Teac system August 20, 2010 Brian We were looking for a compact sound system for the kitchen and eating area, and this one certainly fits the bill. Having most of our music on the iPod meand all the mucic is with us in a compact format. But we also wanted to be able to play new CD's as we got them.
This system fits the bill. The sound is excellent, and you have the option of mounting the speakers on the wall - they are quite flat, but sound great. The is a separate subwoofer, which does take up space, but adds to the sound quality.
Issues I have is that the controls are not as intuitive as they could be (the system has to be off to set the time); you do have to point the remote directly at the system for it to respond; and the wires supplied could be longer to allow for more flexabilty in speaker placement. And finally, getting CD's in and out of the vertical player can be awarkward at times.
All in all, I'm happy with it. Great sound at a good price.
I'm no sound expert January 19, 2010 K. Wardstrom (Sunnyvale, California) But this stereo has really great sound. I can make my neighbors really sorry if I ever need to.
I've only had it for about a month but I'm extremely pleased with the iPod function. Haven't got around to using the CD part and I can't stand the radio, so that's out, but I haven't had any problems yet. Subwoofer sounds amazing and the system's all together very pretty.
Good and bad December 18, 2009 N (Chicago) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Bought this unit last year, but not through amazon. For the most part, loved the sound quality for the cost.
One hitch that bugged me was the fact that when I bought it (last year), the Ipod dock does not work with the newer generation Ipod and Iphones and the sales person had told me you could buy just the dock when they update the system. Well, TEAC updated the dock, and I just contacted TEAC directly. They told me that you can not buy any of the components separately. You have to buy a new system. I really didn't know what to say, you can not buy replacement components??? Go figure, makes no sense. With Apple keep updating their IPods and Iphone, you would think that buying a replacement dock would be an option?
Bad buttons -nice sound December 10, 2009 D. Chazanov (Los Angeles, CA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Just bought this at Costco on Black Friday for use in my classroom. Sound is fine and player doesn't have a big footprint.
I am greatly disappointed in the remote! I was counting on it to work as I move around the area where we are singing and dancing. The buttons don't respond well. I have to push and push and try to feel where exactly the contact point is to make the mp3 player respond. I see another reviewer wrote about the difficulty of using the remote, so I guess it isn't just my machine.
Good sound, some details need work November 9, 2009 Bill Bicknell (Denver, CO USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I bought this to use in the bedroom. The sound is pretty good, and there is plenty of bass. I don't use the CD player a lot, but I haven't had the problems others have reported with it. It will not play MP3 CD's. The three biggest problems:
The display is way too bright, and there is no way to dim it. We have to cover it up when we go to bed. My old Teac unit automatically dimmed when you activated the sleep timer, this is a step backwards.
It will not charge my Touch 2G, and the dock is a little sloppy to plug into.
The remote is pretty useless. The membrane buttons don't work that well, and they all feel the same. The range is quite short, and you have to be precise in aiming it.
Really though, I didn't find anything else for the price that I liked as well.
