Rating  - big bang
I read good reviews for this one and this one performs well upto its reputation. Its perfect for the bedroom or study setup. All range of sounds are reproduced accurately and clearly.
Rating - Plus it has nice input jacks!
I was shopping for a boombox because I wanted a small music player for my kitchen, with input jacks so I could plug in either my non-IPod mp3 player or my Roady XT satellite player. Finding a boombox with input jacks isn't easy. Then I spotted this, and its perfect. Looks a lot nicer than boomboxes, sounds great, and the DVD, CD, and Casette are all pluses.
Rating  - Panasonic admits problems with this unit
I bought this unit a little over a year ago, and 1 month out of warranty, I started to have a problem with the CD playback skipping, just little bits at a time. It sounds a bit like a squeak and a dropped word or phrase during playback, and it happens pretty frequently (at least a couple of times a minute). It gets extrememly annoying if you care to listen to the music in any way.
I took it in to be repaired, because I had loved this unit's performance up until this problem.
The repair shop replaced the laser a couple of times, and they also cleaned it out thoroughly. When that didn't work, upon Panasonic's recommendation, they replaced the entire CD playing unit. Still not fixed. Upon hearing this, the repair shop told me that Panasonic had admitted having lots of problems with this unit and similar ones, which were somtimes repairable and sometimes not.
It seems a case where the manufacturer knows that the unit is problematic but doesn't want to stand too tall behind the workmanship.
Caveat emptor, indeed.
