Customer Ratings & Reviews

This Panasonic Stereo system with cd player. receiver and speakers is just perfect for us. Our old system finally but the dust and we needed a new one for our collection of 200 + cds. Great sound and reasonable price.

Easy to assemble easy to follow instructions seems to be very good sound and tones. Very happy with purchase.

The Panasonic SC-PM700 really surprised me most with the sound richness and bass, especially when playing higher quality CDs. My primary motivating for getting the SC-PM700 was to play my large collection (200+) of CDs, mostly from the 80s and 90s, which I hadn't listened to in over 8 years when I sold my Saab convertible which had a CD player. I didn't realize how much I missed that and the superior sound quality of CDs compared to streamed music which is my primary means of enjoying recorded music today, but there's a huge difference! The other great thing about the CD player is its ability to play badly scratched CDs that I remember skipping or not playing at all in my car; but play perfectly in this device. A little more about the sound, starting with the speakers. For the small size, I found that the speakers performed well up to about 75% of full volume, depending on the source. After that, it gets distorted, but I can't name a single speaker regardless of price that doesn't degrade as you max out the volume, and at a volume of 37 (out of 50), it's plenty loud to fill the kitchen and great room. Part of what makes the sound carry so well is there is a port in the back of each speaker that really brings out the bass. You can also make micro-adjustments to the bass and treble from either the main unit or from the remote. Besides the CD player, the SC-PM700 also has an FM radio which, with the included antenna, pulls in all of the local stations just fine; allows for Bluetooth connection which works intuitively and flawlessly; and then has a USB input in the back for playing MP3 files, however my USB flash drive with my music wouldn't load due to being too big (256gb), while the device is limited to 32gb. Bummer, but not a show-stopper. The stereo has a clock function which you can use as an alarm or a sleep timer. The curious thing though is that while the remote has a button for "Display", regardless of which input you are using, showing the clock is not one of the options, which seems odd. You have to use the Setup menu if you want to see the time, which isn't intuitive (I had to look that up in the manual, and I am not much for using those). The remote control is minimalist, but in a good way. It fits completely in the palm of your hand and has just 20 buttons laid out for easy use. Back when I had a big stereo system made up of individual components (Receiver, CD Player, DVD Player, Dual Cassette Deck), each of the remotes were huge with dozens of buttons, the majority of which I never used. The only thing odd about the Panasonic remote was that it didn't come with a battery; I can't remember the last device I purchased that had a remote control that didn't have the batteries for it included. It just takes one AA battery, not a "problem", but I will say that when I saw there wasn't a battery included in the bag with the remote, I just assumed it was built in and was momentarily surprised when the stereo didn't come alive when I hit the power button on the remote. There are a couple/few features missing that I feel would have made this a total home run. The stereo really has a nostalgic feel, and made me re-discover my CD collection. If I were on the design team, I would have added a Phono input, especially given the resurgence in popularity of vinyl. I don't know if there are legal issues or not, but allowing the CD player to rip tracks to the USB drive as MP3s would have been an AMAZING addition. Finally, I think it would have been nice to have a microphone with Hey Google or Alexa enabled. My overall impression of the Panasonic SC-PM700 is exceedingly positive. I've been playing CDs every day after I get home from work since I got it, and I'm rediscovering some forgotten bands on 80's compilation CDs. Despite the few shortcomings and wishes I pointed out, I still strongly recommend this system, especially if space is at a premium for you. You're getting big sound in a small package and plenty of sources for playing anything you'd like to hear. Even my cat appreciates the stereo, any time I turn it on she'll jump up on it; I assume for the generated warmth but maybe she loves my music? You decide.

