOD boomboxes from a car battery with a DC-to-AC power inverter. If you are determined to power the XPLOD boombox units from a car battery, then you can look into purchasing a DC-to-AC power inverter for the Sony XPLOD Portable Stereos. A power inverter converts DC battery power into standard AC current to supply power to portable audio electronics within a vehicle. A high quality power inverter incorporates surge protection, allows for safe engine startup, overload protection, low battery shutdown, and is compatible with a vehicle that has a 12 Volt battery. Sony does not provide any specifications with respect to compatible power inverters for this Sony stereo system. Only the supplied detachable AC power cord or equivalent aftermarket replacement cord can be plugged into either unit’s rear panel AC line input jack. The Sony XPLOD boomboxes are not compatible for AC power use outside the U.S., and Canada out of the box. Additional electrical conversion equipment is required for this international travel application. Use of this product outside of the intended domestic market may work, but can’t be supported by the manufacturer. However, it is possible for the Sony XPLOD boomboxes to work outside of the U.S. and Canada with the use of a Step Up/Down Voltage Converter/Transformer. The voltage transformer converts voltages from 110-120 Volts to 220-240 Volts so that electronic devices intended for the U.S. market can be powered abroad. The Sony XPLOD Portable Stereos also feature the following power output and system specifications: 28-30 Watts AC Power Consumption, bottom panel battery compartment, 7 battery compartment case screws, 6 bottom panel case screws, 5 rear panel case screws, 4 case screws underneath system carry handle, serial number sticker inside the battery compartment, place of manufacture sticker, bottom panel battery compartment installation diagram, DC positive/negative battery terminals, 120V, 60Hz AC Power Rating for the main unit, 12V DC Power Rating for the main unit, 3V DC Power Rating for the supplied remote commander, black/silver/red system color scheme, and red/white/black/green front panel lettering. Both Sony XPLOD boomboxes offer multiple printed circuit board internal layouts, IC system controller units on main circuit board, ABS plastic casing, and spectacular modular boombox panel construction. Neither Sony XPLOD boombox features an auto power-off function or Mute button. The Digital Tuner on either XPLOD boombox offers 30 FM/AM Station Presets (20 FM Stereo Presets, 10 AM Mono Presets) and Fixed FM/AM (.1 MHz/10 kHz) Channel Step Tuning. The Sony CFD-G700CP boombox features Resume Play for the built-in CD Player. The Sony CFD-G505 boombox’s CD Player does not offer Resume Play for return to the same chapter audio book playback needs. Both Sony XPLOD boombox provide auto input source recognition when a Tape or CD Play button is pressed. Both XPLOD boombox units feature mechanical tape transport controls on the main unit only including: Record, Play, Rewind, Fast Forward, Stop/Eject, and Pause buttons, Red LED OPR/BATT indicator, D cell battery polarity installation diagram, 3-button press complete factory reset procedure, MADE IN CHINA imprint, tactile dots on CD/Cassette Play buttons, large system recessed carry handle, bass-reflex ports, 4 bottom panel mechanical feet, D cell battery removal factory reset procedure, built-in AC power transformer, auto-switching AC/DC power supply, double-insulated C8 inlet connector AC power cord, thermal overload shutdown protection circuit, system air vents for proper cooling, DC-to-AC power inverter compatibility for boombox use on a boat, FM transmitter compatibility, Manual Tuning controls, Preset Tuning controls, Mode button, Sound button, Display/Enter/Memory button, Radio Band Button, Power button, Sleep button, Line button, Phase Locked Loop (PLL) Synthesized Tuner, FM Band Stereo Reception, FM Band Mono Reception, AM Band Mono Reception, FM Band IF Tuned Circuit, AM Band IF Tuned Circuit, preset radio station retention after loss of battery or AC power, preset station replacement option, automatic tuning storage system, nonvolatile system memory, Reverse Skip/Search, Forward Skip/Search, Play/Pause, and Stop audio disc transport controls, disc transport controls on remote commander including: Play, Pause, Stop, Forward Skip/Search, and Reverse Skip/Search, AMS Music Search Sensor, RMS Program, Shuffle, and Repeat CD Play Modes, Program Play cancelation options, single-disc playback, 2-channel stereo CD Playback, CD Player Frequency Response: 20-20,000 Hz, CD Player Wow and Flutter: below measurable limit, 8X oversampling digital filter, CD Pivot Placement Holder, repeat single track, repeat all tracks, repeat tracks in random order, and repeat tracks in Program Play CD playback modes, repeat play cancel option, Shuffle Play cancel option, cassette recording off 3.5mm Line Input source component, 4 track, 2-channel Cassette Recorder, Cassette Player Frequency Response: 70-13,000 Hz, single-direction cassette playback, single-cassette deck, factory measured D cell battery life runtime, combination play/record head, magnetic erase head, cassette erasure, pinch roller, capstan, tape speed adjustment screw, fast winding cassette mechanism, cassette door, cassette compartment spring, cassette compartment case screws, sub belt tape pulley system, motorized tape travel, U.L.

