Introduction
The GPX BCD1806 boombox offers a good selection of functions in an economical package, making it perfect for dorm rooms, gatherings, and outdoor picnics. The simplicity of this stereo system is a characteristic of GPX. Six simple buttons are located on the front of the boombox, which also has an AM/FM tuner and a CD player. These buttons allow for rapid and simple system operation. The repeat play and song skip/search features are available once users insert a CD, CD-R, or CD-RW into the top tray. The integrated AM/FM tuner allows listeners to catch a baseball game or their preferred NPR show as well as check basic track information.
The stereo speakers in the system produce great music quality and have mesh metal grilles for fashionable protection. A modern curving chassis that offers a wonderful alternative to conventional boxy models houses the speakers and other components. A detachable AC power cord is one of the additional features. The BCD1806 utilizes a carrying handle for simple transport and runs independently on eight “C” batteries (not included), which is appropriate for a portable player. The BCD1806 has dimensions of 9.5 by 4.7 by 9.1 inches (W x H x D) and comes with a 90-day parts and labor guarantee.

- If the lens is still dirty, use a cotton swab. Start in the middle of the lens and work to the outside edge.