Being a person of a certain age, I must admit what I wanted this system for was to play CDs from my collection without resorting to my computer or game console. The days of my stand-alone CD player connected to a bulky receiver are long past. This system is compact enough to tuck into an office or similar room without being too obtrusive. I did that myself. I could also see it as a good size to perch on top of a refrigerator or some cabinetry to use as a kitchen radio. The setup process was extremely simple and you don’t need any special skills to connect the power cable and color coded speaker wires. There is also an FM antenna in the box, and like every antenna I have received with any non-portable radio I think I have ever got, it’s pretty terrible- just a bit of wire that can be connected to theoretically grab some FM radio signals. I played with it briefly and quickly discarded it as useless. A better antenna can be connected to the radio’s antenna connection without some weird or proprietary connector which I have encountered before. I was excited (it is really ridiculous to be excited about these things) to discover that this radio uses an actual pop-out type tray for the CDs. This felt both somewhat nostalgic and less upsetting than the players that just suck the CD in with no hope of retrieval if there is a problem. The headphone jack is of the 3.5mm type, and perfectly fine for this type device, but I found myself wishing that it was a quarter inch headphone jack so that I could connect a better set of cans I own without resorting to an adapter. This system consists of the core “radio” and its two wire connected speakers. The design is fairly minimalist and is the same basic thing I have seen in this class of “Bookshelf” stereos for years now. Overall, I would say that the overall build quality feels good and not cheap or plasticky. I did notice that there are some issues with the finish on one of the speaker along the top front, and therefore easily noticeable. Though fairly compact, it is not the smallest such radio I have encountered. For years I had a stereo that included 2 cassette tape trays, a CD player, wire connected speakers (and a telescoping, adjustable antenna) that was about the same footprint, just a bit taller. The speaker wires are long enough for most scenarios I would imagine this stereo would be used. The selection of buttons and the layout are pretty straightforward, with operation and adjustment pretty simple for anyone that has run a radio/receiver previously. Like so many devices, the remote control is really an essential component as it is the best way to control the interface. One nice thing was the inclusion of physical knobs for bass and treble adjustment, rather than having to search through a menu of options. The display is simple, but large and easy to see/read. Sound quality from this system is acceptable for background music or casual listening, but not outstanding. Out of the box the default sound settings were very sharp/thin and too skewed to the treble side for my taste. I typically listen to my music with studio monitor style headphones with everything set right down the middle, so I am not looking for muddy throbbing base. Still, it took some tweaking to get the sound to where I felt it had some of the warmth I was missing. Once that was done with one CD it remained consistent throughout my testing, so it was definitely the sound system not the recording. Pushing the volume up the speakers put out an acceptable level of sound and I was fairly impressed at how loud they went without distortion. Once I had the tones to my liking, the speakers did a pretty good job of filling the room with sound. After testing the CD player portion, I switched over to Bluetooth to test. Connecting my phone and tablet to the stereo was simple and worked fine. I did find myself wishing that the system had at least one set of RCA inputs, or at the very least an auxiliary input 3.5mm jack. This to me was the biggest limitation of the design. I figure it’s both a cost-cutting move and one based on the fact that most people wouldn’t miss it. I’m old school and I missed being able to direct connect a playback device for quick and easy use or to improve on the sound you can get from a smart speaker/device. The design does include a USB port, and the manual states that it can play MP3s however when I plugged in a USB flash drive that I use in my vehicle for music playback, the display says “unsupported device”. Also, a puzzling choice is to have the USB port located on the back of the stereo where it is extremely inconvenient to get at if you wish to switch it out or remove it for any reason. It says that the port provides power so it is probably just going to be plugged into a USB powered accent light. Overall, for me this stereo is fine for the location that I am using it. Audio quality is good, operation is simple and so far, the CD player is working flawlessly. I think that for the retail price of this radio it would have been nice to have one physical audio input such as a 3.5mm aux or stereo RCAs. I’m not sure why the USB playback wouldn’t work for me as it is a device I regularly use plugged into my vehicle. I also would like to have a better antenna either built into the core stereo or included as a plug-on option. It may seem like a little thing, and trust me, I see the flimsy wire style included with just about every audio receiver capable of pulling in over the air programming these days. Hilariously, the manual has a diagram showing how to put up the antenna wire with a piece of adhesive tape- not supplied. Still, having a proper antenna for a unit like this just makes it more usable for the same types of people (like me!) that still listen to CDs AND broadcast radio. Overall, I gave this 4 stars and can recommend it to someone looking for this type of radio, but I feel like it's really a 3.5. For the price, I would personally like to see a little more flexibility and functionality. Within its limitations the sound quality was quite good from the included speakers, but I have a set of self powered bookshelf speakers in use elsewhere in my home that sound just as good, with more input options, so the real benefit from this stereo is the integral CD player.

