Techmoan | REVIEW: Panasonic RX-D55 - Possibly the last half-decent Cassette Boombox...in the world @Techmoan | Uploaded 4 years ago | Updated 1 day ago
In this video I’m taking a look at an old school Panasonic cassette boombox that’s still being sold new today (in some countries). If you want a new portable cassette and CD player in 2020 - it’s far from perfect, but it may be your last best option.

CORRECTION: Turns out the USB power supply does remain on when the device is active in any mode other than cassette - it’s just the data connection that’s deactivated. So you could use a lower power USB powered bluetooth receiver connected to the media port.
CHEESE SANDWICH FAQ
Q) Why is there a picture of a cheese sandwich on screen at the beginning?
A) A while ago I coined the phrase ‘A cheese sandwich video’ to describe a simple video that’s exactly what it is and nothing more - just like a cheese sandwich is a sandwich containing cheese.
A cheese sandwich video is simpler video that doesn’t take weeks to assemble. It’s usually a brief demonstration of one item.
If you see a cheese sandwich image pop up at the start of a video - it's a sign to expect a less complicated and elaborate video. Sometimes all a product needs (or deserves) is a simple demonstration - and that’s where the ‘cheese sandwich‘ video comes in.
