Well-rounded sound, iPod dock, looks good

Uneven sound at maximum volume level, display is too small

Panasonic’s SC-HC3 micro hi-fi is a great product. It’s attractive and has an integrated iPod dock. It has especially good sound quality considering its slim design.

Includes iPod, CD, radio and auxiliary inputs ; Sliding case design

No DAB+ compatibility, just FM ; Not shielded for iPhones

There's no doubting that the SC-HC3 is a quality unit where it really counts — audio quality. It's not an inexpensive unit, however, and really only justifies itself if you do split your listening between iPod and CD a lot.

good sound and easy to install and looks good

Sleek good looking style with plenty of ooomph. Haven't even tried full volume yet.

easy to use. Slim, elegant design . Ours sits neatly on the wall. It has been necessary to fit a DAB aerial to our chimney because of poor reception in our area. With the aerial this model gives us a very good sound and picks up all radio channels

Good looking unit, excellent sound quality.

I pod connectivity problems. I have an i pod 4 and the connections are not compatible. It does dock with an i phone 4 however.

Slim, compact, pleased with doors.

Aerial for radio is like 2 strings you have to secure upwards from the machine, we have a high corner shelving unit that the machine sits on so I can hide them apart from the ends that poke out the top like 2 spiders legs. This is not shown on any pics...

Quick and easy to install. For a small, compact unit the sound quality is equal to that of a large, expensive, 'flashy-type' model.

I really can't think of any.

Nice looking and wall mountable, also incorporates ipod, CD & DAB as well as a USB point for other devices, very pleased.
