You must be thinking why someone is using strong negative words against
SONY. All of us know that SONY is a SUPER PREMIUM BRAND... where the
prices are higher than other brands. It doesnt matter if you are
getting a very good quality.
I was a big time fan of SONY & when it comes to music I never
thought of any other system. Last year I bought SONY MUSIC
SYSTEM: 2200 WATT PMPOMHC-GNZ7D. It is a 3 disc changer. My experience
was very good as the sound is incomparable. After 5-6 months months the
DVD chager started malfuncitoning. After 3-4months the twin cassette
system completely went off. I called service centre. After 2-3 days of
examination I was told that it will cost 3, 500/- . The entire tape
system had to be replaced. By that time the 1 yr warranty was over. I
got it repaired. During the servicing I was told that CD system is also
weak and it can go off any day. I was shocked because the first yr
usage was normal.
NO stress usage. 1 month after repair the DVD system
stopped functioning. Now again I have to put 3K-4K to get it repaired.
I love good music and the system was very good in terms of sound
quality. I would rate it at no. 1. But looking at the life of the parts
I would not recommend anyone to go for this because when I went to the
service centre I was surprised to see the daily list of repairs. That
centre was one of the 4 serivce centres of the city. Daily there were
around 150 goods that came for repair.
Before you put your money into it I would recommend to check the following yourself:
- Go to any service centre and see what is the avg life of products.
Because what I know that the spare parts are very costly and have very
less life.
Some DVD, CD you can not play in SONY systems. whereas other system like (Philips) can play it easily.
Get the feedback from someone who is using it from a long time.
Why am I saying all this so strongly because this is second time
I am befooled by brand SONY. Last time at my home when my dad was
buying a music system that time also I convinced him to buy SONY
but after 2 yrs the cassette player went off. That too when I
maintained it regularly.
I bought the current system for 18K and in one yr I am spending 6K on repair and sevice. So Pls think before buying....
