All the other home systems have one sub woofer, and small sound units for front left and front right. Well, this model has the front left/right units with 4 speakers and one bass reflex whole. The sub woofer speaker is on the side of the box. I can just imagine how much work was to assemble those units (wood boxes) and I understand why in the next model (DK 20) the manufacturer gave up the idea.

I tried to find another model with 3 way speakers front units, or with 2 subwoofers; not a single one.

It plays MP3, even if it is not writen on the main unit.

It is comfortable to have a DVD, MP3, radio and tape (autoreverse) in a toy. I spend some time listening various models and none was even close.

It has an auxiliary input. I could be happier if it had an output, to be able to enter into my computer with sources from SC-DK10. It has only a mono output, for an eventual subwoofer. The front units have already 200 wats, so I do not think I would ever need more. It has 380 wats total.

There are plenty of audio settings to play with. What I hate is:
- not having digital inputs, neither optical, neither coax
- not having s-video input
- no composite output
- no output for the sound to record in another system
- no microphone input for the Canadian version
- plastic speakers for center front and rear

The Middle East version has a better center speaker.

I hunted this model for a while. I waited until I bought the display model with 640 Canadian $, because I did not want to pay 829 Canadian $, the original price.
