Good micro system - but not a good compact system

The positive features of the model are sufficiently well known. I summarize briefly together here.
- Very good sound for a plant with these small dimensions.
- Elegant design and very good processing (gold-plated connectors, piano lacquer, etc. not at MCR-230).
- Long separate speaker cables to screw / plug.
- Subwoofer connection
- Plays CD (AIFF, MP3, WMA)
- Connection for iPod
- Connection for USB sticks
It therefore meets important criteria for a really good micro-system to be.

The (in my opinion significant) deficiencies are as follows.

1. Bedienungsunfreundlichkeit.
- Way too small remote control whose buttons react badly.
- No back and forth buttons on the device, but only on the remote control.
- No tone control (treble, bass, balance) on the device, but only on the remote control. You will need to push through the complicated "Function" menu called. Caution, here you can set even dimmer and Eco-mode.

2. incompatibility.
- No analog connections for external components (eg computer, AUX / TV, tape, MD, non-iPod MP3 player, mixer, micro). Its use is therefore limited to the built-in functions (CD, iPod, USB stick). Especially this limitation I find unnecessary and unfortunate. This is impractical and not very timely, since there is an abundance of devices with which this system could be operated.

Conclusion:
If you are looking to hear a nice, good micro system for CDs, radio and iPod, this model is right for them. You can save some money as the way with the similar Yamaha MCR-230.
If you are looking for a compact system that can keep up sound and versatile with reasonable hifi systems in terms, it will disappoint the MCR-330. It's worth a little more for the YAMAHA MCR 640 or E410 issue, or more favorable to take PANASONIC SC-PMX4EG-S compact system in the eye. The plants of other well-known manufacturers in this price range can incidentally what sound and manufacturing concerns not keep up with the devices mentioned here.
