Panasonic's SC-PM71SD Micro Audio System gives you superior digital music in multiple formats. This small audio system accepts SD Cards for record and play -- load up the digital music you play on your PDA or MP3 player and enjoy. You can also record directly from CD to the SD card, for easier file transfers. Apart from that important feature, this compact sound system performs like those that are 4-times its size. Panasonic's hybrid bi-amp drives independent speakers for low and high frequencies for more precise sound integrity. Using the optimum drive system for each speaker assures reproduction of the high frequencies over an extended range, which results in wide-range audio reproduction. You also get an exceptionally powerful sound at 40 watts per channel. At 4 channels, that's 160 watts total power. And since it's a low-noise amp, you can enjoy clear reproduction of even quiet sounds. There's even a built-in AM/FM digitally tuned radio. If your mobile phone, PDA, notebook or other device has an SD card reader and is capable of having a speaker or headphone, you can listen to music you've recorded directly to an SD card. At home, you'll just love listening to this system. Park yourself in a comfortable chair and stay there thanks to the included full function remote control. The large, bright display makes it easy to see disc and track info from a distance. Sit back and listen. MP3, CD-R/RW, WMA and HighMAT playback with re-master function for excellent sound covering the recording's full dynamic range SD Audio playback Hybrid Bi-Amp System H.BASS Sound - Harmonized Bass sound enhancement selectable MASH 1-bit Digital Analog Conversion System Programmable timer for recording, play, and sleep Wood Grain Speakers with detachable grilles

Summary: Great buy
Comment: We purchased this system for our disabled teen aged daughter. She loves to listen to music, but has trouble managing CDs. This system has great sound and with the ability to put all her music on a memory stick the CD management problem is solved. She can run everything by remote!
System arrived quickly and was in great condition. Great shopping experience and well worth the price.

Summary: Please check the item carefully
Comment: I just received the above unit from Etronics and the Audio player & SD card was not included, despite the fact that the Amazon page says that it's part of the sytem and the unit packaging said it was also.
Etronics are claiming that on THEIR site it's not listed so I'm not entitled to one.
This is very frustrating as I can't seem to find anybody to take responsibility.
I will probably return the item, even though it seems like a very good unit as I simply cannot abide false advertising (regardless of whether Amazon or Etronics are at fault).
Customer service at Amazon really sucks.

Summary: Crippled Recording: NOT for converting cassette recordings into AAC or MP3 format.
Comment: At first I was delighted with this unit's easy set-up, smart appearance, intelligent design and functionality, and high-quality sound. However, I soon discovered that it won't perform the main function for which I bought it: converting old personal analog cassette recordings into digital format(s).
To be fair, the unit does in fact "rip" (convert) a cassette recording and saves it as a digital file on the SD memory card. But the resulting recording is formatted as a proprietary ".SA1" type file, which apparently is .AAC plus a layer of Panasonic's DRM security. The main problem is that .SA1 files are NOT recognized by typical audio software (iTunes, MediaPlayer, etc.), and a web search for conversion utilities turned up nothing. Panasonic includes their own "Jukebox" software, which doesn't help. This set-up works well if all one wants is to transfer audio files to and from the included tiny, stylish and cool Panasonic SD-SV90 player (noting the lack of ID3 tagging). But the inability to move audio files from the SD card to one's PC, and convert them to .aac or .mp3 formats for easy playback on other media (i.e. CDs, iPods or MP3 players), etc.) is a fatal flaw for my needs.
For the extra cost of this unit, I expected a lot more flexibility with the SD recording function, but it seems like DRM (Digital Rights Management) limitations won out over user functionality. For the record, all my cassettes are personal recordings, not commercial music -- so there's no reason for DRM to limit my digital conversion. The other functions all seem very good, but sadly this system is going back for a refund, to be replaced by a less-costly stero without the crippled SD-recording function.
Great idea, poor execution.
