night and day difference.. you will see..

@@southphillylilly he is a spoiled rotten child trust me..

@ I have no doubt

felt the same as you on that.. a shame really..

yea.. not a fan after listening to this.. i think they are discounting these due to the horrible sound.. not worth the normal asking price.. $50 bucks maybe.. cool looking though..

Maybe, but I like the way their models sound, very early Boombox style. Even if it's lower quality components they have a unique nostalgic sound signature.

Note: I have not heard this model in person. Try to play higher quality files or source music.

nothing beats the bass of the JVC.. outside of the Sharp GX-M10 or the newer version Sharp GX-BT9X with Bluetooth.. this speaker is more in line with the Panasonic if i were to compare.. and thats not a bad thing.. definitely worth the cash..

i didnt move the remote sensor.. the hole i put in on the bottom was for the remote sensor for the Bluetooth module.. i no longer have the boombox.. gave it to a close friend.. he loves it.. i have made allot of advances since i posted this.. like using a latch switching circuit instead of a physical on/off switch.. plus i plan on incorporating Lithium Ion batteries in the near future to these awesome classics.. cool that you bought the JVC new.. it's the last of the quality RV-NB series Kabooms.. in your case you can just use a Bluetooth dongle from Amazon to achieve what i did without needing to do electrical modding.. just buy one of these.. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B4JTKF6T/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 good luck!

Would you ship too Canada??

No it doesn't have a built-in radio basically if you want to listen to the radio you could do Bluetooth and it does have USB so you can hook up a stick and it does have inputs if you want to run a CD player with a cord you can run 3.5 chord to hook up anything you want

Will this particular unit it is a Bluetooth speaker but it does have a 3.5 input so you can hook up a radio you can hook up a CD player you can hook up a cassette player they have Jacks to hook up anything to it the most interesting thing is that whatever Source you hook into you can actually record onto USB

As far as plugging it in it does have a built-in lithium ion battery as far as I know basically when the unit is full you want to unplug it you don't want to leave it plugged in all the time because you're leaving the battery at 100% capacity and with lithium ion batteries they like to be charged up and then used the worst thing you can do to any battery is keep it fully charged all the time unless it's some kind of lead acid battery those are the only batteries that like to be at 100% all the time

@@davidbrigham8319 thought those were sold out.. got a link? Ahh actually they still are available.. pretty pricey too.. they are o.k. but like Lasonic boomboxes.. they are a bit under built lol.. like 85% quality.. still a nice edition to protect the radio..

Going to order one on Amazon 75.98.👍

@@davidbrigham8319 need more context.. is it the model that has a lithium ion rechargeable battery in it? If so it comes with a charger.. it's shown in the video..

Has the rechargeable battery and a USB charger cord and remote control.

I contacted lasonic and they sent me a 5 volt USB charger adapter for it. They said they don't send the adapter with them out anymore.

mines packed up atm.. i'll check it in a bit to see if it does the same.. not a bad boombox.. but if they just put a little more effort in build quality it would be a 1st place winner.. but it's basically a cash grab on the name..

Thanks for the response I schedule a exchange from Amazon for another one thanks I will let you know how it goes 😊👍.

Also I was wondering it doesn't hold a charge battery is dead the next day even after a charge the night before.🤔 I wish it came with a damn owner's manual.

@@davidbrigham8319 there is a switch in the back of the boombox.. it's not labeled.. that is a AC/DC switch.. if after you turn off the boombox and the LCD display is still on.. then you need to switch it off in the back.. this is like all Lasonic 931's no matter what generation.. thats the reason why your battery is dead the next day.. pretty silly design by Lasonic.. hope this helps!

well putting it up at the end of the week on eBay.. since the buyer of the GE Blockbuster was very happy with the GE.. i'll put a link for it when it goes live.. good luck!

got some never forget memories too when i got my first boombox.. there's somethin special about these portable stereo's back in the day.. they were just so cool..

@@kyfeam Definitely!

nothin wrong with that.. i view it more as a convenience.. i did experiment in my older videos trying to modernize classic boomboxes.. but now i just add Bluetooth and a Lithium ion battery pack.. but not to mint condition or special boomboxes that have gathered a following.. like the GE Blockbuster or Realistic SCR-8.. i also have a Sharp VZ-2000 that will be reassembled soon.. with no mods.. and a real cool 1979 Sharp GF-8585 with the original box and original Sharp batteries! but lesser known older boomboxes i will mod..

@@Superdude881 fair enough.. still learning my dude.. in future videos comparing sound between 2 boomboxes.. I will shut up..

even if he did not talk any seeming change in sound be moot point

@@tbone8723 eBay name is the same as my RUclips name..

retiring out west on a plot of land.. will be putting a shed on it just for repairing old school boomboxes/stereo receivers.. so yea at some point next summer i will be in the boombox repair service.. love bringing these classics back to life..

@@kyfeam when you start you announce it so we know about you. Good luck on your retirement, I should join you in a decade. Again my respect for your electronic skills.

@@Erik0207 lol had the parts for a year.. finally had an opportunity to dedicate time to it.. it's to beautiful a classic to let sit unrepaired.. glad you got to see it come back to life!

When I've used it I played it at a decent volume I would say the battery can last anywhere from 6 to 10 hours depending upon the volume level

no.. bit to pricey for me.. plus seen the video Techmoan did on the Brooklyn.. and it looked pretty cheaply made.. the Manhattan on the other hand is actually quite well built.. it certainly better built then most retro inspired boomboxes these days.. highly recommend grabbin one if you can..

@@kyfeam I guess they used the money they saved by not giving it a tuner, tape deck or CD player, and put it into the sound quality

@@80s_Boombox_Collector sounds about right.. would rather have that than items i no longer use like CD player or USB/MicroSD MP3 player.. i use Bluetooth and RUclips music on my phone.. so much more convenient.. i know us old schoolers love cassettes.. and i do.. but you really cant beat Bluetooth streaming.. technology is a wonderful thing sometimes..

Personally I own the Brooklyn Boombox I have one currently I bought one when they first came out I wasn't really too impressed the number one issue with the Brooklyn Boombox is a parasitic drain on the battery. What you have to do is charge up the battery and then unplug it do you plug it in when you're ready to use it otherwise it will drain the battery without even using the item. The only other issue with the Brooklyn boomboxes not enough volume

@@kimballlewis5030 So you have to leave it plugged in all the time?

yea they get sticky.. i just use rubbing alcohol to get all the stickiness off then repaint them.. looks great after.. i made a red white and blue Kaboom.. looks sweet.. might make a vid on it at some point.. glad your still enjoying your beast!

Your welcome!

gave the unit away to a down on their luck co-worker.. so sadly cannot check that for you..

@@kyfeam Appreciate the reply,thanks.I went online and searched for the manual and won loaded it and its all there's when its charging the light which is blue blinks and when its fully charged it will remain constant thanks.I shoot music vids and just need it for shoots either of sound or for aesthetics, its a Wonderfull looking item

No it does not have a battery gauge. If you plan on taking it somewhere you would just plug it in and make sure it's topped off when the battery is full the light will stay on constantly blue on the back
