I hear the music in my 35 square meter living room - the sound is full and, if necessary, also loud.
Who cares: The time display is 15 minutes after the power is turned off ("Eco Standby").
For one, the subtly hidden cassette deck may be nostalgia, for others -like me- the opportunity once again the old cassettes of "time" to listen.
Many ports: including AUX-IN for televisions, MP3 Link, USB.
The device itself looks simple but in my opinion not "cheap" from -As one of the buyers said here. The wooden boxes look dibasic. Will also invest more money who flaunt must mE then.
I am completely satisfied for that price.
NOTE: I have to revise my review: after about one month, the main switch on the unit responded (production date Sept. 2012) only sometimes and the light display was completely black. Then it went again, then again not. Had to return the device. Have the same device then bought at "Expert" again (Production Date Aug 2012). In some CDs, the new device then (noise vibration) rattles in fact especially in the beginning of the CD very loud. This, too, I will return. Too bad.
