Great Sony Product |
|
I love this stereo. It fits in my basement rec room and the two speakers sound great. Compact enough so it does not take up a lot of space. In addition to playing CD's and my iPod, I can connect my XM SkyFi2 radio into it. I had to order an extra home kit for it from XM Fan Store as the one I have is in use in another part of my house. Couple connections and antenna alignment and I was set. I really like this stereo unit a lot and Jas-store delivered it quick and I just used basic shipping. |

Elegant design. |
I purchased this model at Best Buy for $109 after trying and returning an all-in-one Memorex shelf unit that was more expensive. I should remember that for the future, "Sony no baloney." I have a larger Sony component system for the past 16 years which never gave me any trouble. I like this model for the following reasons:
1. Good sound. 50w total power makes a big difference compared with lower rated shelf systems. It will definitely fill a room without putting it on maximum volume.
2. Elegant design and white display. Shows clock when unit is powered off on standby.
3. Controls are easy to figure out on unit and on remote control.
4. CD is sliding tray type on the front. Not the top loading type with a button in the center. I hate those.
5. Headphones jack is in the front where I want it.
Be aware though, that the "EQ" is really just treble and bass controls from -4 to +4. There is no balance control. This was not really a disappointment. The sound is great.
What I didn't like was minor:
1, The rear of the particle board speakers is not painted like the black enclosure. Depending on where you place the system it might not look as nice. You could always paint them yourself. I put mine where you won't see this. If you put these speakers on a shelf, you won't notice.
2. The supplied AM antennae is ok, but the FM antenna is just a single wire that attaches to a coax terminal. I could not get much reception where I put the unit. But that's much better than systems that just have a single non-detachable wire coming out. Because, with the coax terminal I attached a $10 RCA FM/VHF/UHF antennae which works fine.
All in all I still give it 5 stars because it does the job for me with no headache.

Sony CMTBX20i Micro Hi-Fi Shelf System
I returned this product without even plugging it in. As soon as I took it out of the box I noticed that the audio in button was on the front of the machine vs the back. Big "no-no" for me as it did not allow me to use my XM plug in unless I wanted unsightly audio wires on the front of the machine. |

Great product-highly recommended |
|
I am very impressed with this system. It has the sleek styling you expect from Sony and the quality too. The speakers have good sound especially considering their size. We had been searching for a system with multiple cd trays to replace our old one, but settled on this and we are very glad that we did-it made us really appreciate ipod technology. The system is also the perfect home for an old ipod (1.4.1) with a defunct battery. Really great product and very well priced for what you get. |
