 Great size, amazing sound - generally a great buy! October 5, 2008

I'd be dallying for a while about buying this or the Intempo DAB iPod dock and I am so glad I bought this one. It has great sound for such a relatively small system (I am sure the neighbours agree). I have literally just plugged in my iPod and it plays. The remote is great too - I can control the wheel with it which is great for being lazy! The DAB functionality is great too - I have already saved my favourite channels in the system.
Very easy to use, looks great, sounds amazing - no regrets (only that I didn't buy it sooner!).
Cracking little unit August 28, 2008

I bought this system to replace a similar one by an inferior make (iSymphony) and it's exactly what I wanted. It has great sound, although I'm not using the speakers that came with it, it's connected through my AV system. Unlike the previous system I had there is no audible buzzing noise when the power is turned on which is why I needed a new unit. The CD turntable is silent which is another bonus.
As for the DAB aerial issue (see other reviews) I found the supplied length of wire gave me perfect reception for 5Live, Planet Rock etc by just running it straight up the wall in some trunking.
If you have an iPod and are looking for a unit to dock it into in order to play tracks and charge the player at the same time you will be more than happy with this system - and it's a good price too! I found the remote is easy to use as the controls for using the iPod are exactly the same as on the player, it's just a wheel system with a button in the middle.
Simple, stylish and not expensive. Got to be a winner!
 Quality unit but needs External aerial for DAB August 24, 2008

Hi
Firstly i bought this unit because i wanted a docking station for my Ipod that would give quality sound and would play data MP3 CDS. This it does very well and the sound quality is much better than the ghetto blaster it repaces. The thing that clinched the deal was the DAB radio but alas the aerial provided for this is basically a socket and a 1 metre length of wire that you are supposed to trail horizontally from the back of the unit. I am afraid Sony you are having a laugh! this is pathetic, why when you can buy a portable radio that can give decent reception of DAB with an attached antenna can you not produce something better than this. I would expect this kind of accessory from BUSH or CROWN but not from a sony product. My advice is if you are prepared to buy this unit and fit an external antenna then it ticks all the boxes but otherwise go for a much cheaper FM version that can produce all the same formats at a reduced cost. To summarise i am pleased with the unit for what it produces well but in eastbourne in sussex i cannot get one DAB station with this rediculous piece of wire.
 Good Looking System August 22, 2008

This is a good micro hi-fi system for some-one who is looking for a decent looking system with good features. I particular wanted a small hi-fi as I didn't have a lot of space, but wanted the features- most radio bands, CD, ipod dock, and small good speakers.
AM frequency was important to get all the different football commentaries as Radio Scotland can have different games on DAB, FM and AM! I actually found AM quite hard to get on any system- but this had it and that swung me as well as how well it would fit in with the other electrical equipment I have.
The reception quality was good in FM, AM and DAB using only provided aerials and I see no need to connect it too my outside aerial.
Sound quality is good though, I would like a deeper sound with more bass and the system doesn't let you fiddle with the sound output types much at all.
One quibble I have is the remote is a bit button crazy and is counter intuitive for some functions at first compared to other remotes, but it works fine when you get to know it!
Good looks, good sound, and great features. Sony does well again.
