Denver 8-in-1 CD Cassette Player Retro Wooden Record Player HiFi System – 3 Speed Vinyl Turntable & Cassette With CD Player, FM/AM Radio, MP3 USB Recording, AUX IN And Line Out – MCR-50

Before I ordered this music centre I read a lot of the reviews about it on here...and wasnt too sure whether I should buy it. However, I bit the bullet and ordered one. It arrived the very next day which was excellent service, and when I opened the box I was very pleasantly surprised. It has that vintage retro look, in wood not plastic, which I like, and having had a cursory look at the set up manual (men dont read manuals!) I found it was a very simple task to get the centre working, as long as you remember to switch it on at the back of the machine! The remote control is a bonus, which I have found to be so easy to operate. All the options...HiFi, radio, CD and tape all work perfectly. It gets a bit of getting used to waiting for the toner arm to drop on the HiFi unit, but the sound quality is excellent for the price paid, and though there is no treble/bass option, there are settings for different music styles which compensates. I also like the dial tuning on the radio, reminded me of my youth when all radios required manual tuning...none of this modern pre-set station selection.I've only had the music centre for 2 days, but my initial impression is that it is a quality machine which will certainly satisfy my need to be able to play my vinyl and CDs again. If you're looking for a good quality value for money music centre, I'd recommend this one...it sounds as good as it looks!Just a quick note to point out that some who have bought this have complained that when playing a record, the deck switches off before the end of the record. This is because there is an auto-stop function which assumes every record is of the same duration. If you switch the auto-stop function off, (the switch is next to the lever that raises the toner arm) the record will play to the end. Hope this helps.

What a great 5-in-1 system this is.The CD player and the record player are great - so good to hear some of my (very) old vinyl again. I haven't tried the cassette player yet, but I don't think I have any to play anymore :-(The sound from in-built speakers is much better than I expected, (and I've added a couple more so it's even betterer :-) ) and the overall look and quality is excellent.The radio is the only reason I gave 4 not 5 for 'easy to use', but it's not a criticism of this device - it's just I'm so out of practice with a rotary tuner - everything these days is 'auto-tune' or pre-set stations, so I think it should maybe make the manual tuning a bit more explicit in the description, especially for the 'younger buyer' who may never have seen or used one before. I know my kids thought it was some kind of novelty thing until I explained ALL radios used to be made this way!!On the plus side though, it did take me back to the days of listening to Radio Caroline and Radio Jackie (North) in my teenage bedroom!! Ahh, carefree days of no bills to pay, or work, or kids..........It's .worth the money just for that!Absolutely fabulous product - I would heartily recommend

charming vintage aesthetic and covers a wide range of functions, from playing vinyl and cassettes to FM/AM radio, CDs, and USB recording. The sound quality is decent for casual listening, though it might lack the depth that more advanced systems offer. The compact design and multiple input options are handy, but the controls could be a bit more intuitive. Overall, it's a good choice for those who enjoy the retro look and the versatility of an all-in-one system without needing high-end audio

Downsizing my HiFi set-up following a move to an apartment, three of the separates of which had had their day anyway. I retained the amplifier and speakers as the new unit, thoughtfully, has line out sockets. The setup of the unit was straightforward and soon tested out four functions - record deck, cd, radio and tape. I did find that there was some performance improvement after a short bedding in period of use. In general use, the unit is self-contained and the quality of sound very satisfactory. I did appreciate the added sound quality from switching the output to the HiFi speakers when using cassette tapes and for special other outputs I wished to listen to with a critical ear, but there is little to criticize in the performance overall from a unit of this kind. I have yet to test out the usb facility and the recording function but anticipate no less performance and ease of use. In short, a fine piece of equipment which more than adequately fulfils my requirements. Good value.

I read reviews of all the current all-in-one sound systems for sale. I was up and down in making a choice but finally went for the light wood option of this model. Have to say I was pleasantly surprised.Its great.Unpacked easily, tried the CD player first and got to grips with the sound - have settled for the rock option for the moment which has a reasonable bass and is loud enough without distortion. Yes the CD holder is a little wobbly but aren't they all? Just be gentleI then put on a really old vinyl - the original My Fair Lady from the stage version of 1956!!! I kid you not.It was perfect - not a bump, not a skip. I have to say I bought a cleaning set with the system and it seemed to pick up all the dust and hair . I suggest you clean your vinyls before use. The record player has a manual aspect to it but that's part of going old school, along with the radio dials.One thing I will mention is that the manual advises the removal of the turntable transit screw. We had a good look for it - the quick start guide clarifies that it is no longer required!When recording from CD to USB you can choose between recording just one track or the whole CD.The remote is effective once you are familiar with the buttons.My only regret is that I forgot to check if this system had bluetooth capabilites. I should perhaps have gone up to the 9-in1 version. But that's on me.Thankfully so far everything is working well, the sound is good and it looks fantastic. I couldn't be more pleased. It was a great buy for the price
