The entire MD system, including the speakers and the main unit integrating the CD player, cassette deck, and tuner, measures just 48.5cm wide, so it's easy to set up in even the smallest room.

The XR-MD510 features a high-powered 60W amplifier, virtual stereo QSURROUND to create natural stereophonic surround effects, and a BBE sound processing system for precise mid- and high-range sound. It is a compact unit, yet offers big, high-quality sound.
