Panasonic SC-PM11

I like to listen to radio a lot, and I like changing the station often so one thing I noticed that the FM tuner is quite sensitive to static, twist a little the antenna, or walk in front of the stereo, and you can pick up a lot of static and funny noises. My cell phone radio for instance picks up a better signal ))). But I managed to find a spot in the house that gives a clear reception. The CD player is great no problem with any CD type.Overall it is a very good choice, plus it has a lot of features, that are somehow difficult to program if you don't use them often enough, like the CD Manager, funny timers, sound equalizers. But I never use them, just like to enjoy the flat sound without any equalizers.

Bought this Panasonic SC PM 11 micro-system for our bedroom for chilling out and bedtime. in the store wife liked it, it was mostly her decision , we dont agree on stuff like this. i thought it was nice looking and had what we needed and so did she. I think it would be better suited to small living room or den than bedroom. dont even try going to sleep next to ie when that cd changer kicks in , it will drive u mad. so i put it on sleep mode for 30 minutes so it doesnt have chance . maybe i havent figured it all out and could override its cd settings if i had the patience ,i dont. i miss the simplicity of the old days. oh well i guess this is progess? cd's , tapes and fm sound quite good though with supplied speakers. eq choices ok ,im still old school and would sacrice them for bass and treb and maybe some sort of ambience effect you could control. bass enhancement button good. button layout on display unit hard to figure out in dim light (common with most equipment overrun with buttons). also the remote needs to be bigger with bigger buttons and easier to understand . My main gripe though is cd changer. it goes through 4 manuevers u can hear before new disc plays , its mad. would have settled for single disc if i would have known. i know the price was cheap so i understand cost cutting had to take place somewhere. but still i think they shouldn't offer something like this if a part of it seems unacceptable (cd changer)in my opinion.-
