Product Details Brand Sanyo EAN 0647132000760 Manufacturer Sanyo Model SLIM-1500 UPC 647132000760 Warranty 3 months warranty Features Measures 21.3 by 13 by 3.8 inches (W x H x D) without pedestal Detachable 2-way speakers 5 watts per channel 10-key direct-access remote SureWake for a graduated wake-up level Product Description Designed to be both seen and heard, the Fisher line-up of exceptional products has long been associated with quality and innovative technology for home use. A mere 3-1/2 inches deep, this ultra-slim model will fit even tight spaces like a charm, and is easily wall-mountable. Featuring a CD Player, AM/FM Stereo Digital Tuner , and 2-Way Detachable Speakers, it's Matrix Surround Sound technology produces a realistic surround sound environment by recreating the live-performance feeling, dramatically increasing a sense of realism and space. A dynamic bass processing circuit automatically optimizes the bass or low frequency that gives music and sound effects a real impact that can be felt as well as heard. SUREWAKE Function - Provides soothing wake-up volume so that you wake up to increasing sound levels. Pedestal and Hanging Bracket (for Wall Mounting) Included Dimensions (WxHxD) - 12 x 13 x 3.5 / Weight (lbs.) 7.8 When fashion is as important as performance, the Fisher Slim-1500 compact stereo proudly steps to center stage. Catering to real-world fashion ideals, the Slim-1500 is true to its name, offering a CD player, a digital AM/FM tuner, and detachable two-way speakers--all with a profile less than four inches thick. The unit's pedestal is perfect for placement on top of a desk or cabinet, though other setups work as well. Using the included mounting bracket, you can hang the Slim-1500 like a picture, or you can dispense with the pedestal, unhook the speakers, and enjoy a more discreet appearance and wider stereo separation on a bookshelf or cabinet. (Click on the 'See more pictures' link at the top of this page to view the stereo with detached speakers.) If you want the wide stereo effect without the wider speaker array, you can use the Slim-1500's surround button, which generates a more spacious and reverberant sound to simulate a wider stereo spread. The Slim-1500 is certainly no heavyweight in the sound-quality department; physics take a fast toll on sound quality when you start reducing the available speaker space. If the looks of the Slim-1500 appeal to you, though, the tradeoff is probably a favorable one--the sound is by all means decent, if a little flat, and the bass and treble controls provide some latitude for tailoring the sound to your preference. The unit can play fairly loudly, but bass-heavy material such as rock music will audibly distort at lower levels than you might expect. Fisher implements a number of thoughtful design features in this system. For starters, the Slim-1500 doubles as an alarm clock (with either radio or CD) and offers a feature called SureWake. SureWake lets you set a low listening level to fall asleep to at night (with automatic shutoff after 10 to 90 minutes) and also works with the alarm by gradually increasing the volume to room-filling levels at wake-up time. Especially cool is the inclusion of a pair of front-panel RCA-type jacks that, at the touch of a button, you can switch to serve as either inputs or outputs. This flexibility permits you to record from the Slim-1500's CD or radio to a cassette or minidisc recorder; you can also simply listen to your cassettes through the Slim-1500 when it is hooked up to an external deck (though we can't help wishing that the Slim-1500 included a cassette deck). The unit even includes a subwoofer output in case you want to jack up the low end with an external powered sub for more visceral musical involvement. The Slim-1500 also includes more typical features, such as 20-track programming for the CD player and 30-station presets for the tuner. On the downside, while the blue LCD screen shows CD track numbers and timing, actual time, and radio stations, it doesn't show volume level or bass and treble settings--even when you're adjusting those features. And since the tone controls are plus/minus buttons rather than knobs, you have to adjust tone controls by ear. While most of the Slim-1500's operations are intuitive, its method of loading CDs is not. You must set discs in the opened tray; when you close the tray's door, the discs pop into place. (Don't attempt to mount a disc directly on the black spindle.) The Slim-1500's remote is easy to use and well laid out, though take heed: its AA batteries are not