Great Sound from this little unit....

I just bought myself this nifty little mini-stereo unit for my living room after my cheap JVC player went kaput. Set-up was a cinch, even for someone with 2 left thumbs like me! These 2 little speakers emit beautiful AND powerful sound, and I get excellent AM/FM radio reception as well!

My only complaint is that the remote does not have a function to open/close the CD drawer, which is my main use for the unit. But it is a minor complaint since I would have to get up to change the CD anyway! Highly recommended (you can get it at Best Buy for $109) if you're just looking for a unit to put in your living room or a bedroom - it fills the room with beautiful music!

Good little setup

I bought this unit for my wife for 2 reasons; I wanted my wife to be able to dock her IPod Touch 2g into a stereo for her dressing room and it had an antenna input. We live in a really hilly area and, although were are relatively close to the station she listens to, we get bad reception. I paired it with a Terk amplified FM antenna and still get pretty poor reception. I think it's us not the unit. Once I put it into mono, the FM sounded better. You have to fuss a bit to get the IPod and the unit to work together but it sounds good once you do. I deducted one star becuase of the clunky interface and the full range speakers but I think this is a good setup for a bedroom or other secondary room where convenience trumps accoustics. Well worth the price.

Exactly what I'd expect from Sony!

I have a fairly large bedroom, and this stereo is perfect for it. The sound quality is great, very clear, and it's plenty loud. At half volume it's already as loud as I'd ever play it, and it still sounds good. The remote's great, and you could theoretically completely control your iPod using it. But since the stereo doesn't display the name of the song playing, or the menu you're browsing (it just says "iPod"), you have to squint at your iPod's screen. This might just be my iPod though; I'm using an ancient iPod mini. The system doesn't come with a dock plate for it, but it works just fine. Nothing particularly impressive about cd playback, but it's nice to be able to play mp3 cds. The FM antennae included is very long; it's probably be easy to connect to an external one, but the one that comes with it doesn't work very well. Overall, a great stereo that I would (and am) recommend to friends.
