Before I start regarding this system, a word of advice, really shop around, I personally saved over £100 by buying this over the internet compared with what the high street electrical stores were charging. I paid £327 for the DF-102 System and £68.99 for the SF102 speakers as seperates, instore the system sells for £499.99.
It has an information display which shows the following:-
MUSIC CD'S
Total number of tracks Total playing time Track number Elapsed time
MP3/WMA Files
Total number of folders Number of tracks Folder number Elapsed time Track Name Artist Name Album Name
The Rear Panel of the unit has:-
Line out terminals Digital Out Optical terminals System Connector Jacks AC outlt Power Supply Cord
This CD Player is very simple to use and has a great display, all the functions on the CD Player can be used from the Remote Control.
The AM-FM Stereo/DAB Receiver
The measurements are as follows:-
250mm width x 250mm depth x 74mm high
It weighs 4.0kg
On the front panel of this unit are the following:-

On the Rear of the panel are the following:-

The Information Display on the front of the unit displays various information relating to the name of the radio staion, preset station names, volume level, time, function, tone adjustment level etc.
Speakers
The speakers have a total 120 watts power handling with a 2 way bass reflex design. The speakers measure:-
264mm high x 182mm wide x 233 depth and weigh 5 kg each.
My Opinion
This is a sound system completly worthy of its price. It has an all metal casework and as well as sounding out of this world it also looks stunning and because of it coming in two seperates is very easy to locate anywhere.
I love the way the DAB radio displays what song and artist are playing on the radio stations and the true crystal reception you receive. My CD's have never sounded so good, in fact the quality of sound this hi-fi gives makes you think they are CD's you have never heard before.
I also love the idea that you can build this hi-fi up, you are able to add a Cassette Deck (DRR-F102) to the system if you wish which is priced around £149.00, and also they do an I-Pod and Docking Station to, which makes this HI-FI even more alluring.
I am no stereo or electronics buff, but I am really impressed with this stereo, it's ease of use, it's style and I love the control of the remote, the fact I don't even have to leave my chair, unless of course I want to change the CD, unfortunately that is one thing it lacks. The remote is slightly larger than most, but it has the added function of I-Pod control, Cassettes etc already on it, so if I do add to my system I can function all the new components from it too. I would totally recommend this hi-fi to one and all and it really is worth every penny I paid for it. Brilliant, and what's more I cannot fault a thing, and I have hardly needed to use the Instruction Manual as it is so very easy to use and program in.

Looks very stylish. Glad I still have my stereo system. Just waiting for vinyl to make a comeback and I'll be back in style. Because I live in a rural area, I don't have access to digital tv. Does that mean I don't have access to DAB radio too? Does anyone know?

Nice review - we have a Denon system at home that we've had for a few years now - daily use, often for long periods and still as good as the day we bought it (have a read of my review) - worth upgrading the speaker wire though - the few extra quid can make a big difference
