+ Great design, looks great, and is really compact for a unit with a lot of featrures.

- You can't get away with only an HDMI cable at the start, you'll need either a scart or s-video cable as well. You need the on screen display working to turn the HDMI output on.

Score 9.0/10

+ It's so versatile, and doesn't take up a lot of room. I played a video from a memory stick using the USB connection. I managed to set it to region 0 in the end.

- Not tremendously loud. I wish you could set some defaults i.e. leave it on Rock setting.

+ General Finish

- unit recieved was faulty so i dont think i would be keen to buy another teac product. It did not have normal tone controls. ie Treble & Bass. Remote control not as good as the Denon one I have now which is very good.

David, Winchester

Score 8.0/10

+ Compact design - the comination of DVD, CD, DAB, plus AUX and USB inputs make this a great budget amp for a small room where space is a premium. The DVD player is better and has more funtion than I'd expected. We use USB input for audio and movies downloaded from PC - it works a treat.

- The audio out is not very powerful (sub makes it better). I didn't think I'd miss 5.1 Dolby (this is a second unit in the kids day-room) - but I do. I have tried with several speaker makes and none sound gr8.

+ OK product

- HDMI set-up. You need to enter set-up menu via SCART to select HDMI output. No information on this and it seems unit is faulty when you connect via HDMI (no video, no set up-menu). Poor design

- Finding a specific track on a mp3 DVD is a bit tedious. The ability to use a directory structure would be useful

+ Compact satisfies all my needs mainly because it can play MP3's I only need one CD to cover nearly all my CD's. Speakers very nice and compact with good quality sound.

- Not easy to set up DAB stations to preselect numbers 1.2.3 etc The design of the case cheapens the whole setup, it looks like it was made to fit in a unit.

- Takes an age to boot up and only certain types of WMA and MP3 music are playable. Impossible to navigate tracks on a USB flash drive without a display screen attached.

Glen, Tonbridge, Kent

Score 8.0/10

+ Very good all rounder and space saving having DAB/FM/CD/DVD player in a small box.
Sound will be reliant on what quality of speaker you have or buy.

- Not all DVD's are able to play or be read - believed to be the USA version of some.
DAB aerial not long enough and regularly get 'no signal' and this sometimes is resolved by re-scanning.

Score 9.0/10

+ Beautiful sound, looks fab, easy to use and very compact, This is a amazing piece of gear, it has blown my mind and my friends too. Everything else on the market seems pail in comparison.
I am using the soft tweeter Teac Reference 250 LS-H250 speakers as I like the warm, less clinical sound that they give. This combo gives me a more friendly, traditional sound.

- Small dislikes, to be objective. CD loading seems slower than I am used to and the volume steps on the remote are too large making the music too loud or too quiet sometimes. Very deep unit could maybe do with a 90° IEC mains plug. But hey, I forgive these little points as I think I may be in love with this kit. I haven't tried to DVD playback yet.

Score 9.0/10

+ The main reason I bought this was the fact that it works as a full hi-fi in a small box, including a DVD player (and therefore home 'theatre'). I can also connect my IPOD and TV/SKY to it. It does all I want and is easy to use and navigate through the features. The case it metal and very solid and a lot better than some of the plastic models for the same or more cost.

- None really but the only two irritating things were the length of the case (although a small 'face' it does stretch back a way to get all those features in which made it difficult to shut the door on my cabinet easilly. Also it doesnt have a scart input despite the DVD so to get my SKY tv coming out of the speakers I've had to rig up a simple lead to convert from scart to red/white sound leads. Not a major problem.

+ Decent enough "all in one box" solution to DVD / CD playing. The "loudness" function for low volume CD playing (which I'd never use on a seperates hi-fi) works particularly well. Construction seems solid enough.

- DVD / CD tray is as flimsy as other reviews suggest. Speaker terminals are a bit naff - they don't accomodate thicker speaker cable and you so it is difficult to bi-wire from them.
