Compactness is the desire of every individual when it comes to their equipment nowadays. Bulky products are no longer in trend. Unless you’re purchasing a 41” LCD TV, smaller is better. However, the size should not compromise the quality, just like the Panasonic SC-HC30 Compact Stereo System. Let me share with you everything there is to know about this model.

Design

The Panasonic SC-HC30 is not only compact but also remarkably thin. Its slim dimensions of 4” x 19.6” x 7.9” and lightweight design of 6.2 pounds make it easy to carry and move around your apartment. Its stylish appearance is also worth mentioning. The motorized sliding door conceals the iPod dock and LCD screen, adding to its sleek look. When the door opens, you can simply enjoy the device.

It is easy to find a spot for this device and keep it in place. The front part remains open, so you don’t have to move the device repeatedly when docking or undocking your iPod or iPhone, or loading and unloading CDs.

Video

The fluorescent display on the device provides clear information about the track being played, track number on the CD, track length, artist name, album name, and other relevant details. The display dims when not in use, and the auto power-off function turns off the device after a period of inactivity.

Audio

The SC-HC30 features double passive radiators that utilize advanced bamboo cones, resulting in clear and pure vocals and crisp sound for dialogues. Each speaker delivers 20W of output power, providing a total output of 40W for excellent and highly audible sound. The system includes preset equalizers for enhanced sound, allowing you to choose from options such as thick, clear, soft, vocal, and flat equalizer modes.

The digital radio tuner can store up to 25 FM and 15 AM stations as presets, making it easy to tune in to your favorite stations or find the clearest frequency.

The CD player supports CD, CD-R, and CD-RW formatted discs, as well as music file types like MP3 and WMA. When your iPod is docked, you can play your iTunes library directly from it. The system also offers bass and treble sound controls for customized sound output, and a surround sound function that enhances the audio experience in the room or house.

Other Features

The SC-HC30 is wall-mountable, and the necessary screws are included for easy installation and space-saving. When you dock your iPod or iPhone, it automatically charges, so you don’t have to worry about running out of power or dealing with drained batteries. The built-in timer allows you to set schedules for sleep and play times, whether it’s a one-time occurrence or a daily routine, according to your preferences.

The included remote control makes it convenient to navigate through the device, even from a distance. No need to constantly get up and press buttons to access different functions. You also have the option to play music from an external audio source connected through the AUX jack.

Conclusion

As a satisfied owner of this compact, affordable, yet powerful music system, I wanted to share with you all its outstanding features. The Panasonic SC-HC30 Compact Stereo System is an excellent addition to your home entertainment setup, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it, even to my own mother, considering its affordable price. Who knows, you might want to get one too and experience its greatness.
