Is this system comparable with the Panasonic SC-HC28 which can accept an iPod 5? Is quality equal considering the difference in price

It is set up to accept IPhone 3,4,and 4s. I'm not sure about available adapters. The sound quality is good for such a low priced system. The door that opens for playing and charging the iPhone is a little flimsy.

Definitely the IPod 5th generation. It's faster, sharper, and overall better. Though if money is the issue, IPod 4th generation is still a great product! :-)

yes you will. ipod has a wacky sound quality, perhaps the mac is better. The iBasso is great and it is a DAC meaning it can convert digital waves to analog waves. The sound is more realistic. I'm really satisfied with it.

Thanks, Darryl. I'm looking for a decent stereo system I can use with iPhone, iPod and iPad. I'd also like it to have CD capabilities. There are so many ways to go!

For the price this product works well with an iPhone 5 but this head unit does not have a HDMI video input and will not be able to display video as well as apps being streamed from an iPhone 5 due to the iPhone 5 not having the capability to output analog video signals. The Pandora app works just fine with the head unit and the audio for navigation will come through but nothing will be displayed on the head unit. To solve Christian L.'s issue the head unit needs to be set up again and in the initial setup AV-IN will need to be selected rather than iPod. I experienced this same issue. My assumption is that the iPod selection will only work if the JVC iPod cable is being used. By selecting AV-IN I am able to get sound using both a lightening cable with my iPhone 5 as well as my second gen iPod using the 20 pin iPod USB cable.

i have the same problem. there is a comparison option on Panasonic website, you can take a look and see what features are more important to you.

A few testing co. like CNet and CR rated the Panasonic over the Sony. They are the tech people and I am not. And for the Panasonic to be at $400 is something I felt could not be beat. Now my only problem is picking out an SD card.

I have Ipod Classic. It works great. Good volume and clear sound for my aerobic class. Love it. I hope someone with Ipod touch will give you a 'Yes" as well.

I actual still have both the H20 and the ZS3 - I really love them both, but if you make me choose - the Panasonic wins! Four factors, stereo vidoes, the auto lens cap, smaller size, and SD Card instead of the Sony cards. I think you will really like the Panasonic!

I am not sure as I had a 2nd or 3rd iPod.. but i would imagine it is universal to be honest. The system was great for the money. How much are they now? The Eton was a GREAT purchase for me!

The ipod, even ipad works and sound great. With the ipod you have to buy an inexpensive connector though.

My daughter has the 5th Gen iPod and yes it works. It comes with several different inserts to be able to use different devices. Good sound and super cute even when not in use. Hope this helps.

Because Ipod 5 has a smaller Adapter port, im not sure what systems work for it, do research online, the only other option is using the Headphone jack and use a double sided cord to plug into most standard systems

As long as the iPod has a 3.5mm headphone jack, which is the normal standard for such things, it'll be fine. If not, or if you want to use it with other devices, then you'll need a jack adapter. These are really lightweight but not necessarily "fragile" so you're hardly aware you've got them on and the sound is really good.

I have a 5th gen. iPod touch and all the elements work with it. Pleasantly surprised considering the price. Very well worth it.
