Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I purchased this sleek Panasonic Stereo System primarily to use with my IPOD and the IPhone that I have pre-ordered. I am using it in the kitchen and it takes up very little space on the counter since it is only 3-4 inches deep. For it's size, it produces a rich sound and the clarity of the speakers is superb. It has a full-function remote with buttons for many features that I'm sure I'll never use that others might appreciate. In addition to the remote, there are buttons for the main functions on top of the system that can be easily memorized (by placement) and accessed.
After attaching the AM and FM antennas, the various stations were easy to preset and sounded good.I have yet to play the CD player, however with the IPOD, I don't really plan on using it much.The system can be mounted to the wall if you want to put holes in your walls and have the power chord hanging down from it, however it takes up so little space, I didn't really feel the need.
The system looks high-tech and it sounds great.The bass sounds much better than you would expect given the slimness of the speakers.It has an AUX-In port on the back of it if you have an MP3 player as well.The only minor negative is accessing the IPOD dock.The first thing you need to do is hit the IPOD button which slides the front panel to the right exposing the IPOD dock.Once open, it has a lever that needs to be pushed and then it tilts out toward you for easy removal.While not difficult, it all takes time which I'm a little concerned about when I get my IPhone and I hear it ring. If you leave the IPOD dock open the silver CD portion of the front panel covers more than half of the right speaker and there is a noticable difference in sound.
All in all, I'm very happy with it and when not in use, it just sits there and looks cool!If you are only concerned about the quality of sound, I'd suggest a boom box with larger speakers such as the Sony MHC-EC69i Mini Hi-Fi Shelf System which is much cheaper, has an additional 60 watts and has a deeper bass sound that fills up a room (I have one of these as well).
7/19/10 UPDATE: Received my pre-ordered IPhone 4 and it is not compatible with the dock in the Panasonic.It displays "NODEVICE" despite being snuggly fit into place.Plan B: Buy an IPOD dock and an audio cable and plug it into the AUX port on the back of the unit.Still sounds great!
