Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

Slim CD/iPod™ Micro System. The SC-HC3 achieves high quality sound from compact speakers. The Bamboo Cone Speaker produces crisp, clear vocals. And the two passive radiators that are positioned at the front and back of the speaker unit cancel out vibrations inside the speaker to suppress unwanted vibrations and deliver robust bass sounds.

The slide-type door allows easy insertion and removal of an iPod™ or CD, even in tight spaces. This special iPod™ dock lets you easily connect an iPod™ directly to the main unit without using any cables. You can then select songs from among your iPod™ favourites with remote operation. You can also set the wake-up timer to work with music from your iPod™.

With only about the same depth (10.25 cm) as a paperback book, the SC-HC3 can be placed on a desktop, bedside stand, or other small space.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sophisticated little number, 10 Sep 2009

The Welsh Dragon (Haslemere UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Panasonic HC3EB 40W Micro HiFi System (Electronics)

Delighted with this smart, modern all in one music machine. The CD and the sound quality were the two most important things I needed and finally chose this Panasonic.This was against Roberts (disappointing sound quality for similar cost, slightly hissy too),Pure, Sony & Teac. Apart from everything working beautifully, with no background noises, the design also merits a mention. It is very smart. Its very thin design has won a European award for the general and sound quality for its size and it does live up to this, particularly considering it is not a separates hifi system. There are 5 sound settings to alter according to the style of music, or vocals, you are playing, as well as other buttons to attune the sound to your personal taste. The silver panel you see at the front is a clever sliding door to reveal either the Ipod or CD slots. The remote behaves well and instructions were perfectly clear and can be used across a large room. Amazon had the best price at the time of writing, but it is a new product and the price may drop in time. Note that there is also a DAB version for another �40, but we won't need DAB until 2015, so no rush unless you particularly want this.

This is a fantastic little stereo, very portable. The sound is unbelievable for such a small device. Excellent stylish looks, playback is brilliant and remote response is very good. IPOD mode works very weel as does cd playback. Radio functionality is great too. Recommended product :)
