Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The Panasonic SC-AK330K mini system may come in a relatively compact package, but it'll blow the lid off any party thanks to its 360 watts of total output power and its thumping three-way bass reflex speakers. The futuristic-looking system, which hails from Panasonic's Nitrix series, features an aggressive, hot-rod-like black housing that includes a five-disc CD changer with CD-R/RW and MP3 playback, a dual cassette deck, and an AM/FM tuner with 15 AM and 15 FM station presets. The collection of components and its moderate size make this a fine choice as a bedroom or office system; on the other hand, its robust power output is enough to fill up a much larger space, such as a large basement or moderate-sized ballroom. The CD player's most notable features include track programming, random play, and repeat play, along with standard song skip/search and play/pause functions. Users can navigate through the variety of functions and determine the current track information by glancing at the large, easy-to-read dot-matrix display. It's also simple to jump from disc to disc thanks to the CD changer's five direct access keys, which help you quickly find the album you're looking for without cycling through the CDs one at a time.

The mini system's commanding, dynamic audio derives from both its powerful amplifier and its large, efficient speakers, which provide smooth sound that excels even at high volumes. The system also encourages listeners to pick the ideal sound for their musical tastes by selecting from the half-dozen preset equalizer settings, which include heavy, soft, clear, disco, live, and hall. Or listeners can activate the H. Bass setting to dynamically boost the bass to floor-thumping levels. The amp also supports bi-amping and bi-wiring, letting you really get the most from your speakers. Other features include a programmable sleep timer, auto power-off mode, and a wireless full-function remote control. The system is Energy Star compliant and carries a one-year warranty on parts and labor.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lives up to the Panasonic name..., May 27, 2005

Warning: One day I was out trying to find this system with the subwoofer, but could only find this- just the receiver and speakers. I thought, "Well, I'll just order the subwoofer separately, then." Wrong! The receivers are different per system. This one does not have the silver trim- no subwoofer out. Yep. Can't do it. Still, I settled for what just the two speakers can do for a while. Although 360W, there is very, very little bass, and certainly not enough to rumble anything. Yet, this is definitely the clearest audio I've heard. This is my first experience with 1-bit audio (MASH, for Panasonic), and it's kinda hard to describe. It's anything but a flat sound, such as heard through cheap headphones or wimpy car factory speakers. It has a grit that is just like if the person is really there. It's loud! Of course, to obtain this presence of music, a lot of hum is also present when there is no sound coming out and the system is just standing by. So, although bass was lacking, I gave it 5 stars for a wonderful achievement by Panasonic.

The ak330 is anything BUT user friendly. Keep the manual close by, our you will never figure out how it works. Many of the functions are only available through the remote. So if it's not working, you're out of luck. The radio tuner picks up stations that are two states away. When we have our local stations on, the distant stations are so loud, that we have to turn the radio off. We don't have that problem with any of our other radios, so there is something wrong with this Panasonic. We would not buy this set again. Panasonic's quality on all their merchandise has worsened during the last few years.
