Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
Compact Stereo System with iPod Dock, USB Input and Bluetooth
Made with bamboo materials.
Sound Quality
Bluetooth wireless technology in the SC-HC55 enables you to enjoy a wireless connection with an iPhone, iPod touch, iPad or compatible mobile phone. You can hold the player in your hand and play music files without docking. Audio signals that are lost during Bluetooth wireless transmission are compensated, so you get high quality music from your iPhone or iPod touch with fingertip operation. Sound distortion that is commonly generated by the scattered reflection of sounds from the body surface is greatly reduced by digital sound processing (DSP). This enables the production of highly pure sounds.
No data loss in transmission.
Slim Design with Wall Mount
The slim body of the HC55 is only 69mm depth at the thinnest point without its stand, which makes it ideal for setting on a shallow shelf or mounting on a wall. The innovative design means the stand of the audio system can be unscrewed and used as the wall bracket - therefore no need to purchase additional fixtures and fittings.
Internet Radio and DAB
The SC-HC55 has an integrated DAB tuner. Also access Internet radio with the "vTuner for Panasonic" application for your iPad, iPod touch or iPhone. The application is very easy to use and convenient because you can save your favourite radio stations using the HC remote control.
Extra Features
Use the USB slot to play back your stored MP3s. A motion sensor is situated on the top of the SC-HC55 so the sliding door can be opened or closed by simply passing your hand over the sensor.

Having read all the reviews I could find on several replacement "Hi-Fi" units I settled on the Panasonic and I think I have made the right choice. I was a bit worried about the DAB reception issues voiced in other feedback reports, but I looked at the BBC web site and determined that the DAB signal here (West of Norwich - Norfolk) should be adequate (I have a standalone DAB radio and that seems to pick up signals OK). So, I took the plunge and ordered one. I found it easy to set up and the instructions (once you get used to Panasonics way of presenting them) were straight forward and written in "correct" English.! The amount of "personal adjustment" to select all the FM/DAB radio stations is excellent and the CD playback plus all the normal CD Disc operations (Skip, shuffle, programme tracks etc.) were all there.! I have yet to play the ipod options (not yet owning one, but my son does and he will try it out for me I'm sure.!) and try the USB options but I have full confidence that they will work OK as well - So far, so good.! Recommend this to anybody who is thinking or needs to replace their mini type Hi-Fi's. (Amazon was the best price I could find with fast/reliable delivery - I used the Next Day option - brilliant..!)

I bought this product as the music and radio source for our brand new kitchen. Typically for Panasonic, build quality and finish is excellent, and the range of features for the price makes this unit great value for money. I also bought the Internet Radio app for the iPhone and this works brilliantly, even via the remote control. I especially like the dark window on the docking section that when closed, makes your iPod or (in my case) iPhone look like a screen that is part of the system - a clever design touch.
Sound quality is perfectly okay but not better - you simply cannot expect too much from flat plane speakers, especially of this size.
The only downside is the DAB and FM reception. The supplied aerial is simply not good enough and is the only part of the system that looks like a cheap, poorly implemented afterthought.It's untidy to use, barely boosts the signal and like all DAB aerials needs to be vertical rather than horizontal across a surface. Fortunately, I had a "car style" telescopic DAB aerial from another system going spare (complete with suction cup base), and this worked beautifully. I now have all the DAB stations in my area (Reading) - FM reception is still poor however, but since I harldy listen to FM stations, it's not an issue for me.
Overall, a good bit of kit and great value - as long as you're aware of the DAB reception issue beforehand.

Great product, CD works fine, iPod dock works well, bluetooth brilliant but DAB radio... here lies the flaw, very fiddly 'f' connector to attach to and even then very poor signal via supplied loose wire aerial.
Bought a very small telescopic aerial from Maplin (the only one they had) - it made little difference, very disappointed.
Have used cheaper DAB radios and a Pure radio in same location with much bigger standard fit telescopic aerials and they have worked well, so I feel this is a real let down which is surprising for a Panasonic product of which I am a fan usually.
The scrolling display was a little disappointing too, quite basic in it's function and limited in the readout detail which is a shame compared to many other systems which at a glance show more information.
Sound quality quite good considering the slimness off the unit, but not quite up to 'Pure' standard I'm afraid.
