OT: 7" LCD MP3/MP4 player, JPG viewer, and clock radio: $99 @ CC

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 
Just thought I'd bounce this one off fellow tech geeks in this forum.

CC has this device on sale in the Sunday ad. (Philips AJL308)

It plays DivX and MP4 movies, MP3 and WMA audio, displays JPG photoshows (with optional MP3 "soundtrack"), and is also a clock radio device. (It's actually classified as a clock radio that has those other features added.) I thought as just a JPG photo frame it was pretty cool, but with all the other features, it seemed like a geek must-have item. According to the Philips site, the "windowed" pictures are in clock radio mode. When viewing a movie or photo slideshow, it's a 7" widescreen. Expandable via SD card and can hook up to an external hard drive via USB.

Has anyone seen or purchased one?
I couldn't get a straight answer from CC on whether it would be subject to the 15% restock fee if I wasn't happy with it.

Just a thought: It runs off 9VDC and they provide an AC adapter. (no internal 9V battery, from what I could find on the site) 1280X720 resolution and one of those universal DVD player power sources makes this one heck of a cool (and large) MP3/MP4 player. It's not clear whether a stored MP3 can be chosen for wakeup alarm.

I don't know how reliable the source is, but the one person who reviewed it on CC's site mentioned that it does not have a headphone jack. This seems like a pretty strange omission on a device with so many audio features.

I saw that.
CC's site mentions waking to an MP3, but the manual doesn't say how to select it. (as opposed to buzzer or "nature sounds")
If headphones really became a necessity, Ratshack has plenty of jacks in stock.
I can see the desire to use headphones in an office.
My employer bans listening to music everywhere, since the Associates on the floor aren't supposed to listen to it while they're working. (and it would be VERY dangerous to be an i-zombie with all the fork trucks) Wouldn't be useful at work for me.

Kinda a retro looking black?


If it was purple mist or mermaid green, cow would have to buy a dozen of em.

I bought that LCD alarm clock and enjoy it. Thanks for the post.

FYI: The resolution is 480x234. Not bad. But I do like that is supports Divx and XVid movies since my son likes to watch movies in my room and this way I can still watch what I want.

Here is the datasheet: http://www.p4c.philips.com/files/a/a...37_pss_aen.pdf
Thanks,

Rick
