RCA RS2600 5-CD Executive Microsystem

RCA RS2600 5-CD Executive Microsystem Review

I bought this unit as a replacment to another five-disc changer that was absoulte junk. What I found to be the most useful was simply the player's ability to read virtually any CD format: from regular manufactured CDs to MP3 burns. I've found that CD players that have difficulty reading the data stamped on the disc seem to be "cheap" somehow. The speakers of the unit are another great attribute. They fill the room nicely and provide the listener with a good range of sound. The bass boost is excellent and the surround speakers are also a lot of fun. Finally, the dual tape deck came in handy even though tapes are obsolete nowadays. Its fun to record songs off the radio and the cassete/recording playback certainly meets my standards. To sum it up, this is an ideal system for the casual music fan who just wants to hear good, quality sound.

RCA RS2600 5-CD Executive Microsystem Overview

This 10-watts-per-channel stereo will enliven an office, bedroom, or living room. Listen to favorite radio stations, a cassette tape, or a CD (including audio CD-R or CD-RW). With its five-disc CD changer, you can listen to an endless variety of music without interruption and create a different listening experience by randomly playing tracks from one or multiple CDs.

The system's digital FM-AM stereo is outfitted with 32 station presets. The unit automatically scans the FM band and sets presets to the best tunable stations. The dual-well cassette offers continuous play (deck A to deck B), one-touch recording, automatic tape shutoff, and automatic level control for making distortion-free copies from CD and radio. Assigned equalization curves let you adjust the sound to personal preference (choose from classic, jazz, rock, pop, and manual settings), and bass boost heightens the impact of low frequencies. You'll also enjoy the convenience of a 24-button remote control, which makes it easy to adjust sound settings from across the room.

Other features include CD repeat play and intro scan. Clock, sleep, and alarm functions add to the system's uses. You can wake to a favorite CD, radio station, or cassette tape, and set the sleep alarm for up to 90 minutes.

Sony MHC-GX450 3-Disc CD Shelf System with Game Sync

Sony MHC-GX450 3-Disc CD Shelf System with Game Sync Review

I just saw the price from the seller. $ 700.00!!!!!!!!! 5 months ago I paid 9.00 My next system has to have a 5 cd player!

Sony MHC-GX450 3-Disc CD Shelf System with Game Sync Feature

• 3-CD changer with MP3 playback, 2-deck full-logic cassette, FM/AM radio with 30 station presets
• 125 watts per channel, stereo speakers, and a standalone 150-watt, 8-inch subwoofer
• Game Sync mixing blends audio from the front-panel input with music of your choice; includes Remote Commander remote control
• Extensive audio processing, from Groove bass enhancement to a multitude of equalizer presets and simulated surround sound
• Measures 30 x 13 x 16.7 inches (W x H x D), without subwoofer

Sony MHC-GX450 3-Disc CD Shelf System with Game Sync Overview

Get the Hi-Fi features you want, but in a small package. The MHC-GX450 includes a 3 Disc CD Changer, CD-R/CD-RW and MP3 playback capability, 3-way main speakers with hybrid dual 5" woofers, Game Sync Mixing, dual cassette decks, and 30 station presets. Game Sync Mixing lets you control the volume of your music and game sounds, so you can get just the right mix. The CD-R/CD-RW and MP3 playback capability makes it possible to play your burned CDs and personal compilations, while the dual cassette decks add even more flexibility. And, the MHC-GX450 may be a Mini Hi-Fi system, but it still has 400 Watts of total power, with a 150 Watt Subwoofer.

Sony MHC-GX450 3-Disc CD Shelf System with Game Sync Specifications

Crafted for style and built for power, Sony's 4-piece MHC-GX450 stereo is the ultimate party animal. The system packs a rafter-rattling 125 watts per channel across a pair of 3-way, dual-woofer speakers and a standalone powered subwoofer with an 8-inch woofer, so you'll never miss a kick-drum hit or a low bass note. You get a 3-CD changer with play exchange (so you can swap two discs while a third is playing) and compatibility with not only homemade CD-R and CD-RW discs, but discs loaded with MP3 music files, too. The dual-well cassette deck offers full-logic performance and the FM/AM radio boasts 30 station presets (20 FM, 10 AM) for ultimate tuning convenience.