Thank you Best Buy. The stero was delivered ahead of time and in excellent condition. Love my purchase.

Looking for a new sound system that plays CD’s, FM Radio, USB, and Bluetooth?. The 3 piece Panasonic SC PM700 mini sound system is the one you want. The system consists of two speakers featuring a 4” woofer and a 2.5” midrange / tweeter and a main amplifier that has a single Compact Disc (CD), FM Radio, USB and Bluetooth. The system is capable of reading MP3’s on CD or USB, and features tone controls up front for adjusting treble and bass. The max 40W RMS per channel speakers are sonically clear, distortion free and incredibly loud. If you care about audio quality and listening pleasure, this mini sound system is it. The sound quality is so good that I popped in a cd of “The Who - Greatest Hits” to give it a comparison to the same tracks available via bluetooth and USB (mp3). Clearly the CD wins this round on sonic clarity, but the USB was a close second. I did notice that on Bluetooth, volume had to be raised quite a bit more for the same listening pleasure. The instruction manual actually shows you how to switch the “input level” out of the default volume settings should you need to. The distortion free sound is clear, not too boomy and perfectly balanced. The sound output can be tailored to your liking with the controls up front, or with the remote. I found the default “heavy” sound profile was plenty for my listening needs. Flat is great, but the overall balance of the sound for my ears was best on “heavy” (which puts treble at +4 and bass at +4). I intend to put this system in my den. The system speakers are designed to be kept within 4 feet of the base amplifier and come pre-wired with a 4 foot ‘string’ of an audio cable. The speakers are made of a premium particle board that feels solid and is covered with a pleasing wood grain finish. It compliments the jet black system very well. The front of the speakers are covered with a non-removable cloth cover. It looks great on the shelf and just blends in. The sleek modern design is such a pleasure to view from a distance. If you have been using a compact portable bluetooth speaker for audio, please give this one a whirl. The sound quality will blow you away. I spent hours listening to all the greats, quite forgetting what time it is. The additional availability of using CD’s and USBs filled with MP3s, in addition to bluetooth will provide you with hours of the best that artists have to offer. My ears were pleased like no other. My only wish is that the system had a phono input for turntables but perhaps on the next version.

The Panasonic SC-PM700 is an all-in-one stereo unit with two speakers that is perfect for small rooms, apartments or offices. This small stereo unit packs a ton of features for its size, with a CD player, Bluetooth connectivity, USB, and an FM tuner. The two speakers are two way with a 4” woofer and a tweeter. Once you removed the SC-PM700 and it’s two speakers from the packaging, you find two speakers with connected wires, instruction manual, remote control, and an FM antenna. The Panasonic SC-PM700 control unit is very compact and doesn’t take up a lot of room. Setup is very simple, connect the two speakers to the speaker terminals on the back of the Panasonic SC-PM700 and the FM antenna, set the time and date on the control unit and you’re off and running. Using the different inputs for your music is very simple. You have your choice of FM radio, CD player, USB-A or Bluetooth to play your music through. All are very convenient to use and with the included remote you can change inputs, raise or lower your volume, skip the track forwards or backwards, dim the display, change and mute the sound. The sound quality is good for smaller rooms or offices but lacks the lower end bass for larger rooms. You can use the bass and treble controls to tailor your sound or the preset eq settings. The overall quality of the sound is bigger than the Panasonic SC-PM700 small size would lead you to expect. This is a very good compact three-piece stereo system that would be right at home in a dorm room or home office and would fill it with satisfying sound.

