Panasonic SC-PM19S 5-CD Shelf System (Silver) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I received this as a Christmas gift and I have been very happy with it thus far. The sound is very good and will get louder than I would ever want to play it; all without any distortion. The controls are straight forward and easy to use as is the remote. The radio has great reception on both AM & FM.
It appears to be very well constructed which is what I have come to expect from Panasonic. They always do a good job at providing a quality product. I have electric razors, juicers, air purifiers and other items made by them and I am always happy with my purchases. I especially like the fact that it has soft footpads on the bottom of the main unit and speakers. This allows me to place it directly on my dresser without having to worry about it scuffing the finish.
Some have commented on the CD changer being noisy and I agree with this. It does seem to be a minor tradeoff but I do not know how they could make it more quiet and keep the price where it is. I was also suprised that there are no controls to adjust the bass & treble. Panasonic gets around this by providing several pre-selected sound modes. I find that they did a pretty good job at this and the auto-enhanced setting sounds just the way I would like it to.
Pros:
Fantastic sound
Speakers that can handle all of the power
Easy to use controls
Soft footpads
Easy to use remote
Good radio reception
Quality construction
Attractive
Cons:
Loud CD changer
Slow CD changer
No separate bass, treble adjustments
Overall - I think anyone would be happy with this unit.

Panasonic's SC-PM19S executive microsystem offers style and power, housing 70 watts per channel in its sleek, wood-and-silver casing. The SC-PM19S includes a single-well cassette recorder and a five-CD changer with Panasonic's exclusive MASH (multi-stage noise shaping technology) 1-bit digital-to-analog converter for clear, accurate sound reproduction. And the system plays not only prerecorded CDs but home-brewed CD-Rs and CD-RWs, and it's compatible with MP3 digital audio files. It's also available in a silver/black finish.
To ensure powerful, clear, and virtually distortion-free audio, the system features a bi-amplified, biwired configuration, which splits the amplifier's labor to independently power each speaker driver for more efficient power usage. Super Sound EQ boosts the low, medium, and high frequencies at the touch of a button, and four preset equalizer curves are also included.
Other features include a drift-free, digital-synthesized tuner with 30-station (15 FM, 15 AM) presets, TPS (Tape Program Sensor, which lets you search forward or backward across up to nine cassette songs), detachable speaker grilles (in case you prefer the look of naked tweeters and woofers), and a multifunction remote control.
What's in the Box Panasonic SC-PM19S shelf system, remote control, 2 AA batteries, and printed operating instructions.
