General Comments

I bought my Panasonic RX-ED50 three years ago and it has provided faultless service. The quality of sound is very good. I actually bought this instead of a BOSE CD/Radio as the quality of sound was good (if not quite as good) and it had many more features that I have found useful. The motorised CD-tray is a nice feature on a portable, as are the fully electronic control systems for the tape decks.

I never used batteries, so my rating is a guess. However, the backup batteries did not run down in the three years since buying the machine. I used the main battery compartment to store the remote control!

Sadly, I have just had mine stolen so I am looking to find a replacement, and as yet I have found nothing to match the features and tasteful styling of this machine. If only it would play CD/RW disks - a failing that has proved suprisingly annoying for my uses.

None the less, I think I will be buying another as a replacement as it provides an excellent feature set, good sound quality, and neat design at a reasonable cost.

    May be a bit of good news for you Alloam... there's a remote (genuine Panasonic) available at Amazon. Good review too.

    I agree with this review because... he gave a good account of the product after three years service and not an immediate review. I hope my comment about a replacement remote was helpful to him.
    Thanks Alloam :-)