I have a moving box full of CDs sitting in the basement; sad, lonely, collecting dust. So, picking up the Panasonic 80W Stereo system was a great reason to break them out and introduce my teenagers to all the great, and not so great, bands from the '90s. In the box is the center console, left & right speakers, remote, speaker wire (hard wired into each speaker), antenna wire, and instructions. Setup is plug and play, connect each speaker to the center output, plug in the antenna (only required for FM radio reception), and plug in to power. The build offers a wide variety of setup, there is ~4' of speaker wire per speaker, so you can have up to an 8' spread between speakers or keep them consolidated on either side of the control console. The speakers are 9" tall and ~5.75" wide, plus the center console at 4" x 8", the overall footprint is minimal for the 80W output, but can fill a large area with a rich sound profile. There are four source options: FM radio, Bluetooth, CD, or USB. You will need to connect the antenna for FM radio, however I found that you didn't really need to do much else, such as run the wire in any specific configuration to get good reception. My teenager decided to claim the stereo as his own, and put on top of his dresser. He has it set up such that the FM antenna is plugged in, with the wire bundle laying behind the console, and picks up all the stations available in the area. To control the stereo you can either use the enclosed remote, which allows you to dim the display, control input, volume, play / pause, skip / repeat, and setup, which allows for customized options such as save EQ settings, sleep timer, and auto off. The other option is using the buttons / dials on the console. On the console, there are dials for bass and treble and buttons for play/pause, skip / reverse, source, volume, and cd tray open / close. There is also a headphone jack on the front if needed. The build is nice, the footprint is minimal, with the console feeling solid, and the CD tray having a smooth open / close. All knobs and buttons feel smooth, and give the impression that they will likely outlast your CD collection. The speakers are sleek, particle board backed, with stained black sides, and black mesh fabric covering. The build design is minimalistic and blends in well. The overall output of the stereo is fantastic for an 80W bookcase setup. It easily fills a 14'x14' room with rich audio, regardless of source. Note that prior to the teen claiming it for his own, I had intended this for use in my unfinished basement, where the speakers easily filled up the 2200 sq ft of workspace. After a week of use, I find that I prefer the audio quality from CD or radio over Bluetooth, as the sound needs a bit more volume when using Bluetooth. As I've introduced the teens to all the 90s hits from various genres, the depth and range of this stereo continues to surprise me. If you're space constrained and looking for a standard stereo output, this is absolutely the way to go. The source and sound options offer a wide range of sound profiles as well as ease of use. I recommend for bedroom / apartment sound systems where space is limited, and multi channel is not needed.

The stereo system is packaged well and very easy to setup. You will need one AA battery for the remote. The biggest downside is that the speaker wire is too short. If you want to space your speakers farther out you will have to add another section of wire. The SC-PM700 offers impressive performance is such a small package. And the compact size makes it easy to make space. Setting up Bluetooth was so easy that it took about 20 seconds. I played You Tube Music and some playlists and the sound quality was great. The FM Radio had excellent clarity on the stations that fully broadcast in our area. A few stations had static but they have that in the car too. You can also insert a flash drive and play music from that. To test the CD player I started with a Brenda Lee CD to blast her rendition of Jambalaya. Seriously, a good test. Then some hard rock and classical. For this size unit and price point, I was really impressed. The remote is small but very functional. You do have to be aiming at the stereo system or it doesn’t work. A great compact stereo system with 80W that reduces distortion – a definite YES!

