Sony Bluetooth Stereo Shelf System, HiFi Sound Speaker System with Remote Control, USB, FM Radio, Audio in, TV Music for Home

I needed a new stereo with Bluetooth so I could stream stuff. And I wanted one with a CD player as I have a ton of those around. And I didn't want one that took up too much room. This sucker is perfect! It fits all on one shelf, has great sound quality, and let's me do what I need to do with my music. It does hiccup once in a while by refusing to connect, but if you turn it off and wait about a minute and start over it'll go for hours without any problems. I think it can't believe I let it run as much as I do without interacting with it, so maybe it just gets lonely and needs the attention. LOL.

This works great for my home. I use it in my living room but it is a smaller room. The sound is fine. It's not spectacular but for the price it's great. I bought it to hook up to my record player. If you have a pre amp I recommend ordering a cable for audio in and the other end has aux for left and right (red and white ends) for audio. This worked great for me.

I'm using the system for FM radio, CDs (burned and regular), and MP3 playback on my USB drives, and all three modes work fine. I would have given a 5 star rating if not for the fact that the system does not allow you to continue where you left off on either CD or USB playback but forces you to start over again from the beginning or fast forward to where you want to be. It's very annoying, and if the audio system on my Honda can do it with my USB drives, why can't Sony?

I read the other reviews before purchasing it.The minuses: It does have a funny plug. I do find myself tapping my fingers waiting for it. Wouldn’t have noticed the noise of the mechanism had it not been brought up. Over $200 might be a bit much. I had to splice speaker wire to adapt to my needs. 50 watt rating seems optimistic.The plus: the sound. The sweet sound handsomely eclipses the minuses, with interest. I bought, and returned, a less expensive player which had terrible sound. This one fixed that problem. I bought this to have a CD player, but the aux input and Bluetooth capabilities really add to it. Love it.

It wouldve gotten 4 stars if the CD player worked. It doesnt fully extend nor fully retract. Loaded a cd and it doesnt read it. Huge let down. Not sure if this was a return or refurbished item. Sony is my favorite brand so I very disappointed.But the sound is amazing and I love the size.

BEWARE: This is a really nice unit. Perfect size and good sound. However the one I received is not set up for use in the USA, Region 1. DVD's and players are set up by regions. The one I received is set for Region 4. This will not play DVD's made for USA which is Region 1. I wanted to exchange the unit for one that would work in Region 1 but Amazon rep told me they could not guarantee I would get one that would work in Region 1. Just return for refund. I just checked today 1/10/2021 and the unit I received is still for sale by the same supplier PHOTOTECH. After reading other reviews I found quite a few who had the same problem. Sony also said that PHOTOTECH is not an authorized Sony seller.

Sony was a leader in the field of compact stereos 20 and 30 years ago. In fact, we bought this to replace an old Sony system in our bedroom. The sound of the new system is okay, everything else disappointing.PROS:- Good sound, good speakers, decent separationCONS:- Everything else- The CD player is very slow- Bluetooth does not work (I've used about 200 bluetooth devices, so it's not that I can't set it up)- Remote is slow- Very short speaker cables, so you won't be able to put the speakers far from the unitThere are better units for audiophiles (Denon, not available on Amazon) and cheaper units if you just want to play a CD through some speakers. If it's bluetooth speakers you're after, again lots of better options.It's too bad Sony has lost their edge.

First off, I received the item in 24 hours, wow! Love the sound quality, and the Bluetooth speakers paired with my phone right away. No wires or mess and I can place the speakers anywhere in my living room to balance the sound. Overall, Works great, very happy with purchase.
