what a great value ! I have be search for just what this unit offer ; a compact dvd player with the capacity for CD , mp3 , plus AM&FM; , include speaker , all for a attractive price . I do not want all of the speaker and wire associate with `` home theater in a box '' , but essentially want all of the feature they offer in a small stereo package without the expense of a true component system . this be a great main system for those of we who be not true audiophile , and may even be a good bedroom system for they as well . my only complaint be that I can not get the volume sufficiently high , but that be because I be use it in a large living room , a task for which it be not design . good job Panasonic !
