Not so much a bad point, you need time to set these speakers correct. Distance from wall and foam inserts make a massive differance.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.
