Panasonic SC-AK450 Mini System

Powerful, Dynamic Sound
Our mini systems feature powerful amplifiers and large, efficient speakers that provide smooth sound at high volumes with deep bass impact.

Listen to Your Portable Audio Player's Tunes Through Your Stereo
The built-in Music Port allows you to easily connect your compatible portable audio player, such as an iPod® or other MP3 player, and listen to music from your portable player through your mini system's incredible sound system. You can even add Panasonic's convenient Universal Dock for iPod® (SH-PD10, sold separately) for easy playback and recharge.

Play Tons of Music
Keep the party going for hours with the built-in 5 -CD changer. Jump quickly from disc to disc using the five direct access keys or use the random play feature to add some variety. Play audio CDs, CD-R/RW discs, or load up hundreds of MP3s for even longer playing time.

Why Stop at CDs?
The music doesn't have to end when all your CDs are played out. Pop a tape into the feather-touch cassette deck or tune into your favorite station with the digital synthesizer FM/AM tuner. Save up to 30 of your favorite stations using the preset memory and call them up later. And for more music options, this system is even XM- ready.

No Need To Get Up
Park yourself in a comfortable chair and stay there thanks to the included full function remote control. The large display makes it easy to see disc and track info from a distance.
