Panasonic SC-PMX92EB-K Micro Hi-Fi System with Bluetooth and DAB+

Hmm. First impressions were: radio sounds fantastic, CD sounds fantastic, Bluetooth is a bit lacking.Now: Having run in the speakers over a few weeks, the Bluetooth sound is now full and clear, up to the standards of the CD and radio output.I had relegated this stereo to second choice in my household (in the spare room) as I had problems with the Bluetooth sound at first. However, it is now rightfully back in the living room, as the Bluetooth sound has improved with time. Also, it plays CDs faultlessly, even if they are slightly scratched, which my Philips M4505/12 is not able to.Quite a large footprint for a micro system, but it is worth accomodating the slightly extra size, for the extra power and clarity which this system offers. The volume has more headroom than other systems, going up to 40 or 50 (I haven't reached the full extent yet!) as opposed to 30 on most HiFis.Overall, very good value, stylish to look at, the remote control takes a little bit of getting used to, but is sturdy and reliable. Great sound reproduction across the formats.

Really happy with this great sound easy to use set up great look .

I ordered this on behalf of my mum.We wanted a Hi-Fi that she could easily operate and not be bogged down by multiple features and controls.It looks a little plain/ basic but packs a punch in the sound department with 120 watts total volume. The sound is quite rich too.Preset graphic equaliser is limited but you can adjust the base and treble manually.Couldn't pick up many DAB stations so mum is sticking to FM radio (having to hang up the wire aerial which isn't a great look in living room).Connects to Bluetooth (phone) well. Listened to a YouTube music video and the sound quality was very good. Same quality playing CDs.Haven't tested other connections yet.Remote control range is limited. You need to be facing the Hi-Fi directly for it to respond. You can't open the CD tray via remote either.A good deal when it was on sale for £229.

I'm no audiophile, but wanted to listen to my soundtracks in my living room with greater clarity than streaming.The sound difference is very noticeable listening to music directly from the CD. Apparently, they are not subject to compression and this experience is known as "lossless", meaning all of the information is there as it was recorded. I didn't realsie that ripping my CDs to Apple Music compressed them so heavily!I can now hear notes and chords I didn't notice before, and the overall sound is much more euphoric, in my opinion.For the price, this really hits a sweet spot and I'm very, very pleased with my purchase.I've placed my small collection of CDs (mostly video game sound tracks) and my art books/game guides so I can enjoy them as I listen to the music from the game.Yes, streaming is more convenient, but taking a CD out from the case, popping it in, and not being distracted with the option to change soundtracks really is more immersive.

NEGATIVES: 1. Speaker cables supplied could be longer.. 2. and a better gauge.POSITIVES:My photos show my 16 gauge speaker cable attached next to the unused Panasonic cable. The positive being screw terminals on unit and speakers.The unit has curves of the Technics I used to sell back in the early 1990's. This unit sounds like a Technics.NB: TECHNICS AND PANASONIC are trade names for their holding company. Back in the 80's and 90's, I sold loads of Panasonic TV and video. Their range of audio hifi would go to about £300 then all hifi above that price would have the name Technics on it. I have attached to the unit a very old tape deck for playback only. No line-out for recording. Also attached is a Panasonic blu-ray player and Samsung TV.I have tried lots of different genres of music at different volumes. Too many to list but I cannot fault any trials. These included:Ambient: BRIAN ENO... Apollo. MP3Prog: GENESIS... Supper's Ready. CD 2008 mix.PINK FLOYD... Comfortably Numb. CD 2011 remaster.Pop: ABBA... (MAMMA MIA ost) blu-ray ... the bass was more threatening than Motorhead!Quiet s very quiet and loud is very loud for it's location in a bedroom.Sleep mode: 30 / 60 / 90 / 120Dimmer: low light or light.Bass/ Treble: -4 / +4.Remote Contol: comprehensive (as far as I can tell)DAB+ ... the " + " is important for the reception of some stations... eg Classic FM.Overall, I am once again so impressed. This is good enough to have a Technics logo on it.

Set up was so simple. Added an external aerial and the dab sprang to life with crystal clear reception. Cd player tested with Mozart, Olivia Newton John and the electric light orchestra. My god this system is good, brings music CDs to another level,no hiss or anything. Mechanism is silent. Connected to my phone with ease . Better than my pioneer system I used to own, and that's saying something! At the price it's money very well spent.

I was looking for a Hi-Fi to replace an older soundbar. This fitted the bill exactly.It has an optical cable connection direct to the TV. It works really well with both the BT box and the BluRay. The sound is clear and nice and loud.I use Spotify a lot and this paired easily with my phone. My GF also wanted to be able to play her CDs so that was another reason to buy the SC-PMX92. There is a 3.5mm audio in, so I could connect another device if I wanted.It is worthwhile mentioning that the Amazon Marketplace price was a good 10% cheaper than other online retailers and the high street.I can think of only a couple of minor negative points. The first is that the sound is quieter from the TV than the radio/CD/USB. The second is that I am going to have to get more speaker cable as I want to position them further apart. Overall I'm really happy with this kit, and I highly recommend it to you.

Lovely equipment, sound is good
