Customer Reviews:
- Error in Product Info: NO RDS Tuner: After searching for an updated mini system that allows me to play mp3, I came across this system that seemed to fit my bill. The DR-H300 caught my eye as it plays mp3, divx, and host of other format. Though price was a little high, I was looking forward as this system featured a USB and an aux input. This allows one who does not happen to own an ipod to connect other various forms of MP3 player. In addition there is also a HDMI output. I promptly ordered ordered this from JR when it became available as they were the only company I can locate that carry this system. The DR-H300 is an updated system from their well-refined line, though not highly known in the states.
After receiving the unit, I was a little miffed as the system does NOT include any speakers. For $399 TEAC could have included a set of speakers. However upon further examiniation, I came to realize that the advertised RDS tuner feature is not available for systems in the US (Amazon has since corrected specs, despite what the picture shows). The feature advertised here is only available for systems destined for Europe. How lame can that be? Come on TEAC, even Denon has already included this as part of their feature. Why the prejudice against US market? Despite the drawback, I was willing to overlook this discrepancy. Upon inserting my first CD, I heard a loud screeching as if the disc was being eaten up. By manipulating the drive a little, the noise slowly went away. Apparently the disk drive was not align correctly. Another huge drawback is the hum/buzz that emits from the system. The sound is not evident at sound level of 0. At sound level of 1, all that is heard is the hum/buzz. At sound level of 2 and above the music is able to drown out most of the annoying noise. I connected the system to a Belkin PF60 power surge protector/line cleaner. To no avail, the hum was still evident. I promptly sent the unit back to JR. Hopefully the new unit will be better, but my expectation to the TEAC minisystem has been severely tempered.
