Panasonic Compact Stereo System with CD Player, Bluetooth, FM Radio and USB with Bass and Treble Control, 80W Stereo System for Home with Remote Control - SC-PM700PP-K (Black)

I really miss the old days of loud stereos that you could really FEEL that music & rock the windows! Now, while this will definitely not rock any windows, it's good for a smaller spaces and sounds good...AND if you put it on a table near the end of a couch & lie down (with it behind your head), it's EXCELLENT!! You can REALLY hear and feel the sound (just like those old days!) - and THAT is pretty awesome! Good old-fashioned musical therapy, ya know? :) There are several equalizer settings you can choose from, plus you can adjust bass and treble as well. It paired very easily w/my phone when I tried the bluetooth option. Both CD & bluetooth worked well. It also has an FM option w/an easy to use antenna that plugs into the back securely. There is also a USB port on the back if you need one of those. The lighted display is very easy to read & the instruction manual is good. The remote control is excellent & I really like it. It's built so much better than the cheap, thin, little annoying ones I've used before. (note: the remote does takes one AA battery which is not included) Overall, this is a small but mighty little sound machine - and when I say "mighty", I mean listening to it on my couch like I mentioned. Otherwise, it is just fine for basic, good music in a room(just not at a window shaking level). Because it's not too heavy, it's very easy to move if you decide to use it somewhere else. Just unplug it from the wall, then unplug the speaker wires(the ol' red/red, black/black wire attachment) and bam - it can easily be moved around. I really like that option too. Overall, for the price, it's a good deal, but the sheer awesomeness it has when you listen to it on a couch w/it near your head is worth every penny! I felt like I was 14 yrs old again drowning in some good music....love it!

Powerful sound. Easy to attach speakers. Needed to go to AI for directions for understanding how to utilize the equalizer for best setting sound for classical. The best small stereo I have had. One thing to consider--the cords to speakers to player are short, this limits how far apart they can be placed. Don't hesitate--buy now.

Perfect for the money! I live in an apartment and wanted something for my bookshelf that was better looking and certainly better sounding than a boombox, but more price conscious and less involved than an AV set up. This hits the sweetspot of sound quality, build quality, and functionlity very nicely. The speakers sound robust - no tinny tweeters - and have nice little feet on the base so they stay put if you bump them accidently. Additionally, their output is tremendous! You can really dial in between volumes needed for soundtrack and metal. The volume knob has a very satisfying resistance to it, it doesn't feel cheap and flimsy, so delightful --- if you even get close enough to it to use the knob because it comes with a very nice remote. The remote also has built in feet and I just really appreciate the feel of it in the hand and the presence of of it - you wont misplace or drop it accidently. Does not come with batteries, which is fine, but be aware. The bluetooth function is easy to use and a delight to have. The drive is only good for a single cd at a time, but for the money and the tech age, expecting more from a shelf set up is where the buyer should be looking into AV/Surround products like Onkyo, Yokohama, etc. Im so enamored with it in the bedroom that I may lose my mind and buy one for the living room for the vine alone. If you're back and forthing over a different model, go with this one - the brand name recognition is what drove me but quality is what convinced me. Its a superb little set up for a small space. Cons? Maybe the power cord is a little short? But that's really neither here nor there.

Ultimately we were forced to return the Panasonic PM700-PP because, while the sound quality was quite good, it was unable to play about 40% of our CDs. If you are not heavily invested in CDs as we are, you might like this unit for Bluetooth, USB and FM radio play. PROS: Good sound quality, adequate bass/treble, good stereo separation. Ease of setup and use. Both remote and unit operation are straightforward. CONS: The unit is very selective about which burned CDs it will play. Recorded CDs must be “Audio” or “Music” CDs. Music recorded to data discs rarely worked. About 40% of burned CDs did not function. In addition, it failed to play about 10% of purchased CDs. This was especially disappointing considering that the OEM CD player in our Nissan Rogue and our previous player, a Bose WAVE, had no such problems with these discs. Minor annoyance - CDs do not “autostart” when loaded; if a CD is readable one still needs to select “play” on the remote (?!?), and there is no option to change to an autoplay mode.

I really like this stereo... very good sound quality, easy to use, good value for the price, reliable bluetooth connection. I only have a couple of quibbles. First, there is no aux input. I do have an old iPhone 4 that I sometimes use for streaming, and I would have liked to use it with the audio output jack, but can't. The other quibble is with the CD player. First of all it has no memory. If you stop the disc, it doesn't remember where it was, and if you want to pick up where you left off, you have to try and remember, then step through all the tracks again, and you can't go backwards from track 1 to take a shortcut to higher-numbered tracks as other CD players do. Also, the readout of the CDs is inadequate; it doesn't show you title and artist information, and if you want to see the track number, you have to use the remote see it, and then it goes back to the lame "CD" readout when it goes to the next track.

Speakers are pretty small compared to old school stereos. Overall sound quality is pretty good. Bass sounds super good. Trebles is decent but not super high quality (in terms of listening to rock music and stuff where you want clear treble). It gets pretty loud. Loud enough for a single person to really rock out (80watt version) but might want a little louder to use for a big party or outdoor type thing. It might do the job in that case but its more of a personal size unit. It would be better if it had an aux input. I would rather use that than bluetooth. Would be cool if it had a tape player, record player or other things added on to it. They should also sell different speakers for it. Maybe have a 100 watt speaker set for people who want something with a lot of volume. And sell a treble/mid speaker for rock music. It definitely sounds good on rock, but its a small speaker where they seem to have focused their efforts on having really good bass sound. You could have incredible bass and incredible treble with a bigger speaker probably but almost every speaker now days just focuses on having good bass. Panasonic used to have the best speakers back in the day especially with good treble.

First I bought cheap CD no name players ranging in price from $66 to $165 and had to return them because either they didn't work at all or one had a player with "pops" like you'd hear on an old vinyl record no matter how new or old or wiped with alcohol the CD was. Then I bought this Panasonic and it's a dream. Less than 5 minutes to set up. Great sound. Treble and bass controls. Round volume knob for quick and easy volume adjustment. Easy Bluetooth hook up. Controls on both the remote and the unit. Nice looking. CD function nice and smooth. Let me tell you, avoid the no name brands!

Very nice system for a reasonable price! Good clear sound, easy to operate and while it's not my old Pioneer SX 626, can crank the Panasonic up and enjoy some rock and roll!

Boa qualidade, mas o som é pouco potente, mesmo para ambiente caseiro.

Terrific sound from a very compact unit ! It’s very hard to find a CD player with stereo !Highly recommend!

Muy buena calidad de sonido, no distorsiona a volumen alto. Los botones físicos de graves y agudos son bastante prácticos. El volumen es muy suficiente para una habitación mediana. El tamaño del equipo es muy discreto y sus terminados se ven de muy buena calidad. El control remoto es muy fácil de usar y el emparejamiento con el equipo es muy fácil y rápido. Excelente relación precio - calidad.

Me gustó bastante El sonido es “cremoso”, pero potente contemplado el tamaño de las bocinas. Para mi gusto tiene demasiado bajo, pero se puede ajustar con la perilla muy rápido. Pensé que tenía entrada USB, pero el mío vino sin ella, la verdad no me importa, lo quería por el lector de CD. Muy buen producto, es muy bonito.

I just set it up and works great. Love the sound. Worth the money.
