Summary: I purchased this, and I think it's a great system. Great sound, and the ability to open the iPod and CD sections with a hand wave is a cool feature. The design is slick, and I like the thin size of it. I've played around with the Internet radio too. Some people will balk at having to buy the vTuner app, but if you're not going to use Internet radio, skip buying it. Of course, if you're not using Internet radio, you may want to look into the SC-HC35, which costs less, and has the same basic function as this unit.
The only real issue I have with this unit is that it seems to be designed for the iPod Touch or the iPhone, as opposed to the iPod Classic. When skipping to the next track, there are times when the system will fast forward about 5 seconds, instead of moving to the next track. This happens about every 5 or 6 tracks.
Aside from that small gripe, this really is a nice system.

- Manufacturer: Panasonic
- Part number: SC-HC55
- Description: Panasonic's SC-HC55 is equipped with proprietary audio reproduction technologies to produce a level of sound performance to meet the needs of discerning music lovers. Digital connection of an iPod/iPhone allows the compact stereo systems to process music signals in their original form, thus delivering sound that is faithful to the original for enhanced enjoyment of downloaded music. The SC-HC55 boasts wireless music streaming and Internet radio control. Music lovers and talk radio enthusiasts can enjoy the hundreds of stations offered by Internet radio and use the system's convenient features to search for stations and program their favorites. The SC-HC55 is equipped with Bluetooth functionality, enabling the further expansion of listening options by the ability to receive audio transmission and play wirelessly from an iPodTouch/iPhone/iPad or compatible mobile phone in one's hand, without docking. The SC-HC55 is also equipped with Bluetooth re-master circuitry, which compensates for audio signals that are lost during Bluetooth wireless transmission, thus further enhancing the quality of digital music. Designed to meet the needs of iPod users who want to enjoy their favorite songs with high quality sound at home, the SC-HC55 employs proprietary pure direct sound system digital signal processing to reduce distortion and deliver an exceptionally pure, clear sound that rivals the quality of larger hi-fi systems and brings out the best in any musical genre. The distortion that is commonly generated by the scattered reflection of sounds from the body surface is dramatically reduced by digital signal processing (DSP) correction to reproduce pure and clear sound. Thanks to its sleek, ultra slim design, the compact stereos can be set up in places where conventional stereo systems will not fit. The SC-HC55 sports a motorized, touch-free sensor door which is equipped with a motion sensor, enabling it to open and close by simply passing a hand over it.
