Grev, Merseyside , “Married couple”

+ Good sound, plenty of volume for any normal room, more than enough for bedroom. Good appearance, modern display, fits on shelf. Easy reception of all DAB channels without external antenna. Happy with this choice!

- No numbers on key-pad; need to learn how to access pre-sets. This is easy, but different from most radios. Not important.

+ Easy to use, good sound reproduction.

- Volume control not the easiest to use. Remote handset has to be pointed directly at the player.

susan, Exmoor , “I love my radio!”

+ It sits in perfectly where my previous analogue radio sat. It works each time I use it although some cds on some stations do not sound too good.i did no realise when I purchased it had a tape deck too, this is great as I still have some favoured tapes, cds are the best, much better reception than my previous one. Selecting radio stations now are a breeze.

- It was quite fidely to set up and had to ask for help in the end. The speakers were particularly tough for me to conect up.

+ Great design, easy to use, good value/money....very happy with the product in overall!

- when using the Hi-Fi at high volume sound with CDs there is a background fan noise. I returned one item for that reason. new one does the same noise but lighter and it is not that bad.

Graham, Blackburn , “Radio/music addict!”

+ A great little hi fi that has DAB, fm cd AND a cassette deck, which is very rare. The ariel supplied is more than adequete, and the DAB is a revelation. Sound quality is great for the price, on all day and no probs. A good cheap intro to a new digital age!

- Can't just plug and go, you HAVE to read the manual to understand Hitachi's 'way' of doing things, a slight tedious but worth it.

+ Like the fact that cd release is opeated by button. Sound quality very good for the price range.

- Only thing I personally think detracts from the overall good appearance of the unit is the rather tacky "mp3" sign on top right hand facia of the unit.

- It has to sit on a shelf in my kitchen which is not at eye level, the CD loading position is on top so I have to reach up and use it 'blind'. It would have been better if it had been a front loader but that wasn't in the specification so I didn't know when I bought it.
