Panasonic's SC-PM29 executive microsystem offers style and power, pumping 70 watts per channel from its sleek, black-and-silver casing. The SC-PM29 includes a single-well cassette recorder and a five-CD changer with Panasonic's exclusive MASH (multi-stage noise shaping technology) 1-bit digital-to-analog converter for clear, accurate sound reproduction. And the system plays not only prerecorded CDs but home-brewed CD-Rs and CD-RWs filled with MP3 and WMA (Windows Media Audio) files.

The quick and quiet disc-changing system swaps CDs in as little as four seconds, so your next listening selection is never more than a few seconds away. Listening in random-play mode helps present tracks from different discs more seamlessly than other changers are able to. A feature called Compression Digital Re-Master Processing compensates for the high harmonic frequencies lost through the MP3 and WMA compression, resulting in more natural-sounding music. In some cases, standard CDs and other sources will also benefit from this processing.

To ensure powerful, clear, and virtually distortion-free audio, the system features a bi-amplified, biwired configuration, which splits the amplifier's labor to independently power each speaker driver for more efficient power usage. Super Sound EQ boosts the low, medium, and high frequencies at the touch of a button for a dynamic boost in sound without complicated EQ adjustments, while four preset equalizer curves are also included.

Other features include a drift-free, digital-synthesized tuner with 30-station (15 FM, 15 AM) presets, TPS (Tape Program Sensor, which lets you search forward or backward across up to nine cassette songs), detachable speaker grilles (in case you prefer the look of naked tweeters and woofers), and a multifunction remote control.