A cool feature called Game Sync mixes the sound from the system's front-panel audio/video inputs with the sound of your favorite music--whether from CD, MP3 CD, cassette, or radio--so you're not forced to choose between game sound and music listening. You can have either one--or both. Maintain a composite-video connection between the stereo and your television, and you'll have instant video access right from the unit's front panel.

You'll find no cheap up/down volume buttons here--the MHC-GX450 sports an easy-to-grab, illuminated center volume knob that goes all the way up. Other great features include shuffle, program, and repeat CD playback, CD synchro recording, a bright, easy-to-read, color fluorescent display, and a Remote Commander remote control to keep you in full couch-potato mode.

Extensive audio processing enhancements include Sony's Groove bass enhancement circuit, as well as 8 preset equalizer curves with 3-band parameter adjustments to heighten the power of your music or tailor the sound for a specific location. Further, Direct AV EQ adds 16 preset equalizer settings that cater to music (Pop, Rock, Soul, Oriental, Dance, Jazz, etc), movies (Drama, Action, and Musical), and games (Arcade, Adventure, and Racing).

Direct A/V EQ also lets you store customized settings in three personal files. And, if that's not enough, the system even simulates surround sound for spacious music or movie effects. Finally, VACS (Variable Attenuation Control System) is designed to ensure superb clarity, even at high volume levels, preventing amplifier "clipping" and its consequent distortion.

What's in the Box
Main unit, two front speakers, a subwoofer, a Remote Commander remote control (model RM-SC3), remote batteries, an FM wire antenna, an AM loop antenna, and a user's manual.

Sony LBTZUX9 Mini Hi-Fi Shelf System 1000W RMS Total Power (Silver)

Sony LBTZUX9 Mini Hi-Fi Shelf System 1000W RMS Total Power (Silver) Review

I took time to go to several stores to try different systems. With each system no matter how innovative or divers the system with the latest capabilities, the only thing that made any difference that was noticeable in the store was the number of watts to the speaker. I tried positions and that was pretty much negligible. So now my mission was to find a mini-stereo that would be a shelf system to replace my poor old 25 year old system that finally bit the dust.

I actually tried the Sony LBTZX9 Mini Hi-Fi Shelf System and found it pretty good. Then I spotted on line the Sony LBTZUX9 Mini Hi-Fi Shelf System. 1000 watts meant 250 watts per-speaker. I do not want rock sounds that will breing every fire engine for the surrounding neighborhood. I did not want a system that you have to ware sunscreen to listen to Prokofiev on a cool evening while reading. So I took a chance and ordered this monster. I was aware that it came in a shipping box that would require a team to deliver; how ever I thought it was just well packed. Expecting a mini-stereo, a shelf system I did not expect just one speaker to be larger than the whole of my older stereo system. Naturally I realize that this animal was never going to fit on a shelf (book shelf) as it has twice the depth and would tip out. The tape-to-tape system opens up on the top instead of the front which again makes it impossible to place on a book self. I am also starting to question the term "Mini".

I was able to retrieve Cargo cases from another room to replace the book shelves. It took five of these animals (one for the stereo and one each for the huge speakers.) there are two remotes because there is not enough room on one remote to hold all the buttons. The speakers were simple to setup. Everything works fine out of the box. However this system may be tad overkill. But the purpose is not for great volumes as great ranges to hear the subtle sounds that you can only get in a concert hall. Many of the time I have to pick the "flat" option to keep the boom box effect to overwhelm the music.

Well with its new home and a little adjustment this is the system to take me into the next couple of decades before the technology will make it obsolete.

