Panasonic has launched a new stereo system designed to be used with Apple’s iPhone and iPod Touch, the Panasonic D-Dock SC-H40.
The Panasonic D-Dock SC-H40 features a slim design, measuring just 69mm thick at its thinnest part, and it features integrated speakers and a digital amplifier, plus a built-in CD player.
Advanced Features and Connectivity
There is also an AM/FM tuner, plus an SD/SDHC/SDXC memory card slot, and a sliding door that you can hide your iPhone or iPod Touch behind. It comes with a remote which lets you control everything on the stereo. This remote control feature is particularly useful for users who want to manage their music experience from a distance, making it convenient to switch tracks, adjust volume, or change settings without having to be near the device.
It also comes with Bluetooth 2.1+EDR so your iPhone or iPod Touch doesn’t need to be docked with the Panasonic D-Dock SC-H40 for you to play your favorite tunes. This wireless capability ensures that you can enjoy your music without the hassle of physical connections, providing a seamless and clutter-free experience. Additionally, the Bluetooth 2.1+EDR standard ensures a stable and high-quality audio transmission, so you can enjoy your music without interruptions or loss of sound quality.
Recording and Playback Options
One of the standout features of the Panasonic D-Dock SC-H40 is its ability to record from the AM/FM radio and transfer music from CDs to the memory cards in the SD card slot. This feature allows users to easily digitize their music collection and enjoy it on various devices. For instance, you can record your favorite radio shows or songs and listen to them later at your convenience. The ability to transfer music from CDs to SD cards also means you can create a portable music library that you can take with you wherever you go.
The Panasonic D-Dock SC-H40 will go on sale in Japan in March for around $420. This price point positions it as a premium audio system, offering a range of advanced features and high-quality components that justify the investment for serious music enthusiasts.
There are no details as yet on when we are likely to see the Panasonic D-Dock SC-H40 in the US or Europe. However, given Panasonic’s global reach and the popularity of iPhone and iPod Touch devices, it is expected that the D-Dock SC-H40 will eventually be available in these markets. Potential buyers in the US and Europe should keep an eye out for announcements regarding its release.
The Panasonic D-Dock SC-H40 is a versatile and feature-rich stereo system that caters to the needs of modern music lovers. Its slim design, integrated speakers, digital amplifier, and various connectivity options make it a compelling choice for anyone looking to enhance their audio experience. Whether you want to listen to music from your iPhone, iPod Touch, CDs, or radio, the D-Dock SC-H40 has you covered.
