I will not tell you about the features available on this system, but would
suggest you to go to the following sony site to compare this product with other
sony Hi-fi
(https://sony.co.in/productcategory/ha%2Bhifi%2Bmini?site=hp_en_IN_i). I
found this Hi-Fi the best amongst its sisters! It has wonderful sound output. It
is a 5.1 channel with a very solid bass in Groove on and V-Groove mode. You have
a pre-set equalizer and even manual digital equalizer. Three band equalizer have
always been the best. Note: This is a very well-integrated Hi-Fi. People say it
is not a 5.1 channel because they don’t see any ugly separate subwoofer. The
fact is, it has two 13 cm woofers, and two 13cm sub-woofers. one in each of the
front speakers. You have the option of a separate subwoofer port anyway.
The
advantage of this integration is, the music is very very solid, a combined one
and not split like the ones with a separate woofer. If the woofer is separated,
the vocal is split and good only for seeing movies, but not as good for
listening to music. If you want more clarity for vocals, just use the equalizer
and turn off the V-Groove that nullifies the bass effect. It is a very
well-defined system. The woofers are marvellous, and even at 20% of volume gives
a solid bang, provided you know how to operate it. This can play a wide-variety
of CDs, including Div-X & data cds. The 3-cd stranger has markings for cd-1,
cd-2, cd-3 to eliminate confusion while loading the disc. And it is 5200W
PMPO.PMPO defines the maximum (the peak) amplitude it can achieve.
RMS defines
the average of all the amplitudes that it can achieve. PMPOs do not mis-lead
users, but you should look for how much rms a system gives. For this system, rms
of 470 w is very sufficient. Overall, a very wonderful and the best Hi-Fi I ever
possessed. You do not need to re-think or compromise it against any other brands
or sony’s own models (except the very Hi-End Home Theatre Systems, Note: I mean
Home Theatre and not Home Audio!) I played back the output of my 7.1 MP Kodak
camera on this DVD system (of course, the image I recorded in a cd-writer on my
computer) and I displayed it on my Sony Wega 2.0, the AZ (the Sony’s only
sharpest 21" TV). The output was amazing.
You could make out every hair on a
person’s skin on the TV, much much better than a computer’s ; well, the credit
should go to the tv and also to my camera to depict and capture every detail so
minutely!) You will never get so much clarity in DVD or TV anywhere. It was so
sharp and vivid! Please visit the site I listed here. You will get all the
information you need. For other brands, I do not know, but it is a sony and more
reliable. Disadvantage: Does not ’Fast’ Forward your cds! Advantage that I
really adore: Resuming playback of CDs from the point it stopped after power-cut
(even Panasonic has this feature, I suppose).
