This single unit Panasonic offers everything you need for a 5.1 channel home theater or stereo music system in one compact chassis EXCEPT for the speakers. That means that you can choose speakers according to your taste & budget. The specs boast of 1000 watts total, but a more realistic (& conservative) estimate: 40 watts/channel RMS. The 5-disc player/changer plays a variety of disc types including DVD video & CD audio. Built in FM/AM radio tuner + 2 more high level inputs. Outputs: HDMI, optical, standard RCA. Front panel: IPOD docking station, selector switch, subwoofer level control. Everything works well. For a demonstration send an email or phone 801 487-3047
