... doesn't remember what discs were in it once the unit is put in standby. The tuner works grand also, with RDS EON, which is handy when scanning to see the station name on screen. The tape decks are grand also with auto reverse, etc. Of course, tapes are near a thing of the past now, and I haven't toyed much with the decks, but it plays tapes well. Overall, a grand unit, and definitely better than some of the stereos about nowadays in regards to reliability and quality....more

I have also had this system for years, possibly nearing 10? nevertheless a long time. I thought about selling it a one point, but thought i would give it another go and hooked it up to my laptop, amazing! Can't believe i ever thought of selling it, this is a truly a great piece of kit. Sure it is very dated compared to hifi's of this day and age, but the sound quality it top notch, the power output rivals a lot of the smaller machines today and as the previous guy said the durability is outstanding - without doubt the best hifi i have ever owned. im sure i will purchase one in the future as this one is a little bulky......but for the moment it RULES!

Thats all.

I like the dot matrix display which makes letters look more realistic than units that show square letters. It is 2x100 watts RMS, and has fantastic sound. There are preset equalisers, and options to add 2 Custom presets, which is rather handy! The CD carousel works well and allows for CD Text, as I'd expect from Kenwood, though sadly its downfall is that it doesn't remember what discs were in it once the unit is put in standby.