included. --Michael Mikesell Pros: Stylish appearance Independent bass and treble controls RCA input and output Subwoofer output Intuitive layout Large volume knob SureWake offers flexible nighttime/morning programming Intro scan (for CD) Detachable speakers/pedestal Well-designed remote Spacious surround effect Cons: No cassette deck No display for volume, bass, or treble settings Confusing disc loading Batteries for the remote not included Fisher calls this slim version of the Executive Microsystem 'a home music system designed for both your eyes and ears.' The hallmark of this system is its slim profile (only 3.5 inches deep) and sleek design with vertical CD transport. The Slim-1500 stands on a pedestal or may be wall mounted with the included hanging bracket. Removable cloth speaker grilles complete the visual design. But of course this audio system isn't all about looks. Built-in audio features include a dynamic bass sound system for full-frequency audio reproduction with deep low-end sound, and a matrix surround sound system to generate a more spacious sound. The two-way speakers are detachable, so you can spread them out for ideal placement in your room. Separate bass and treble controls let you configure the sound to your personal preference. For added functionality, the Slim-1500 includes a line in/out for connection to a minidisc or cassette player, and the headphone jack adds the option of private listening. The alarm function with SureWake feature will wake you up to either CD or radio. This model uses a backlit LCD multifunction screen, and a 10-key remote control makes operating the unit simple. Batteries are not included. The Fisher Slim-1500 Executive Microsystem comes with a 90-day warranty on parts and labor. w/Surewake Accessories Kodak Xtralife AA Battery(Kaa-4) Twelve (4) Packs = 48 Batteries DiscRestore 3675 DiscRx Pro Series 1 Monster Cable JM REPC M HP-20 Computer Stereo Audio to Stereo Receiver Using Minijack-to-RCA Connection (20 ft.) Customer Reviews for: Fisher SLIM-1500 Executive Microsystem Rating - Not bad for what it is. First off, I used this unit in place of a set of amplified PC speakers... for that it works great... MP3s and Cds play just fine. The unit has a decent executive look to it and looks fine on my desk at work. For $90 you can't really complain. One hitch, it does pick up ambient RF noise (IE cell phones and such sound like pops from the speakers occaisionally) but I was able to live with it (and it could be problems in my building anyway). For those of you who are lamenting about the lack ... Read More Rating - Great small system! This little Fisher is a really nice piece of equipment if you are looking for a reasonably priced, extremely good looking stereo for a small area. I have had this for several weeks now. I bought it for my living room (which is VERY small) because my Bose was simply too powerful for the small space, and my jazz cds sounded really distorted. On my Fisher, they sound really great. What I like best about this stereo is that I control the bass and treble, so I can adjust them to the type of music I am listening ... Read More Rating - Get what you pay for A good stereo, but you get what you pay for. Cheap stereos won't give you high-end sound. The CD's load at an awkward angle, and also take a long time to load. Overall, it's not that bad, but not the best system to buy if you're looking for quality. Rating - Not really more than a clock radio/CD This seems like a nice idea: being able to have a CD player and AM/FM tuner is a thin package. Can can be mounted on the wall or put on an included stand. I've seen high-end versions of this concept and they seemed pretty cool. I received my SLIM-1500 free, using credit card points. That said, I was a little surprised when I opened the box. It's plastic and not very nice plastic at that. From a distance, I have to admit, it looks cool. Up close, it doesn't look as good, but it's not too bad. Touch ... Read More Rating - Horrendously poor product Don't waste your money on this so-called stereo system. The sound is horrendous, even for background music. It only looks nice. It sounds like a tin box. The sound on my laptop computer is far superior to this sound system. The only thing I use this product for is listening to AM radio such as news, and the clock feature. It takes too long for the stereo to read a CD when it is put in. Changing CD's requires you to touch the readable surface of the disc. This one's heading for the bargain table at my next garage ... Read More see more reviews See More Sanyo products
