Summary: make sure you can return it without penalty
Comment: I bought this unit based on rave reviews. Well, just make sure you can return it without a restocking fee if you don't like the sound. Maybe I am just too picky. I don't know.
The sound was dull and muddy on my CDs. It was better from the radio but still not what I was used to on a real stereo. When my Technic stereo system died after many years, I decided to downsize. It was a mistake. But it was not a lot of money. I guess you get what you pay for.
Customer Rating: Summary: Nice system w/ a few downfalls
Comment: I've been looking for an XM ready stereo system for a while, but finding one with cd, tape, and MP3 capabilites is rare. Overall this system is great, but lacks essential controls on the main unit, lose or break your remote and your screwed. Great sound tho, I would definately recomend this to anyone looking for an XM ready unit. Great buy.
Customer Rating: Summary: Somewhat system Powerfull Bass
Comment: This system I bught it one year ago its great and for its little design its has powerful bass although you cant feel it when you are close to the system.I also like how you can change cds wile playing another one.Cons it doesnt have enough buttons on the main system to control it you have to have the remote control to do everything.Also there is not enough light show on it only on the volume knob so you cant see what you are doing at night.The tape deck doesnt sound good when you put it to high volume.The radio gets great reception.Overall i gave it four stars because of its light show and tape deck.Next time if panasonic doest do a good job I am gonna go with jvc wich has better stereos.
Customer Rating: Summary: very good sound for the money
Comment: This stereo system is easy to operate and provides very good sound reproduction. For the money it is an excellent buy.
Customer Rating: Summary: great for the price!!!
Comment: With so few multi-CD players available, and the fair pricing, this can't be beat. Very good sound-quality, plenty of features, and it really fulfills all its promises. I would buy another.