The compact Panasonic - Stereo System with CD, Bluetooth and Radio, 80W is refreshingly enjoyable. It is sad to think of CD's as a nostalgic item in times of MP3's on phones. Even laptops and computers don't come with CD players nowadays. Setup and installation was as simple as can be, two sets of speaker wires, power cord, and an antennae wire. It was kind of funny that I was excited to pull out my big book of CD's that I haven't touched in decades. For it's compact size, it has a full bodied sound. It's not going to shake the house, but it will fill up the house with sound. Being small in size, it could just about be placed anywhere. The solid black design makes it fit in any style of home decor. The only cons, to the system are I would say is 1. The remote should come with a battery 2: The USB port is located in back, would have been better on the front side for easier access. It would have been nice if it had multi-feed CD tower like a jukebox, but being compact and price wise, I guess that wasn't feasible. However, the single disc works fine. Although, I prefaced it with a nostalgic feel, because CD's aren't as common nowadays. It does have the modern technology of blue tooth capable pairing with other devices and USB capable. It has an auto off feature if left unattended for 20 mins, which is nice. Also has an on and off timer, clock and various sound settings, plus treble and bass settings. Overall, this little unit allows me to use my CD's quickly and conveniently without power up my full blown home theater. It's a quick fix that works and works well and is compact with full sound!

The Panasonic SC-PM700PP-K has a simple, no-frills design is neutral enough to fit into any room’s décor. It is what I like to call a High Value, Low Budget system. The system can stream content from any Bluetooth source that supports Bluetooth 4.2. Which should be anything these days that supports Bluetooth. FM Radio. USB port for MP3 playback from USB memory sticks up to 32GB. Note, the USB port will support any source with a cable including an iPhone with the thunderbolt to USB cable. The system also includes a very handy CD Player. With some experimentation with room choice, speaker positioning, and built-in audio controls such as EQ and Tone controls you can achieve a solid musical experience. Does it sound good? Yes, but the system is fussy with room location, speaker distance, and built in sound control settings. But don’t worry, it is not that difficult to get the best from this little system. *** How does it sound *** Out of the box, the Panasonic SC-PM700PP-K’s sound signature is small, boxy, constrained. The highs are ok, the midrange feels a bit missing, and the low-end sounds muddy. Male voices on NPR demonstrated the low-end muddiness perfectly for me. Thankfully, Panasonic armed the system with Tone Controls, five EQ presets, D-Base, and Surround Sound. FM radio includes an additional control, Mono Mode, to improve the sound of programming such as talk radio. To get best out of talk radio, settings of Bass -3, Treble +1, and EQ set to Flat dialed the station perfectly. Ironically, this turned out to be perfect for listening to my Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” CD. With every album, I adjusted the system a little bit more until I found a general setup I find enjoyable. And when I don’t, I make additional adjustments. The SC-PM700PP-K also provides three Presets where you can save your adjustments for future recall. I spent a lot of time listening to the Panasonic SC-PM700PP-K. My musical selection included Indego Girls, Boston, Megan Trainer, B-52’s, Loreena McKennitt, classical, movie soundtracks, Bon Jovi, Meatloaf, Michael Jackson, and more. In most cases I was able to adjust either the built in EQ, Tone Controls, or speaker position to improve sound quality. All except Meatloaf’s “Bat out of Hell”. There was literally nothing I could to do make that album sound good on this system. CDs sound best. However, the CD player you will hear the CD Player hum along if you sit too close. *** Speaker Positioning and Impact on Sound Quality *** To get the most out of the system you will need to adjust both the built-in sound quality controls as well as manage speaker positioning. The first place I put the system was on my kitchen’s granite countertop. The speakers were pushed in under my overhanging cabinet. It sounded awful due to the speaker's proximity to the wall, the hard reflective surface of the granite, and the reflections from the overhead cabinets. There was no amount of tone control or EQ that was going to save me here. Next, I moved the system to a multi-purpose space where I placed the system on top of a wooden display cabinet. The Panasonic immediately sounded better. The speakers were still close to the wall, which provided bass enforcement from each speaker’s rear port, as well as less surface area under the speakers for the speakers to interact with. To improve upon this, I moved the speakers until the front speaker feet were aligned with the edge of the cabinet. This all but eliminated reflections from the top of the cabinet which translated into better sound. I also tried different spacing between the speakers. Moving the speakers to the edges of the cabinet, four feet apart total, sounded best. The SC-PM700PP-K is designed for a bookshelf or cabinet. So it makes sense that it sounds the best in this configuration. Finally, because I’m an audiophile junkie, I placed a pair of sand filled speaker stands four feet into my room and six feet apart. I then placed the speakers on the stand. My listening position was five to six feet away, equal distance between the speakers, and ear level with the woofers. Dare I say I was able to create a meaningful phantom center with some audio staging effects? I did. I was honestly shocked this worked with a low cost, high value system. Would I recommend doing this? No. There is not enough value generated by the system to justify the added expense in both stands or room real estate to justify this listening configuration with these speakers. I did, however, include a photo of these speakers on stands. You are welcome. *** Speaker quality *** The Panasonic SC-PM700PP-K speakers are made of 10mm particle board. The speaker is a two-way ported design with a 6cm tweeter, 10cm woofer, and 20mm rear facing port. The speaker cables are 22-guage, copper, with tinned leads on the receiver end. The wires run into the speaker box and, most likely, soldered to the electronics inside. The speaker rings hollow during the knock test. The grills are covered in soft, black cloth and are glued, or nailed, to each the speaker's baffle. Finally, each speaker is covered in what feels like a black wood veneer. The speakers sound pretty good for near field listening, low volume listening. Anything over 20 on the volume dial simply did not sound good. 20 seemed to have the right balance between loudness and sound quality. 20 is also loud enough to fill a room with my favorite tunes and news. *** Final thoughts *** For the money, this is a very handy, versatile system that will fit any décor and produce quality sound when setup properly. The SC-PM700PP-K will perform well in a small office, bedrooms, basement, workshops, the lobby of a business, college dorm room, or any place you need an inexpensive, high value system. The inclusion of FM Stereo and a CD player further boost the value proposition beyond a similarly priced portable Bluetooth system. Just be mindful to keep your expectations realistic and in line with the value proposition the SC-PM700PP-K brings to the shelf. Quality sound can be had with proper room positioning and a few setting adjustments. I hope you found this review useful.

