Having has our old unit for 15 years hope this one does same time. Seems good quality – neat and small as well.
A birthday present for daughter.
I mainly bought it to play my cd’s on. The details on screen suggest it has a dab radio, it doesn’t, the radio is just fm.
I had this bought as a christmas present as an all singing, all dancing bluetooth system. I specifically wanted to be able to listen via headphones so as not to disturb people when they are asleep. There is no headphone socket and the bluetooth is only a receiver and not a signal transmitter, so you can’t even use bluetooth headphones. This is not clear anywhere in the advertising or even the manual. This took searching the net and phoning sony. Major failing on sony’s behalf despite them insisting you can attach them via a line in socket. No sony, you need a line out socket for headphones. They eventually conceded headphones cannot be used with this product. Though if you are inclined you could create a switchable junction box involving the speakers, which are the only output source, but that’s a phaff, right?despite all this, i have, so far, found the sound quality very good for such a small system. For me, the dab is clear, the mega bass works well, though despite the manual saying it should be on as a default on first switch on, it wasn’t.
Great stereo for the price, with one or two little niggles stopping me handing out a fifth star. It’s easy to set up, but suffers from a lack of presets (only numbered 1-4 on the handset meaning an annoying fumble for the other saved stations) for the dab. It’s a looker – brushed chrome and gloss black glass, nice lcd. Bluetooth is a great addition and picks up my iphone every time without any hassle (it doesn’t require being re-connected after initial set up. ) the weirdest thing is it forgets which radio preset it was on when put on standby and always reverts to the first saved station (at least, i can’t find anything in the instructions that changes this. )sound quality is good, certainly not great; the unit lacks bass even with the settings ramped up, and it won’t rattle the windows but for a smaller room it’s fine (i’m using it in a kitchen). Final annoyance is the cd mechanism engages whenever it comes out of standby so you get that distinctive ‘crunch’ as it gears up, even if you want to just use bluetooth or radio. Other than those things, the price is good for what you get and i’d mostly recommend this.
Good sound quality for a small system.

Good sound, but have not used it much yet.
Speakers so flimsy so connected my panasonics from my previous audio/cd unit. Station presets still trying to fathom them out so again panasonic was so easy compared to this remote control. Slightly worried that the 3 amp fuse blew – very unusual. Beware speaker leads have a weird connectors that fit into the audio unit so if you want to connect other speakers you have to cut the leads and solder them back.
