Machine total managed

The small complex should provide sound my kitchen and makes this neat. It is constructed and set up quickly. Many functions are self-explanatory, the Betriebsanletung also help.
The sound via CD drive is good. Well suited for MP3 compatible on homemade R / RW, and MP3 files are treated as tracks and folders as albums. System uses information from up to 255 albums and 999 tracks per album. Random and Repeat are optional, of course, as direct input of the CD tracks remotely possible. ID3 tags (title, artist) can also be displayed. MP3 receiveing ​​USB (stick must be formatted FAT, NTFS no!) Is also possible in good quality. Up to 2,500 tracks can be played. The USB port is the front side of the system in my opinion easily accessible. USB flash drives with more than 32GB may not be recognized. Check it out! Unfortunately, no external hard drive can be connected with USB cable!
On top of the main unit is located - to be opened by a small flap - the possibility of connection for various iPod and iPhone models. Devices are also charged in this station. The names of the compatible models can be found in the very well written comprehensible manual that you can download as a PDF file on his laptop from the network.
The reception quality of the radio tuner must be mentioned quite well by wire antenna with me, switching weaker transmitter to mono is possible. FM and AM are standard. 30 FM stations and 15 AM stations can be preset. This can also be manually or automatically at the request of equip. So RDS station name, frequency and type of program can be displayed.
The possibility of adjusting the sound character is given by Bass, Treble and Surround. More sound variations are with: Heavy, Soft, Clear, Vocal and Flat given.
Per FB or front of the device can be achieved by means D.BASS a bass boost, the small, valued speaker can produce a fairly good, rich sound with removable front. Amazing! Sound settings are a matter of taste!
Please do not confuse but the good sound around with real hi-fi stereo!
I felt the bass not as boomy or even superficially, the heights but rather a bit poor. The processing of the main system and boxing has succeeded; for as a total system and that price even be called good.
From unpleasant noises when opening the CD drive and play the CD I can not negatively report.
The functionality of loop antenna for MW, clock, sleep timer and wake-up facility I have not tried. System is probably good for bedrooms suitable. A headphone jack with 3.5 mm stereo jack is up front on the main unit easily accessible.
The Mini system consumes power acc. To instructions / Panasonic 19 watts and 0.2 watts in standby mode always. Quite off to save battery power thus plug from the mains draw with loss of certain settings.
The system has a decent total volume of 40 watts in stereo mode (20 watts per channel). Unfortunately, the stereo effect for both speakers and channels is always the same and can not be adjusted individually.
Practical: If in the worst case even react no button on the system or you will undo everything to factory settings via initialization helps the manual.
Unfortunately, the display brightness is reduced and the speaker cables, which are firmly connected to the speakers, have come too short with only 1 meter. Here has been saved by Panasonic on otherwise good device at the wrong end.
