It is an absolute indignity to label this product in the category of MP3 player ( Mouthshut.com! Hope you’re listening) . I may strongly draw everybody’s attention who are reading this review or visiting the ’site’ to reconsider the category of this versatile audio-video machine. To simply tell you all how I bumped into this system will be story in itself. I was looking for a complete home entertainment system which could deliver the punch like no other. Not a single brand could even come close to Sony. Panasonic, Philips, LG, Sansui, Samsung were pathetic performers. It took me 2 & half years of waiting to find this one. If cost is not the criteria this one is a real pick. You can run any pirated, scratched old MP3 CDs, VCDs, DVDs or whatever
