Specs:

This unit has 1 CD, 1 MD, Tuner, Tape, Optical In (for making a recording digitally from another MD) and Line In.

The CD has been improved by adding in the feature of Cd-Text and it can play CD-RWs. The MD is basically the same as the DHC-MD333. You can now have the option of actually titleing up to 20 CD's. Note: this function does not edit the titles onto your CD it just memorizes the title you input and whenever the same CD is loaded it recalls it and displays it.

Editing the MD is very easy and there are 7 basic editing functions : "Name", "Track Erase", "Move", "Combine", "Divide", "A-B Erase" and "All Erase".

The Tuner is very easy to use because it automatically tunes into the best frequency for a particular radio station so you do not have to fiddle around and adjust it ureself. The tape mode I found particularly useful (even though I did not have the seprate tape deck add on) because I connected my computer's sound card to the input behind the system and used it as my speakers (note the input jacks were originally designed for the tape deck, you also need to supply youre own cable if you want to connect it to your computer).

Optical In is bascially for MD to MD dubbing but i didn't find it that useful because I did my MD to MD dubbing through the Line In mode because my portable MD player didn't have a optical out jack.

The DHC-MD373 also comes with 6 preset sound modes: Rock, Pop, Classic, Jazz, Dance and Flat. DBFB also comes with this machine and it stands for Dynamic Bass Feedback which basically increases the bass (by the way the bass is very good on the system not too hard but not too soft either, it's just right).

Although this unit has no jog dial labelling your MD or CDs is still very easy. There are 3 different modes of play for both the CD and MD: Disc (which is normal), Shuffle and Program (to program tracks).

Another feature that i thought was very useful was the Alarm Clock, you can set the system to tell it when to turn on and play music to wake you up and turn off at a specific time so you don't have to turn it off yourself.

Style:

Very stylish, it goes well with any desk. The buttons have lights which glow when pressed. The MD and CD both have light indicators to tell the user if there is a disk inside. When there is a disck it lights red, when there is no disk the light goes off : )

For all those people planning to buy this model for the U.S. there is no need to buy a extra power changer because there is one built in. All you have to do is switch it and you're ready to go. Although you may have to buy a plug adpator since the power plug is in a different shape, its very cheap though only $@ at any hardware store.

Overall this unit is great! I love all the neat functions and the sound. The remote is designed very well because it allows easy navigation through discs with many tracks. I hope this information helps!
