5 out of 5 stars Best Ipod Dock/Compact Stereo for the money   September 1, 2010
J. Medina (Fresno, CA)
I was searching for a nice Ipod docking stereo for months and as soon as I saw this one I bought it on the spot. This Panasonic Stereo System is compact, sleek, and stylish. The sound quality with an Ipod is excellent. It even has a sliding vertical CD compartment in the front, which is really nice. Overall, this Panasonic stereo is the most bang for your buck.

This stereo is super for the money! Very sleek and modern looking, doesn't take up much room.
Using this for a second stereo system just for my kitchen, sound is quite good for such a small and compact unit! Would recommend this highly!


2 out of 5 stars Don't buy this for a wake-up call !!!!   August 19, 2010

Sleek, stylish, and everything a techno-geek wants for his/her iPod. But, if you want a wake-up call, FORGET IT! Amazon advertises this unit as having "alarm function." This falls VERY short of anything close to an alarm clock. After trying for 5-days to get the "alarm" function to work, it didn't. I tried calling Panasonic Tech Support, just to find-out, there is NO support for this item...other than, "read the instruction manual"...which is poorly written at that.

So, for those of you who want a desk-top stereo to play your iPod through, this might be the unit for you. But, if you need a wake-up call for work, like I did, you'll never get there on time.



3 out of 5 stars Less Than It Should Be   August 17, 2010

Needing a new radio I purchased this from a local electronic store, mostly based upon the reviews I'd read here. It's a good item and I kinda like it, but a few things seem to have been left out of the other reviews.

First, it's nice and compact. A little over a foot long and less than six inches thick, it can easily fit into nearly any space you want it to. The sound is good and the AM/FM antennas work great; we recently had some storms here in NY and it maintained the signal fine. The main issues I have are with the mp3 player and the remote control.

Thanks to the smaller size of mp3s, I routinely burn multiple albums onto a disc to save space. The LCD display can't show multiple files or folders so you can select them; you have to know the track number you're looking for to find it via the remote. But if there are multiple albums on the disc... yep- you gotta skip through every single one of the preceding individual tracks to find the one you want instead of just being able to pull it up.

And speaking of the remote control...it sucks! It has a circular D-pad for controlling menus but it doesn't do much. When an iPod is docked the remote can call up the menu, change settings, etc. The problem is that it can't scroll through anything; if you have a fair amount of songs loaded the remote can only move through one item at a time. Ex- if you've got ten cds on your pod you'll have to hit the button ten times to get to the last one. Same goes for the tracks- looking for the twentieth song on a cd means you're gonna be a minute pulling it up. The volume and fast forward/rewind controls are fine, but unless you're all the way across the room and have your selection already cued up the remote is pretty useless for the iPod.

These are two glaring problems that shouldn't exist in 2010. Remotes are for convenience and this thing is worthless for the iPod and playing mp3s. The mp3 player itself is fine but can't be properly controlled- which are the main reasons I bought it. If you just want a radio to sit within arm's reach and don't mind setting your iPod by hand while its docked, then this'll be good for you.
