Why is this categorized as a compact stereo?

This is because it has a radio built in. But you have to have a cheat code to access it.

it's a double din stereo....meaning it takes up the space of 2 standard stereos...which is the size of most current stereos and dins.

The Radio does not have two speakers for stereo. The FM stations show when receiving stereo and sounds good, but no separation of speakers for stereo effect.

In Sound Properties, there is a Stereo Mix option (IDT High Definition Codec). Not sure what it does or if works.

I don't know but with the digital inputs we don't use cd's much anymore. Seems easier to rip the cd's to a usb drive. anyway seem like the stereo is easy to operate and we are not very high tech people. we love it

There are RCA outs to plug it into a stereo system. Please note that these are already a line level signal. If you plug it into the 'phono' jack of older stereos, the sound will be distorted. Best to plug it into 'tape' or 'aux' or 'cd'.

I'm going to guess that it comes from creative marketing. Most likely they are referring to the fact that the audio outputs can be connected to a surround sound to achieve 5.1.

Stereo and sounds incredible for it's size and what it does. But keep in mind the speakers are very close to each other so stereo separation is not good.It does have an audio setting called StereoXL which is a three setting DSP (low, medium, high) to create the illusion of better stereo separation. This works quite well on many audio sources like internet stations etc..

Not exactly sure. I know in the old days I used to purchase a stereo amp and then run all my equipment (cassette tape, cd, record player, tv) off of it and speakers were attached as well. This has plenty good sound for tv, cd, dvd, am/fm radio. Does everything I want it to do. Just smaller than what I had in the past. Hope this answers your question.

I installed it on my work PC and have used it to transmit audio to my bluetooth headphones and my bluetooth boombox (not at the same time, though). It transmits music fine, but it is NOT in stereo. On my headphones, it only comes through in one speaker, making it unusable for my purposes.

Absolutely! That was a key reason besides the sound factor why I ordered this unit. Hope this helps. It's a great unit!

I guess it depends on the size of the stereo.. But I would think it would work well for a small system. Plus there is no noise, that would be a huge plus.

I'm not sure - sound comes out of all the speakers, but it seems more like basic stereo to me.

What class of question is this dude? Who cares ? what really matters is that I buy and I'm very disappointed because it hasn't all the power I thought It would have. sounds like any stereo

It's stereo; you just don't get a very pronounced stereo image because the L & R drivers are only a few inches apart.

My wife uses this system for audio books and believes that it is not stereo.

I do not really know the stereo did not last long enough for me to find out. I would not buy.
