The AM/FM digital tuner provides auto tuning, auto scanning, and memory for up to 24 stations. It also ensures virtually drift-free reception. The Panasonic RX-ES25 has a motorized front-loading CD player that uses a MASH 1-bit digital-to-analog converter to assure faithful CD sound. Playback options include 24-track random-access programming, random play and repeat play (track or disc). The cassette player uses Tape Program Search to quickly find desired tracks and can automatically set tape bias for normal and metal tapes. CD recording is made easy with synchro start, which begins to play the CD automatically when the cassette's record button is pressed.

Other features include a clock, play/record/sleep timers, full function remote control, soft tape eject, a backlit blue LCD screen, jog dial, and a stylish silver exterior. The Panasonic RX-ES25 includes an AC adapter.

It will also run on eight D batteries--plus four AA cells for the clock--for portable use.
