The Denon CEOL network music system is an impressive piece of kit. It's not just a hi-fi system, it's not just a network system, and it's not just an iPod dock - it's all of these things, and much more. It provides an incredible level of features for the money, and is sure to please!
The CEOL provides a huge host of features - see below for some of its many great features, but most importantly its a great quality, simple system that should give you everything you need to access all your music with ease, and to enjoy it - a great quality system.
As a hi-fi system
Simply put, it provides everything you would expect from any mini or micro system. It can playback your CD collection, including CD-R and CD-RW, and supports WMA or MP3. It has a built in FM and AM radio tuner, and a front USB port to enable you to play back from a memory stick. It also has a 3.5mm headphone jack in, so you can play back from pretty much anything you might have to hand.
As well as that, the iPod dock on the top will enable you to both charge and playback at the same time. Of course, all these need to sound good - and they do! The CEOL punches out music with energy and vigour for such a small system.
As a network player
With its built in wi-fi, you can opt to wire (which for any system always gives the best results) or use wirelessly for all your music needs.
The CEOL can access any music files stored on your network, and can play back MP3, FLAC and WMA files. it can also access the internet to play music services such as Napster and Last.fm. Even better, it can access internet radio stations, giving you a HUGE number of stations to access from your own home.
As an iPhone/iPod device
As well as having its handy built in iPod dock, the CEOL has been built with the iPhone in mind. Firstly, you can download the Denon Remote app here to enable you to control your CEOL unit with this well designed and usefull app.
Secondly, as an optional extra, you can add Apple AirPlay to your CEOL by clicking here. This will enable you to stream wirelessly your music collection from your iPod or iPhone directly onto your CEOL.
