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	DAB
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.

This device can play files in the MP3 format (.mp3) from a CD.
RMS Wattage	100
The standard measure of the maximum sound the speaker or speakers can produce. For more details see: What is RMS Wattage?