I have a few hundred CDs in my basement that haven't been touched in years. Streaming has made them useless to me in recent history, until now! First of all, Panasonic is a brand that hasn't had a huge presence like in the past but I am thrilled to see them make a CD system again! Unboxing: This Panasonic system was very well packaged, no damage from shipping. The speaker wires were folded, not rolled. Not a big deal but you'll want to unfold them rather than pulling them out. I like that it comes with a remote, though it seemed a bit odd that there wasn't a battery (AA) included, again - no big deal. Setup: Setting the system up was simple. The speaker wires are color-coded so it's easy for most people to figure out what goes where without reading the suggestions. The system has four playing modes - CD, Radio, USB, and Bluetooth. Connecting to the Bluetooth was quick and easy as well. This Panasonic system has six buttons on the front - Power, play/pause, skip back, skip forward, modes, and CD eject. It has... a volume knob! I miss and love knobs for raising and lowering the volume. Buttons just don't feel as good. I liken it to hanging up a cell phone by snapping it closed back when cell phones were used fo calling people. It also has knobs to adjust the bass and treble. Playback: CD playback is what you'd expect. The screen shows the track number and time elapsed. I do wish the screen could show the track number the whole time but it goes away after a couple seconds. Bluetooth playback is seamless. You can skip tracks and change the volume on the unit itself, on the remote, or on your phone (or other music device.) The sound is very good. I'd rate it 8 out of 10. The bass is not heavy, even with the bass knob all the way up. Clarity is very good though and no feedback or anything is heard through the speakers. If I could change a couple things it would be the following: As I mentioned, allow the screen to show the track number and time elapsed throughout playback. I would also like to see a small amount of memory added so the system will remember what track you were on if you pause for a bit and it times out and turns off. Lastly, the time out I mentioned, happens too soon. I pause it and walk downstairs to make a cup of coffee and come back up to find it's timed out and powered off. It comes back up quickly but if you're playing a CD you have to try to remember where you were at. Bluetooth, of course, picks right up where you left off. I'd like to see the time out period to be much longer. Overall I have really enjoyed having the Panasonic CD system in my office. I really forgot the simple pleasure of hitting that eject button and popping a CD in there. It also brought back the joy of listening to an entire album at a time. PLus I've listened to bands and songs I hadn't in years. The system looks great, has very good sound and I am happy to have it!

