Digital camera reviews of Panasonic SC-EN17 CD Micro SystemDigital camera Review: Best for the price Summary: 4 Stars
I read all the reviews on this and a number of other systems in the immediate price range and decided that I would give it a try, in spite of some of the negative comments. I listened to about a dozen different >$100 systems and this was the best.
I use this in my office - about 130 sf - and keep it very soft. I play mostly classical music.
For my application it is a perfect unit, not too deep so it fits in a bookshelf, and it looks great. Both the AM and FM reception are good though there is a little hiss on the FM side. I pull in all the local stations without a problem. For the price the sound quality is just fine, though I wish there were more variety in the preset EQ settings - 5 seems not to be enough. I do not have the problem so many have written about with the remote. I sit about 7' from the unit and, so long as I point it in the general direction it works fine. I do wish the remote had a mute button - this would help when someone comes in to talk or the phone rings.
Overall I feel it is a good buy. Perhaps those who feel the sound quality is not up to par are used to more expensive systems. I would not compare it to my Sansui/Bose system at home, but neither would I compare an XJS to a Tercel - they have different purposes and meet different needs.

Browse the airwaves with the auto scan tuning feature to find all the best local stations, then save up to 32 of your favorites using the preset memory. The SC-EN17 will also play your favorite CD-R/RW and MP3 recordings. When MP3s are created, higher frequencies are lost due to the limited frequency response of compressed digital audio. Most of these frequencies cannot be heard by human ears, but their presence conveys subtle nuances. When they're missing in a digital recording, the music just doesn't sound quite the same as the live performance. Panasonic has developed a multi re-master feature that examines the audio signal and helps compensate for these lost frequencies, providing a better sound quality that is closer to those coveted original performances. There is no need to get up off your couch with this micro system. Keep yourself parked wherever you're comfortable and navigate the SC-EN17 with the included full-function remote control. And if you decide to take a midday snooze, you don't have to worry about oversleeping because the system doubles as an alarm clock. What's in the Box SC-EN17 micro system and remote control.
