Score 9.0/10

Good points:: I love the compact all in one unit, great sound quality, incredible dvd clarity and themute button that fades up and down
Bad points:: It came with a european plug so I had to buy an adaptor socket. I get a smaller range of dab stations compared to the dab in the room upstairs.
