I had consciously a plant without i-pod docking station wanted because I do not intend to purchase an i-pod me. Optionally, there are a corresponding i-pod docking station. Otherwise, the C-313 USB flash drive, SD / SDHC cards, MP3 and CD's in the same good quality are again, no crackle, jerking or shaking, no other sounds than the ones you want to hear. You will take a moment to read the media, but is in erträglchen frame, in my opinion this is even relatively fast.
The designer of the remote control is apparently predisposed very minimalist, because the pure simplification prevails: simple, rectangular, functional. After the FB has numeric keys, what's apparently not common anywhere. The keys are very small, but so that they can be at a safe distance, to serve well. All thing would anyone with vision problems in time get a good glasses to be able to read the inscriptions on the FB too! All settings werdenn made on the FB, but also on the unit are several controls available. There is a printed manual that corresponds to the remote control: minimalist, but adequate and for the most part understandable.
The complex has 30 program memories for FM and 10 for MW. After my first programming, the preset stations, however, were disappeared after being turned off, so repeated programming and now everything is OK. The display You can display various and also the backlight can be adjusted. When switching off the system the display backlight turns off completely. You can choose between 5 different sound types or exhibit these well and there is a switchable X-bass amplifier. The Kenwood C-313 has a sleep timer - adjustable from 10-90 minutes in 10-minute increments - like a timer function.
The CD door moves to open by pressing the device silently upwards. Something is tricky because even the opening of the cover plate at the bottom of the plant, after which the various Einsteckplätze and connection points are hidden. For this you need a bit dexterity and a certain minimum length of the fingernails is very conducive.
All in all this is but my conditioning in the usual Kenwood Quality. I am really happy to have this compact system. She's just a treat for the ears and for the eyes. From me therefore 5 star and a pure buy recommendation.
