KENWOOD DC-20 Sales Manual MINI-COMPONENT SYSTEM
Product Policy Today's consumers are most likely to approach audio in a much more relaxed way than formerly. They look for not only good sound, attractive styling and easy operation, but also for a more effective and pleasing use of living space. The freedom to take their favorite music on vacation is also a primary concern. However, when it comes to quality of sound reproduction, many of the new mini-systems fall far short of expectations.
