Panasonic Full-Range Bamboo Cone Speakers With Dual Passive Radiator Design

The SC-HC3 features Panasonic's proprietary, full-range Bamboo Cone Speakers. A rigid, low density bamboo material used in the speaker helps achieve a clean responsive sound, with crisp, clear vocals. A Dual Passive Radiator design cancels unwanted vibration, helping deliver a pure bass sound with minimal noise. The diaphragm of the passive radiator is weighted to achieve linear vibration, making it possible for these slim, thin speaker units to produce a robust, full-bodied bass. Across the entire sonic range from pure, clear trebles to rich, dynamic bass, the SC-HC3 delivers an audio performance that is almost unimaginable from a system of its size.

Dedicated iPod Playback and Recharge Dock

A dedicated iPod dock allows quick, easy connection of an iPod without the need for a cable. The SC-HC3's remote control can be used to select music stored in the iPod. Music on the iPod can also be used for the wake-up timer.

CD Micro System With Front Loading Single-CD Player

The built-in CD player features a number of functions so you can play music the way you want. You can listen to songs on a CD at random or program the SC-HC3 to play tracks in a specific order. Play audio CDs, CD-R/RW discs, or load up hundreds of MP3s for even longer playing time.

Clock and AM/FM Digital Synthesizer Tuner

More than just an iPod and CD player, the SC-HC3 is also equipped with a clock and an AM/FM tuner for listening to radio broadcasts. A digital radio tuner makes it simple to pinpoint radio stations to get the most accurate reception.
