Product Features

System Type	Micro
While there are no strict size guides, the system types in order of smallest to largest are micro, mini, midi.
Radio	AM-FM
As well as analog FM and AM radio, Digital radio, or DAB, is available on many hi fis. In areas with reception, DAB is much clearer than FM or AM.
iPod and MP3 Player Docking	iPod Dock
This model features a port to enable you to play back music from an iPod or other MP3 player.
Disc Player	CD Player
Most Hi Fi systems play CDs and some also play DVDs.
Type of Speakers	Freestanding
Freestanding speakers are separate from the hifi body and can be moved away from the main unit. Built-in speakers are part of the main unit, so the hifi is more compact, but you don’t get any choice about where to place the speakers.
Number of Speakers	2.0

Wireless Speakers	Wired
Some models come with wireless-enabled speakers, meaning you don’t need wires trailing across the room to get stereo sound.
Remote Control	No
MP3 Playback	Yes
This device can play files in the MP3 format (.mp3) from a CD.
RMS Wattage	40
The standard measure of the maximum sound the speaker or speakers can produce. For more details see: What is RMS Wattage?
HDMI Interface	0
Like a scart interface but capable of carrying HD signals from or to other devices. You’ll need these to link your Playstation 3 or your Blu-ray player to your HD-ready TV.
CD-RW Playback	Yes
A ‘yes’ means this model can play CDs that are rewriteable, meaning you can edit the songs on the CD after you’ve burnt it.
Number of Discs	1
The number of discs that the player will hold inside its body ready to play.
Dimensions excl. speakers (mm)	430x230x260
Wall Mountable	No
If you’re looking to save space you might find the ability to wall mount your equipment handy.
Colour	Black
The main colour of the product.
Headphone Socket	Yes
Cassette Playback	No
If you’re looking for a system to play your old tape collection on, you’ll want a model with cassette playback.
Vinyl Playback	No
Live Pause	No
Many digital radios are now coming with the ability to ‘pause’ live radio, by saving the radio programme temporarily to the radio’s memory. This means if the phone rings you can quickly hit pause and answer the phone, knowing that you won’t have to miss a second of your favourite show.
Alarm Clock	Yes
Waking up to music or the radio can be much nicer than waking up to alarm bells. Some models come with alarm clock functions.
Line In	Yes
A line in port is for connecting up MP3 players or other external sources via a 3.5mm analogue cable.
MP3 Connectivity	Yes
This model features a USB port to enable playback of music directly from a compatible MP3 player.
CD Function	CD Player
