CD Cassette Player Retro Record Player Music Centre Hi Fi With Full Size Remote Control & Record to MP3, Vintage Wood

Why would you not clarify that the electricity plug is only for the UK? This is useless to us in Australia.

Before I ordered this music centre I read a lot of the reviews about it on here...and wasnt too sure whether I should buy it. However, I bit the bullet and ordered one. It arrived the very next day which was excellent service, and when I opened the box I was very pleasantly surprised. It has that vintage retro look, in wood not plastic, which I like, and having had a cursory look at the set up manual (men dont read manuals!) I found it was a very simple task to get the centre working, as long as you remember to switch it on at the back of the machine! The remote control is a bonus, which I have found to be so easy to operate. All the options...HiFi, radio, CD and tape all work perfectly. It gets a bit of getting used to waiting for the toner arm to drop on the HiFi unit, but the sound quality is excellent for the price paid, and though there is no treble/bass option, there are settings for different music styles which compensates. I also like the dial tuning on the radio, reminded me of my youth when all radios required manual tuning...none of this modern pre-set station selection. I've only had the music centre for 2 days, but my initial impression is that it is a quality machine which will certainly satisfy my need to be able to play my vinyl and CDs again. If you're looking for a good quality value for money music centre, I'd recommend this one...it sounds as good as it looks! Just a quick note to point out that some who have bought this have complained that when playing a record, the deck switches off before the end of the record. This is because there is an auto-stop function which assumes every record is of the same duration. If you switch the auto-stop function off, (the switch is next to the lever that raises the toner arm) the record will play to the end. Hope this helps.

I read reviews of all the current all-in-one sound systems for sale. I was up and down in making a choice but finally went for the light wood option of this model. Have to say I was pleasantly surprised. Its great. Unpacked easily, tried the CD player first and got to grips with the sound - have settled for the rock option for the moment which has a reasonable bass and is loud enough without distortion. Yes the CD holder is a little wobbly but aren't they all? Just be gentle I then put on a really old vinyl - the original My Fair Lady from the stage version of 1956!!! I kid you not. It was perfect - not a bump, not a skip. I have to say I bought a cleaning set with the system and it seemed to pick up all the dust and hair . I suggest you clean your vinyls before use. The record player has a manual aspect to it but that's part of going old school, along with the radio dials. One thing I will mention is that the manual advises the removal of the turntable transit screw. We had a good look for it - the quick start guide clarifies that it is no longer required! When recording from CD to USB you can choose between recording just one track or the whole CD. The remote is effective once you are familiar with the buttons. My only regret is that I forgot to check if this system had bluetooth capabilites. I should perhaps have gone up to the 9-in1 version. But that's on me. Thankfully so far everything is working well, the sound is good and it looks fantastic. I couldn't be more pleased. It was a great buy for the price

I noticed this in one of my paper catalogues, and checked Amazon to see if I could find it cheaper. As expected I found it more than £100 less! I've yet to use this music centre, but am looking forward to that! I recommend both the item and its seller. Thanks!

Very poor sound quality for the cost. Mostly made of MDF with a basicly realish wood top. Sensor and indication lights misaligned in holes. Cassettes are a bit of a pain to get in. I wouldn't say its worth almost £200. Just really a peice of furniture for us. Will now be purchasing something different to play our vinlys on.
