After suffering major disappointment from last two hifi systems(Sony and Aiwa)that I purchased,it is such a breath of fresh air to finally purchase a system that has the lot.
The sound quality of this hifi is second to none, with its surround sound and tri-amplified speakers the definition of sound it ouputs is frankly excellent. There are sounds and effects on your favourite CD's you will have never noticed before, that is, until you play them on this system.
The DVD function adds yet another dimension to the Hifi by letting you play your best DVD films direct from the system.
The only concerns I had about purchasing the Technics SC DV-170, was that is has a twin cassette deck rather than a mini disc player.
Please don't let this put you off, the cassette player is almost as crisp as the CD player.
The only down side to this system is that it is missing a few features on the CD player, i.e, time elapsed on the track playing and not being able to remember which CD is in which draw.
On the whole, this system gives quantity and quality in abundance and is a must buy for people who are serious about their music!
