Leon, Hinckley

+ The bass is awesome on this stereo and the sound quality does not distort at full volume, although my windows do vibrate quite violently!!

- I like the speedo style needle but it does make a bit of a whirring noise and the USB doen't work with my Ipod or my Nokia mp3 phone

Tony, Derby

+ The product performs exactly as described - the sound quality (and quantity!) is fantastic. Not for use in small spaces or with close neighbours though.

- I'm not too keen on the juke box type display, but the distracting flashing lights can be turned off.

While there are no strict size guides, the system types in order of smallest to largest are micro, mini, midi.
Radio	AM-FM
As well as analog FM and AM radio, Digital radio, or DAB, is available on many hi fis. In areas with reception, DAB is much clearer than FM or AM.

This model features a port to enable you to play back music from an iPod or other MP3 player.
Disc Player	CD Player
Most Hi Fi systems play CDs and some also play DVDs.
Type of Speakers	Built-In
Freestanding speakers are separate from the hifi body and can be moved away from the main unit. Built-in speakers are part of the main unit, so the hifi is more compact, but you don’t get any choice about where to place the speakers.
Number of Speakers	2

Wireless Speakers	Wired
Some models come with wireless-enabled speakers, meaning you don’t need wires trailing across the room to get stereo sound.
MP3 Playback	Yes
This device can play files in the MP3 format (.mp3) from a CD.
RMS Wattage	150
The standard measure of the maximum sound the speaker or speakers can produce. For more details see: What is RMS Wattage?
HDMI Interface	0
Like a scart interface but capable of carrying HD signals from or to other devices. You’ll need these to link your Playstation 3 or your Blu-ray player to your HD-ready TV.
CD-RW Playback	No
A ‘yes’ means this model can play CDs that are rewriteable, meaning you can edit the songs on the CD after you’ve burnt it.
Alarm Clock	No
Waking up to music or the radio can be much nicer than waking up to alarm bells. Some models come with alarm clock functions.
Line In	Yes

A line out port is for sending the output from the device to external speakers or a recording device or a PC via a 3.5mm analogue cable.
Cassette Playback	No
