+ Incredible rich sound from such a compact design. Comes with everything needed, including aerials for FM, DAB and AM. Plays MP3 files without fuss.
- Loses assigned radio stations from memories when switched off from mains. Clock is fiddly to set up without instruction manual.
This micro hi-fi is exceptional in looks, compactness, quality of sound. A real great buy for someone who wants quality.

Kevin, Bridgwater
+ Design and build quality
- Not so much a bad point, you need time to set these speakers correct. Distance from wall and foam inserts make a massive differance.
Great kit. Dab is FAB and to play windows media files is just great!

Lisa, Birmingham
+ Superb sound from such a small piece of kit. The DAB radio is excellent. I wanted a small unit to sit under the tv instead of the huge system that took up too much space and this certainly does everything I want it to.
- None.

Andrew, Oldham, Lancs
+ It is a great little unit that delivers a very good hi-fi sound quality. It dosn't take up much room on my hi-fi unit
- I cant think of any bad points.

- none

+ I purchased this for a family members birthday as i own a Denon myself and i know that they are the best midi/mini systems about. This one i bought for my mum is a little deep, so you need a largish shelf but the sound is crystal and the bass for a machine of this size is deep and booming - if you want it to be. It looks the business and does far more than you would think. Its the best midi about by far.
- Quite a deep unit and the top-end price-wise for something of this size but well worth buying a new large shelf unit to take it and even paying that bit more. Top drawer.

+ It is just the size and shape we were looking for to fit our room and the sound quality and features are excellent
- None that we know of yet!

Ian, Gloucestershire
+ compact design. robust features. good choice of auxiliary inputs. ease of use of controls. superb sound for the price.
- unit is 3-5cm longer than a standard 30cm bookshelf (when aux. cables connected to back) - a minor oversight.
17 Oct 2007
Andy, Oxford
+ Best Sound of any micro system i have ever heard.
- the new speaker design is not as ergonomically pleasing as the old model
A best kept secret.... most people are not aware of this product. Its simple and uncomplicated design belies its incredible sound & performance for a micro system

Paul, Bristol
+ Great mid-quality unit and you don't have to buy speakers with it (get some Wharfedale Diamonds to complete the kit).
- Not 'HiFi' in the true sense but it's great value for the sound and convenience you get.

+ Superb sound from a 'non-separates' system and at a decent price. Really compact, if you're short on space this is an excellent option. Far superior to the BOSE Wave system. Invest in an optional iPod dock (ASD-1R) and you'll get excellent sound to fill your room with downloaded music.
- Many functions need to be operated from the remote, however if you can live with this you won't have any worries.

Chris, London
+ ALL IN ONE PACKAGE THAT OFFERS QUALITY SOUND AND CONVENIENCE OF DIGITAL RADIO /MP3 PLAYBACK
- Speaker connections could be better but that is being a little picky

+ It looks lovely and feels very well made. The speakers are very high quality and sound excellent. The tape deck is especially good with virtually no hiss on Dolby Mode and crystal clear reproduction.
- There's a special setting you can use to get good 'bassy' sound when playing music at low volume and the sound is also good at high volume. My only critisism is that when playing at mid-volume it can sound a little 'light'. Also, it doesn't have an 'auto off' function to turn the device off at the end of playing a CD or whatever.

- cannot think of any i am very please with the unit

James, Milton Keynes
+ Excellent punchy sound, not tried it with the standard speakers but an upgrade to highier spec bookshelf units appears money well spent.
- Speaker terminals are the clip lock type absense of screw down clamps is a little penny pinching particularly when rivals do appear less expensive.

Michael, Roscommon, Ireland, “Disillusioned Englishman relocated Ireland”
+ Good build quality and sound. Plenty of features. Reasonable value for money.
- Complicated to programme beyond the basic level. Difficult to obtain additional items (i.e. tape deck). As it is installed in Ireland the non-optional DAB feature is no much use. Unit is deeper than I thought but otherwise compact.

+ It fits our bookshelf and fittings. The sound is good at all volume settings, important to us who use it to provide music into other rooms.

+ stylish unfussy design, easy to use, offers options to add other functions later on.
- Would have prefered option of a multi CD player
From all models I tested this was definately the best all rounder for style, sound, operation but the most expensive.

Simon, Wiltshire
+ Excellent over all unit, great sound quality considering how small the speakers are - guests often comment on the sound quality. Also very easy to use and set up.
- A mini jack as an Ipod input on the front would be useful. That's it!

Ena, Perth
+ I am a bit of a techophobe so had to get help to programme it but otherwise it is fine. I also had a tape deck and it is good. I had a problem getting the connector for the aerial as none of the hi-fi places knew what I was talking about - a lady in the local TV repair shop was instantly on the ball!!
- Have not found any yet.

David, Plymouth
+ Good sound, fairly easy to use. Good product
- Like to have had a balance feature. My speakers cannot go in the centre point of listening and therefore need louder sound from one speaker.

Paul, Exeter
+ Easy to use and configure. Bought fo digital radio but all features are excellent. Also Aux input for MP3 is very useful. FM reception is also very good. Does what I would expect from Denon.
- Problems with Digital reception when weather is bad or high pressure. This is probably a location problem rather than the receiver as all transmitted signals need extensive boosting. I am thinking of trying the TV aerial as an alternative to the indoor aerial provided.

Gordon, Greenock
+ Neat little system with quality reproduction and smart finish .
- It is quite difficult to read the signs above the buttons which are tiny. It is a little awkward to read particularly as it is likely to be below eye level

- As unit is a tuner amp and CD player there are no balance controls and only rudimentary loudness control, however this is minor and in no way affects enjoyment of the unit.

Gerard, Derry, “trained sound recordist”
+ Amazing sound for such a small unit, akin to substantial Denon seperates systems of the 1980's, yet fits snuggly on a shelf of my TV stand, allowing a easy link ups with the rest of your AV set up ...... and a tidier living room.
- Grumbling about this little system would be bad form. If you want a better system, you will pay at least twice as much money for it. This is as good as it gets.

+ Sound quality is excellent and good value for money. I nearly bought the Bose wave system and i'm glad I didn't.
- System is longer than I thought, no good for a window sill.