My wife wanted a stereo for her office so she could listen to island music (Buffett, Marley, Brown,etc.) We have 1000's of song on our usb, and Sirius on our mobile devices so this great sounding stereo that plays usb, CD's and Bluetooth compatible is awesome. The sound quality is outstanding. The size is perfect and the price was great! Shipping was easy. Best buy that I've made from Best Buy!

The Panasonic stereo system offers a retro looking system with great sound. The system can play CD/FM/Bluetooth and USB, you even get the hum of the CD being read. When it comes to stereos there are 3 things that matter to me and that is sound, form and function. The sound of the Panasonic is exceptional for its size, the system does a great job with its highs and mids and I was surprised how good the lows were (the ported speakers help with this and the covering around the ports is nice and secure so there shouldn’t be any distortion/vibration with extended use). No matter what music I played on it the vocals were perfect and there wasn’t much need for adjustments/tweaking. I tried placing the system in a few different positions to see how much of a difference it would make (open space/insides shelf/against wall) and there wasn’t that much of a difference besides the bass response which was better when against a wall or inside a shelf. Being a 2 speaker system this stereo produces room filing sound, being at 40% sound I could hear everything clearly from every corner within a 1500 square foot space. The music from CD’s/MP3’s and Bluetooth sounded great however the FM radio sound was hit and miss. The stereo is well built with no creaks or gives when your handling it, the speakers are also well build and have little plastic tabs at the bottom which prevent sliding around or any damage if you place them on a wood surface. The push buttons on the system have a solid click and the turn knobs for the bass and treble have a slight click to let you know your adjustment has taken place. The speaker wires are 3 and half feet long so you have some options with positioning. The stereo is simple to use and allows you to tune the music to your desired sound preference (treble/bass/surround). Panasonic allows to have a few profile settings so you can have a few different users sound preference saved. There is no app to stream your music from but Bluetooth is still available and you have plenty of options with CD and USB. The stereo offers your general setting adjustment EQ (Heavy/vocal/flat)/Base/Treble and adds an option for surround sound. The surround sound option adds a bit of hallow sound to certain parts of the audio that is playing to give you a 5.1 surround sound, this option works best the wider you have your speakers placed, it does a ok job but is not a replacement for true surround sound. The Panasonic Stereo system is great to have in any room of the house so you can listen to your favorite music. This small 80 watt system produces great room filling sound that is a must for anyone in the market.

Good sound quality on CDs and for a small unit, works well with bluetooth. Attractive, easy to use and setup. Might be nice to have slightly longer speaker cables, but small matter.

The sound quality is superb. Deep bass tones and clear quality playing CDs. It would have been better if it had an AM radio but the FM comes in well out here in the country.

I am pleased with the quality of sound, and the unit was easy to set up.

I love the size and the quality of sound it produces. Clarity of the music makes me feel like I am at the disco dancing.

The Panasonic stereo system is compact and great for a smaller living space rather than a large sound system, and the stereo sound is very pleasant to hear, with base and treble adjustments as desired.

excellent cd player with bluetooth! small and compact with nice full room filling sound!
