5 out of 5 stars WOW Great System!   June 4, 2010

I've been an avid buyer of individual stereo components all my life. I needed to replace my receiver and decided to try a shelf system instead. I am not sorry, I love it! Its as easy as plugging a cord into the wall to set up and the sound definitely met my standards. I love all the features especially that I can play my Ipod on it. The only negative I would mention is that I wouldn't consider it a Mini Shelf System. I'd consider this a Maxi Shelf System, it was a lot larger than I thought, but fortunately I had room for it. I Definitely would buy this again!

I cranked up the the shelf system and was immediately impressed with the sound quality. That is, after I fiddled with the buttons and controls for a while, somewhat frustrated, until I determined it was time to read the instructions. They were concise and easy to follow in a step-by-step fashion, in English only (Spanish in a separate booklet, thank you) then enjoying the system became much easier. I was disappointed only sightly: my music preference is Classical, and the buttons to select the tone preference offers every thing but. Then my wife came in the room, took a look and asked "where do you put the quarters in?" It does look much like a slot, or perhaps an oversized booth juke box. A little more pleasing aesthetics would not draw so much attention away from the music in my home. Then there was my big error. The "mini shelf system" description led me to assume the control box would fit in my entertainment shelf system. After all, the shelves are adjustable. Well, height was no problem, nor was width. But the depth was a no-fit. Check the measurements before you order, dummy. Price was right at J&R through Amazon, and delivery on time by UPS. Now can enjoy hours of Classical music such as Beethoven's beautiful 8th Symphony (in the Reggae, or should it be the Salsa mode?) in superb, crisp, clear sound. Other features such as the iPod dock and FM/AM are useful and outstanding, too. I'm assuming I can hook up my old turntable or tape player when I get around to it, and can find the space. If I could only find a place to put it other than my cluttered desk. Buy it. Worth the money.

Easy to set up. The sound is great. More fatures that I prob need. Suits my purposes. Way bigger that I expected & heavy. Too big for the shelf I had planned to use. Only negative is that you can hear the disk player spinning.


5 out of 5 stars Awesome Unit!   December 5, 2009

I have purchased several "mini" type systems over the last few yeaars, looking for that perfect combination of iPod play / control and sound quality. Most fell flat in the sound quality department, especially bass response. This sytem is far from being "mini" in any respect.

However, this system sounds brilliant. I don't have to blast it to get good sounding / feeling bass. The bass boosting function (X-Groove) really puts out rich, thumping bass. Regardless of what my friends say, I still love my Disco tunes from the 70s - they sound great on this system.

I was quite surprised when the item arrived - the box is HUGE. The system is pretty big as well. I was worried, however, when the box arrived as it seemed very badly damaged / ripped and re-taped. I was afraid to open the box, but did, and the unit was fine, and plays perfectly.

It took a bit of learning to use all the controls and settings, and I had to refer to the booklet several times, but have gotten used to the layout and remote. It's pretty easy to use / control - the display is easy to read, especially with my aging eyes. I have finally found the perfect system for my bedroom. It just fits on the chest that I have kept all of my previous units on.

The radio reception is great, as is the karaoke function. But -- it would have been nice to have the center channel, which is where most recordings place the main vocals, lowered when the MIC(s) are connected. I don't think I'll have use for the Game mixing feature, but it's nice to have inthe event I would ever need it. I have not used teh CD functions yet, as all of my music is on my (several) iPods. I have an iPod classic parked permanently in the unit.

This is the most exepnsive system I have purchased of this type, but is well worth the price.


Things I love about this sytem:

Great sound and bass response
Easy to read display
Full iPod control
Will charge the iPod when the unit is off - the other systems I had will not charge the iPod when the unit is off
Easy to operate
Adjustable EQ, although only Bass, Mid and High
Phono input
Easy set up. Once I got it out of the humongous box, it took all of 5 minutes to set up and get running.



Things I don't like:

There's only one, and I consider it a BIGGIE -- for the price paid, they could have supplied some dock connectors! Even my cheap 119.00 system came with 9 iPod dock connectors. Why are they not included? It may seem nit-picky, but at close to 500.00 for the system, Sony could have thrown in an assortment of dock connectors. It is advertised as iPod ready, so should have included the connectors.


In conclusion, I am extremely pleased with this purchase - this one's a keeper.



5 out of 5 stars HEARD DOWN THE STREET!!   November 9, 2009

My brother was walking home a couple days after I got this and he said I needed to turn it down cause he heard it from down the street, but I said the volume was only at 18! This system is awesome. It's BIG, BEEFY, the bass sounds GREAT, and the tweeters are wonderful. They sound soo rich, very sharp. I rarely use it at high volume without the "X-groove" turned on, but even without the bass, it sounds amazing. Really. This has to be the best shelf system out. I paid $450, but it was worth it. It should last a while too, being a Sony.
My only complaint would be that you can't control the "X-groove" (the bass) from the remote. You always have to walk up to the main console. Other than that, no problems. IPOD dock is great too. My IPOD looks great sittin on it. Controls for that work well too. GREAT PRODUCT! You won't be disappointed.
