Severe navigation but versatile playback options

On the one hand can convince the WAC 3500D by their versatility. My iPod is recognized without any problems and can be controlled via the remote control. Also CD, USB stick, Aux, and radio go properly to play. The weaknesses lie in the fact that can rip CD's relatively slow and will not play it. Also there is no possibility of songs from the USB stick to play on the hard disk and so always needs to go through the CD or computer go. Dubbing with the computer turned as slowly herraus (about 7 hours for 10 GB), and the computer must be connected directly via Ethernet to the plant. So either the computer is in addition to the stereo or you need a laptop. Another weak point when dubbing is that you can, can not play back on the computer of songs that are even on the hard disk again.

Totaly has a little disappointed on the hard drive me to navigate. Even the small screen is a hindrance when navigating. While efforts are being recognized ID3 tags very quickly, but you can only by genres, albums and artists sort. You can not sort by title name and an evaluation possibility of songs missing. The search function is not particularly Ganu.

Positive on the system is the Internet Radio, which is activated for a firmware update and it works well. Also, the sound, the volume and the design can be very convincing.

Conclusion: If you want to use the hard drive as the main medium will be a little disappointed, but otherwise the plant is quite recommendable.

Addendum: Warning! For me, the delivery was not as advertised but the WAC3500D the WAC3500 (without D). What makes that I do not yet know, but investigations are recommended
