Ease of setting up+instructions

The product was fairly easy to set up, although it took me a while to figure out where each cable goes. The instruction manual is very helpful, lots of information.

Sound Quality

Once I managed to get it up and running, I turned it on and turned that very tempting looking volume dial. Wow. There is so much bass it could make your ears fall off. And as if there wasn't enough, there is a dynamic bass boost button which gives even more. The sound is also very clear, I can hear parts of songs I couldn't hear before on this.

Radio

The AM radio is quite good, is no noise and the quality is pretty good. The same cannot be said for the FM radio. At least it couldn't before I did some tinkering. When I first tried it out it was very noisy. I tried moving the aerial around but there was still that ever annoying his behind the music. Then I switched the FM mode to mono and all the hissing and crackling magically went away. Now I can listen without being annoyed by that noise.

Looks and Durability

This hifi looks absolutely stunning! The center unit is very good quality and has a nice red ring around the very big volume dial. The speakers look excellent. I especially like the blue bits on the speakers. As always with a sony, the quality of the product is excellent. I have had it for quite a while and nothing has fallen off or become loose. Also, the CD drawer has a nice opining action!

Features

This hifi includes: a CD player, an AM/FM radio, an iPod dock, an audio in port and a headphone jack.

Value for money

I got an excellent deal for this hifi, only £80 ($123). I think that offer is over now, but you can still get form £100 ($153) to £180 ($276) That is still pretty good for the features and the sound quality.

Conclusion

This is an excellent mini system from sony, I would definitely recommend this to anybody.
