Great styling. Cool blue back-lit display. Sounds good. Seperate Amplifier nice touch, as is sliding CD door. Definitely different from the rest.

lack of tape deck. Humming noise from Amp audible when system is turned down low.

Overall an excellent system. Looks very eye-catching and has some really innovative features.
Minidisc is also recordable and sound is excellent. Lack of tape deck, but that's not something I miss very much anyway.

sound quality and very sexy design

this product is great. for the price and what you get it is great value. i have not had any problems with the sliding door and it pumps out some great bass. even when the sound is turned up to max (which is VERY loud), there is still a lot of clarity to the music. lots of innovative features with cool programming tricks.

styling design,clear sound

lack of bass & not able go to high volume
the cd sliding tray have problem twices.

I been attract by the design & the sales person have tested the product in the sound room, at the time the sound look great but when in my living room the sound turn to be diffrence sound.
I only can say than value for the design but not the performent of the set.

Loud Volume at minimized noise, sleek look, great control, great price

virtually none...sound quality is what you expect from Pioneer...not the best but adequate for its price

The IS-21MD is perfect for customers who need a affordable system with above the average style and quality. Its combination of MD and CD is extremely useful. Its style really stands out from the rest...suitable for system owners who pursues look and identity. Definitely a great choise for showing off. It is also the kind of system that throws out loud volume at minimized noise...perfect for Rave and Heavy Metal.

when listening in a small room the bass is very strong, goes very loud (volume).
Very nice design with a cool display. The peakers have a chrome touch. Easy to use remote.

The cd tray is a little too sensitive, sometimes opens all by itselfs, then its best to dissable the beep.

in the beginning it was a desaster. Every time i went to bed and allmost fell asleep the cd tray opened and closed all by itself a couple of times, very anoing.
But when that got fixed it was allright. When played very loud, the sound is very clear, and the bass very strong.
The power output meter is a nice touch.
Good for ambient & Trance house especially when the spatial button is pushed...
