irene, sunderland , “not electronically technical usually”

+ looks & sounds good. Can be placed anywhere due to its small neatness and can also be put on the wall. Like getting woken up by a CD I have chosen instead of an annoying alarm. Very easy to assemble and use. Good value for money.

Jazz, Sutton Coldfield

+ Stylish, wall mountable and does what I required it for.

- Slightly bulky at the back when wall mounted, it appears very slim in the picture but the back does stick out a few inches so not a slim flat mounting against the wall, will seem if sticks out a bit from a side view.

Kev, Skem

+ A very good looking bit of kit. This item can bring an extra bit of class to any room its put in. I personally have this item in my room, The sound level is just right for the size of my room and im yet to have any problems with this item.

- Sound can easily get distored, However when put onto max volume the base goes off and the sound gets a better quality. On a low volume sound can appear to be lacking in quality, Ie, If playing the television through it.

+ Completely portable, can move easily from room to room. Good sound and easy to use

- CD player automatically goes to last track to inform how many tracks there are, then you have to press play again, unnecessary!

Anthea, Llanelli

+ Excellent buy. I was so please with mine I bought another one for my daughter as a birthday present.
It's smart and very modern and easy to operate.

- I didn't allow for the door opening upwards as I had inteneded to place it on the lower shelf on my black glass tv unit.
However, it now looks really good on the wall.

Manufacturer's Description

Trendy and progressive, unique innovation and style appeals to you. And so will the vividly chic MC235B with dynamic sound performance packed in a sleek design that can also be wall mounted.

Digital Sound Control for optimised music style settings

Digital Sound Control offers you a choice of preset Jazz, Rock, Pop and Classical controls you can use to optimise the frequency ranges for different musical styles. Each mode uses graphic equalizing technology to automatically adjust the sound balance and enhance the most important sound frequencies in your chosen music style. Ultimately, Digital Sound Control makes it easy for you get the most out of your music by precisely adjusting the sound balance to match the type of music you are playing.

Dynamic Bass Boost for deep and dramatic sound

Dynamic Bass Boost maximises your music enjoyment by emphasising the bass content of the music throughout the range of volume settings – from low to high – at the touch of a button! Bottom-end bass frequencies usually get lost when the volume is set at a low level. To counteract this, Dynamic Bass Boost can be switched on to boost bass levels, so you can enjoy consistent sound even when you turn down the volume.
