Panasonic Compact Stereo System with CD Player, Bluetooth, FM Radio and USB with Bass and Treble Control, 80W Stereo System for Home with Remote Control - SC-PM700PP-K (Black)

This compact Panasonic CD Stereo System (SC-PM700) book case stereo system has, thus far, performed as promised and flawlessly. The lush stereo sounds/music, either from a CD and/or the FM radio is clear, full and rich. The entire system is beautiful engineered with an equally beautifully done black exterior presentation, which fits perfectly in our current office book shelf system. The display panel is bright, the enclosed remote controller is functional and easy to use, along with the enclosed FM antenna. Though this compact stereo system is a bit pricer than many current "no-name" brand compact book shelf stereo systems, the overall quality and longevity of Panasonic products is undeniable. For a few more dollars, we'll stick to quality, longevity and excellence every time. Enjoy!!!

Perfect for the money! I live in an apartment and wanted something for my bookshelf that was better looking and certainly better sounding than a boombox, but more price conscious and less involved than an AV set up. This hits the sweetspot of sound quality, build quality, and functionlity very nicely. The speakers sound robust - no tinny tweeters - and have nice little feet on the base so they stay put if you bump them accidently. Additionally, their output is tremendous! You can really dial in between volumes needed for soundtrack and metal. The volume knob has a very satisfying resistance to it, it doesn't feel cheap and flimsy, so delightful --- if you even get close enough to it to use the knob because it comes with a very nice remote. The remote also has built in feet and I just really appreciate the feel of it in the hand and the presence of of it - you wont misplace or drop it accidently. Does not come with batteries, which is fine, but be aware. The bluetooth function is easy to use and a delight to have. The drive is only good for a single cd at a time, but for the money and the tech age, expecting more from a shelf set up is where the buyer should be looking into AV/Surround products like Onkyo, Yokohama, etc. Im so enamored with it in the bedroom that I may lose my mind and buy one for the living room for the vine alone. If you're back and forthing over a different model, go with this one - the brand name recognition is what drove me but quality is what convinced me. Its a superb little set up for a small space. Cons? Maybe the power cord is a little short? But that's really neither here nor there.

I wanted a simple nice looking bookshelf unit that wouldn’t take up a lot of space. I live in a small condo that is limited on space and storage. This unit is impressive looking. But, the sound is what is more important than looks. The sound is not going to be the same in any way compared to a major sound system. Unfortunately, I can’t afford a fancy sound system or have the space. I can dream. The Panasonic works for me at this time. I would note that playing the unit at higher volumes does cause some distortion. I’m not an expert on sound systems, so can’t explain it much better than that. I specifically wanted a bass and treble adjustment feature and this unit has it. Again, at louder levels, the bass or treble is going to distort to some degree. You have to decide what is tolerable. I wasn’t sure what 80W would give me but I already had the neighbor pounding on my wall. Didn’t appreciate that especially since I have had to tolerate his TV over powering my TV for at least the past 4 years and never complained once about it. So, it can get loud. Great if you want to sing to your tunes. I have not tried out the FM. I’m most likely going to get a radio so I can move it to one room to another as I am working around the house. I would have liked more features on the unit. So, you have to decide what is most important. Obviously, this is going to work for some and not others. Price? I think the price is too high. I paid $216.49 including tax. Right now, you can get this unit for $161 and change. So, nearly $40 less. That’s quite a difference. Would have preferred paying $161 rather than $200. I’ve only had this unit for about a month maybe 6 weeks at most. So, kind of sucks they reduced the price after I purchased the item. Great for others though if you are pondering the purchase. I have not checked USB as I do not stream music and have not checked Bluetooth either. These two items, for me, are nice to have for the future if I decide to use them. So, this is primarily just a CD player review. Hope this helps. Would I purchase again. Yes, but not at the price I paid for it.

Amazing sound for a small unit. It's well made and easy to set up. Picks up FM stations with provided antenna. If you do order, you may have to wait for shipment. I'm my case, I ordered April 8 and Received May 8. This seemed unusual but it was worth the wait

As an audiophile and former homeowner, I miss my ‘big’ home theater setup. But now as an apartment dweller I needed something with good sound but neighbor-friendly. This Panasonic unit fits the bill.In addition to separate bass and treble controls, it has D.BASS and Surround modes that extend bass response and sound stage, respectively. CD and Bluetooth playback from my iPhone were both flawless. FM reception with an antenna was excellent, 30 presets may not cover all the available stations if you live in a metro area. Signal to noise ratio was surprisingly good, with less hiss than expected from strong local signals.The 20-button remote control is easy to use along with the readouts from the unit’s front panel. Menus are intuitive enough but the clear user’s guide should be consulted for a few tips and tricks. Just remember to bring your own AA battery to pop into the remote.The speaker grills are not detachable while the bottom of the speakers each have four rubber bumpers to mitigate cabinet motions. Bass ports are located on the back of the speakers.Note that the rated power output of 40 W/ch into 6 ohms is at 10% THD. If your threshold for fidelity is a more conservative 0.1%, this unit feels more like a 15 W/ch system. Still loud enough to disturb neighbors without distorting at half volume (25).
