RE: Continuing saga of Creative Labs.
Again, you're saying that my/our money isn't as good as the next persons. If you'd bother to Google, you'd see that I am not the only person having problems with Creative. As of now they appear to be a derelict company. So far we've had one person claiming that her product works but she wwill not offer us the steps she takes to make it so, which in my estimation means that she may very possibly be fabricating. Then we have somebody else saying essentially that "there must be a solution." I have a right to warn people against buying what for us as blind people may in fact be garbage. If you don't like it, throw me off the list. I've spen three solid days trying to find a workaround. -Original Message- From: pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of DJ DOCTOR P Sent: Thursday, December 03, 2009 5:28 PM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: Continuing saga of Creative Labs.

Re: cd boom box recommendations
Okay, the RXED50 Panasonic model is fully accessible, the clock takes a bit of getting used to but it can be set. Go to http://www.blindcooltech.com for the review. Go to the Panasonic web site for further information on the model. This "Power Blaster" is probably the best sounding boombox that you'll most likely hear, has CD, 2 feather-touch controlled cassette deks - the recording deck has AC bias and erase and records extremely well for a portable unit - am/FM radio with 24 presets, full remote control, sleep/play/record timers, clock, EQ etc. I believe that - for people living in the united States - Panasonic wasn't selling the model directly into the country though this may have changed, other list members reported that they ordered the model in from Canada.