The Sony CFD-G700CP boombox can only store up to 15 tracks in program memory while the Sony CFD-G505 boombox can store 20 tracks in RMS program memory. The Sony CFD-G505 boombox can display the remaining track time, remaining disc time, and remaining tracks on the audio disc in the LCD. Unfortunately, the Sony CFD-G700CP boombox can only display the current track number and elapsed track play time on a standard audio CD in the LCD. Both Sony XPLOD boomboxes feature a Full Auto Stop in tape playback mode. Neither Sony XPLOD boombox features a built-in CD Recorder, iPod/iPhone Dock, microphone jack, condenser microphone, S/PDIF optical or coaxial digital input or output jacks, speaker balance control, backlit LCD, extra speaker jacks, external FM/AM antenna inputs, PA system functionality, karaoke sing-along feature set, USB 2.0 Port, Phono input, 12V DC IN Jack, Preamp Output Jack for connection to a third party power amp, Sirius/XM portable satellite radio tuner input jack, guitar/musical instrument amp, custom equalizer sound modes, P.D.W. bass emphasis on the 3.5mm stereo headphone jack, DVD Recordable Media Playback, Blu-ray Disc Playback, Auto-Reverse Tape Playback, Auto-Reverse Cassette Recording, Continuous Tape Playback, tape counter, alarm clock, system time clock, timer recording capabilities. The Sony XPLOD boomboxes feature 5 Preset Sound Modes (5 Preset EQ Curves including a FLAT setting to enhance classical music for the CFD-G505 and ROCK, DANCE, SALSA, REGGAETON, and FLAT for the CFD-G700CP. The Power Drive Woofer on both units features 3 Bass Reinforcement Settings. The Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP boombox features a longer FM Band telescopic whip antenna than the Sony XPLOD CFD-G505BLACK Portable Stereo. The Sony CFD-G700CP boombox features a protective slide out plastic cover over the 3.5mm Line Input Jacks to shield them from an inclement weather event. The Sony CFD-G505 boombox does not provide any protective cover over its 3.5mm Line Input Jack as it is exposed to the natural elements whenever the unit is located outdoors. The LCD clock display features between the two XPLOD boomboxes are not the same with respect to audio disc playback. For example, the Sony XPLOD CFD-G505 boombox can’t display MP3 CD ID3 Tag information or CD Text while the remaining play time of the track currently playing is depicted in the LCD. However, the Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP Portable Stereo can show MP3 CD File ID3 Tag information and CD Text data in addition to the elapsed running time of the track currently playing and the total pay time of the audio disc. It is my opinion that the Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP boombox offers similar sound quality to a stereo system with large floor standing Hi-Fi tower loudspeakers attached. Nevertheless, the Sony XPLOD CFD-G505 Portable Stereo is the best audio that you ever heard from a traditional battery powered boombox. The Power Drive Woofer on both models can be turned off, but the overall sound quality will be diminished significantly on either unit when the discretely powered super bass woofer is disengaged. The Sony XPLOD boomboxes feature a 3.5mm Stereo Headphone Jack to accommodate private listening sessions on demand. Sony MDR (Micro Dynamic Receiver) Series Extra Bass, DJ Style, or Studio Monitor Stereo Headphones should be used to obtain the best possible private listening session results on both units. You can archive your favorite FM Band music or AM Band talk radio programs to cassette for time-shift recording purposes. The Sony XPLOD boomboxes features a single cassette deck that allows you to record off the built-in digital FM/AM Tuner, single-disc CD Player, or any portable audio component including a TV, cable box (TV channel audio only) or computer that is connected to the 3.5mm (1/8”) AUX Line Input Jack. It is possible to record Pandora Internet Radio or AOL Radio to cassette from your PC’s 3.5mm Line Output Jack. You must use Type I normal bias (ferric-oxide) cassettes for this application. Personally, I recommend ruggedly built Sony HF Series 90-minute cassettes, Model: 5C90HFL, for best cassette recording results. The Sony XPLOD boomboxes built-in cassette recorder is compatible with any brand of Type I normal bias cassette for playback or recording of your cassette library. Stay away from cheap no name brand cassettes or tapes longer than 120-minutes in length except for very long playback or continuous recording operations. AC power should always be used for best recording results and to conserve D cell alkaline battery power. The manufacturer recommends that the cassette deck’s combination playback/record head, erase head, pinch roller, and capstan be cleaned with a wet or dry type head cleaning cassette after approximately every 10 hours of use to maintain high quality playback and recording sessions. Consumers can also purchase a commercially available tape head demagnetizer to preserve optimum cassette operations after approximately every 30 hours of cassette playback. If you intend to use either Sony XPLOD boombox with senior citizens, I think this is a poor use for a Sony XPLOD boombox. It is my personal experience that senior citizens detest bass notes output from a subwoofer. As a result, I would suggest buying the boombox with the least amount of deep bass performance, which is the Sony CFD-G505BLACK boombox.
