Sunday, 28th February 2010 TEAC's do-it-all CR-H358i TEAC's top-of-the-range all in one receiver - the CR-H358i - not only plays CDs, but DVD and DivX discs. Another step up from the TEAC CR-H258i, the 358i drops SD card playback in favour of beefier amplification (2 x 50 Watts) and a 1080p HDMI output. The TEAC CR-H358i features DAB and FM (with RDS station naming and RadioText) reception and space for 40 of your favourite stations as presets. Considering its playback options, the Teac is a very compact unit, supporting DVD-Video, DVD+R/+RW, VCD, SVCD, CD, CD-R/RW, MP3, WMA Picture CD and DivX (versions 3.11, 4.x, 5.x). DAB station is easier on this model than its brothers, using buttons instead of a dial to pick stations from the list. The USB interface is located on the front panel, while the iPod docking connector for the included TEAC DS-21 dock, is hidden away around the back alongside FM and DAB aerial connectors, sub out phono socket and a pair of RCA stereo phono inputs - one with a loop back for monitoring of recordings. Also included is a HDMI socket, component video out, S-video out and both optical and coaxial digital outputs. There are timer on and sleep timer functions. The comprehensive remote controls iPod functions when the supplied dock is attached. The TEAC CR-H358i's dimensions are 215 x 110 x 360mm, weighing in at 4.1kg, and is available to buy now, with a price tag of around GBP350.00. |
