Richard, Marple, “I appreciate quality goods ”
+ Feature packed and reasonable looking unit. DAB radio is included, but features are limited.
- Still has cassette deck ! Rubbish speakers and low power - a portable CD player has more ooomph, and I dare say would out perform this in many repsects.

+ Has everything, tape deck (which is now rare) CD and audio in connections. Looks good, fits well anywhere (in our kitchen). Many comments on its good looks. DAB included for the price.
- When you switch it off it goes to standby mode - seems to be the norm with new products - ever heard of global warming! The aerial is the standard flecky stuff. The bass is almost non-existent.

+ It is everything I wanted in a DAB radio, but then it also has a CD player and a cassette player for all my old tapes as well.
- None - I love it!

Dave, Newport, South Wales
+ I was looking for a unit that had DAB Radio, And MP3 from a cd. This ticked those boxes with so much more! Tape deck, remote, alarm clock. I use this throughout the night every night with no problems at all.
- None really.

+ The sound is excellent - a good overall sound including rich bass sounds. And it's a really brilliant idea to have a 3.5mm audio-in socket to play direct from MP3 player - just fantastic - how refreshingly simple!
- Slightly clunky casssette door, but really not important - it works fine

Yvonne, Lincolnshire, “Heavy rock granny!”
+ I have been able to find any programme on the radio easily, I find it easy to use the cd and the tape recorder. This machine fulfills all my requirements. I thoroughly enjoy listening to the radio, this is my main interest, although I do love listening to my music on it!
- The only thing is I haven't tried recording tape to tape or radio to tape yet. i am not sure if it does these two functions, I have to check this out.

Steve, Huddersfield, “Classical and rock musicians”
+ Does everything it promises, and looks and sounds well. As musicians, my wife and myself both like the responsive remote, which we use to repeat sections of CDs whilst playing along to them.
- Loses clock settings if you turn it off totally.

+ The price was great, it plays CD's and receives radio braodcasts.
- The device for changing saved radio station is not the easiest, too many buttons in one place and easy to confuse. The screen is not bright enough. The speakers were not used as the ones we had before were much nicer.

Vicki, Crewe
+ Really easy to operate - foolproof. Sound quality is pretty good and the DAB is a great feature in the most part, saves having to buy seperately. Also like the cassete player. Not many modern systems ofer this, can dig out the golden oldies! Plus its a Sony, need i say more
- DAB is a bit difficult to tune in despite it supposedly being able to auto search.

+ Good little value for money unit. Does everything I want from it.
- If I was to be picky then the case is a little plastic and fragile feeling. Not sure if would withstand hard use especially the cassette door.
17 Jan 2008
Stuart, Derby
+ Mine is in my garage, It has a tape deck for playing all the old 80's hair rock tapes, DAB tuner works suprisingly well concidering lack of proper aerial, Remote control is useful.
- Pressing the buttons on the tape deck is like a game of chase, as the unit tends to move away from you rather then the button depressing
17 Jan 2008
Kristian, Kettering
+ Automatic tuning's a good feature. Sound quality is very good for the price.
- We are in a particulally weak area for DAB so every now and again the signal is lost. But we are persisting as when it's does work it's exceptional.

+ Great little hi-fi. Easy to set up. Surprised by the features included for the money, such as DAB, tape deck, etc. The DAB aerial is integrated with the FM aerial (flexible wire), this is great as it means the unit is very tidy. Impressed with the black front design.
- Sound is good, but not great, but then I did not expect this for the low price.

+ Excellent value for money. Easy to set up. Slightly smaller and lighter than comparable micro systems and therefore more suitable for positioning on a shelf.
- Cartridge tape controls are old-fashioned (but so are cartridge tapes).
