2-way bass reflex system with DSGX bass boost function
Digital AM/FM stereo tuner
Rating: - Mini its not
Let me start off by saying, all in all I'm happy with the stereo system for the money. It's a little larger than I'd like as I gave it to my wife as a gift for her to put in her office which has limited space. Also the FM reception is poor at least inside the office where my wife works. I'm planning on picking up an external FM antenna in the hopes that it improves reception. Sound quality is good and the remote is a nice feature but the controls are a bit confusing to switch between different functions. Maybe because we're over fifty, I have trouble with my cell phone at times. I would recommend this unit for anyone wanting to purchase a reasonably priced compact (I wouldn't call this a mini system) stereo system for a garage, workspace or child's room.

This stereo system is awesome! I bought it for my 12 year old son, sort of a "coming of age" Christmas present. Well, he does not even have the volume past three and I have to tell him to turn it down!!!
It is clear as a bell with Cd's too. Very Powerful for any age music lover! The price is a steal for this very impressive system. I would highly recommend it anyone.

I purchased this system for my daughter for Christmas and she absolutely loves it. She really rocks out with it; its just the right size and the price was right.

What an impressive system for the money! I was looking for a reasonably priced CD player for the family room/kitchen area of my home and, after a lot of searching, zero'd in on this one. Was I ever impressed when the unit arrived (quickly, I might add). I put the EQ on 'flat' and selected my favorite 'test' recording which I have used to try out new music systems I have obtained since 1958. The RCA Victor album, arranged and recorded to show off the label's 'Living Stereo' series, is "Gisele" by Gisele MacKenzie. The album's wondrous arrangemtns by the great Axel Stordahl and Gisele's fantastic performances came through clearly, and proved that this Sony unit passed my test with flying colors. Gisele's impressive contralto voice never sounded warmer and richer and more life-like, and Stordahl's strings never sounded better, with other instruments coming fast and furious from the left and right channels. Of course, I'm using the stereo CD version of Gisele's album these days to test equipment...in early days I used the stereo LP edition. The unit is easy to use, and I didn't refer to the manual once during the unpacking and installation process. The radio has great reception...and the MP3 input works like a charm...and is on the front of the unit for ease of use and for ease in changing MP3 players. The audio output is fantastic and fills the rooms nicely with great sound! I love this unit, and can't believe the quality for the price...discovering that shipping charges were included puts the value over the top! I have a very expensive system I use in conjunction with DVD/TV viewing, but I just might prefer the rich tones coming from this unit for everyday music listening. I also like the fact that the bass is not overpowering, and doesn't have that flat 'thump' 'thump' 'thump' sound I find so annoying! The remote works fantastically well! Thanks Sony and Amazon for providing a unit I can be proud of and enjoy! In closing, I wish units had separate bass and treble controls these days, instead of a few pre-set EQ selections...but the EQ settings on this unit are very workable.
