First the positive aspects:
Pronounced well I like the design of the plant, because it is designed and tastefully unobtrusive. The size is a big plus for my premises, because, I have little space. This mini-system fits perfectly into my purely optical a small living room without being noticed unpleasant.
I am also satisfied with the performance of my play CDs. The boxes provide a good music playback, the wattage accordingly not too loud for a smaller living room. The voice reproduction in radio plays and audio books is to my satisfaction.
Inserting and removing the CDs designed to unproblematic.
The only drawback is that the CD drive makes noise, a slight rattle, which is, however, drowned out by the music or the voice recordings at low volume, and is only noticed me when I stood in front of the plant.
The included manual is designed in detail and easy to understand, so it is not a problem, adjust or try, even if you, like me, not necessarily all takes up the individual functions of the plant.
Somewhat satisfied, I'm playing the radio stations in FM mode (FM). The supplied wire antenna allows at my site to receive 12 channels without noise. However, the music playback is not as good as with CDs. Here one must therefore take a cut in. But because I mainly use the radio for word posts, this disadvantage is not important for me.
Note: in my experience is crucial on how good the reception at the wire antennas the location. Because I live on the third floor of a building, I have naturally good conditions (the higher the better).
Also, the benefit of the speakers for the TV through the audio connection is working properly. Here the user manual was helpful, the step by step explains how to set this function. A suitable cable is not supplied by the way.
With the remote control, I am also come along very well. The functions can also be recognized with no explanation. If necessary, you can look them up. A battery for the operation you should have at hand, because it is not included.
And now the negative aspects:
The USB port is not suitable for all MP3 models (it is explicitly stated in the instructions for use). My iPod, for example, has no chance here. For me irrelevant, because I have a matching speaker, but the decision to purchase but an important aspect.
DAB / DAB + were not to receive me with the wire antenna. It appears here always the information that these digital channels are unavailable. According to my research, they would have it where I live but his. Here I can not judge whether I might sit in a wireless coverage area or the antenna is simply too weak or unsuitable. Here, then, a big question mark. Those who wish to buy the device to receive digital radio should definitely make further inquiries.
At this point it occurs to me that it is difficult to get information about this model. Probably because it is a discontinued model. Although I have researched on the Internet, but found the information received is not sufficient. The vendors skimp here with details. This complicates a buying decision and is in any doubt, for example, via the DAB and DAB + reception, annoying.
Unfavorable I also think there is no connection for cable operation exists. With my old system I can receive thousands of stations through the in-house cable. This option is missing unfortunately. That's especially the quality of reception on a big disadvantage, because of course a small wire antenna does not have any particularly great range.
All in all, for me anyway outweigh the positive aspects. Of course, but that's also the fact that I no longer want to play with this system as CDs and listen to every now and then radio. Who has higher and different demands on this facility, will not come here at his own expense.
The evaluation of this product I am doing a bit heavy. For my needs I would distribute 4 points, but overall there are serious shortcomings which leave me rather tend to 3 stars. Although the mini-plant is currently being offered at a very reasonable price, I think the lack of opportunity to learn about the product, and the identified weaknesses for too severe. Therefore, I forgive but ultimately the worse overall, although I would advise against a purchase does not necessarily. It depends on the respective claims.