Sony LBTZUX9 Mini Hi-Fi Shelf System 1000W RMS Total Power (Silver) Feature

• 3-disc CD Changer with Play Exchange
• USB Recording & Playback
• Fluorescent(FL) Display
• D-Light Sync
• X-TRANCE PRO

Sony LBTZUX9 Mini Hi-Fi Shelf System 1000W RMS Total Power (Silver) Overview

A party just isn't the same without good music. The LBT-ZUX9 mini Hi-Fi component system has what it takes to get the party started. For optimum versatility, you can connect accessories like iPod or Walkman music players, there's a three-disc CD changer that plays MP3s from burned CDs, a dual cassette for your classic mix tapes and an FM tuner with 30 presets to enjoy your favorite radio DJs. With 1,000 total watts of power and D-Light Sync capability for fun lighting effects, you'll have all you need to keep your guests entertained for hours.

Sony CMTHPR99XM Micro Shelf System

Sony CMTHPR99XM Micro Shelf System Review

This is my third Sony ATRAC 3plus CD player.

First, I bought the Sony ZS-XN30 Sports Boom Box (see my review on this product), which introduced me to the ATRAC 3plus CD burning program by Sonic Stage which had me starting to make 6 hour, 12 hour, 24 hour, and even 32 hour CDR's for playback only on that Sony ATRAC CD player.

I then, bought their best really cool Walkman pocket CD player (D-NE10) which I play when I go bike riding, or long walks, or just play in the car through a cassette adapter to hear it through my car stereo speakers.

I'm still anxiously waiting for Sony to make an ATRAC CD Player home component to hook up to my home stereo. But so far, the closest we got to this is this new Sony CD independent stereo called the CMTHPR99XM Micro Shelf System. It is it's own amplifier, tuner, and CD player, that plays my many (already made) ATRAC CDR's. And it puts out 85 Watts per channel, which sounds pretty good. And, for the first time with ATRAC, we get a bass and treble option to modify the sound.

But, the information that every seller is putting out about this unit is false information and it begins with coming from the source. The Sony Corporation itself.

First of all, this unit DOES NOT have a cassette player. Which is good! I don't want a cassette player. To me, that's just as "ancient history" as the 8-track tape and vinyl LP's. (DAT and MD doesn't seem to be surviving well either although I do like the MiniDisc technology).

It's also been said that this CMTHPR99XM stereo has a vertical load CD player. No, it DOES NOT. It has a horizontal loading drawer for five CD's. Plus, it is said that this player has pre-programmed sound modification outputs (rock, jazz, classical, etc). No it DOES NOT. The EQ on this unit gives you a simple bass and treble option, which you adjust with the remote control. I prefer it this way anyway. This player DOES have DSGX, which is a BASS enhancer, which DOES improve the bass a tad. (The bass enhancer on the ZS-XN30 is kinda like a joke, I really hear no difference).

Everything about this unit is wonderful except for the lack of one very important option that is very disappointing to me. So much so, that I think I should take this stereo back because it doesn't do what I need it to do. It doesn't have the "memory retention" option that I've really come to depend on.

My other two Sony ATRAC CD players have the option where, when I play my ATRAC CDR's, I could stop the player, turn it off, and start playing it again later, and it will continue to play where I left off when I turned it off. I like where I can stop the player, and play it whenever, and no songs will repeat in "shuffle play" until every song has played once, and then the CD player will stop so you will know that every song has played. With my Sony ZS-XN30 Sports Boom Box, I can practically just play one ATRAC CDR all week long at work, with no songs ever repeating. With this CMTHPR99XM, you turn it off, and all memory is lost. Start it up again, and it has to start all over again, reading the CD again and then play like it's the first time again. This is SO DISAPPOINTING! So I guess I can't use this stereo at work because the most important feature about an ATRAC CD player isn't here. I'm very frustrated about this unit. I don't benefit from it at work, and I don't need it at home (I've already got a stereo at home).

However, if you just want a great small powerful independent CD playing stereo, this CMTHPR99XM is wonderful. But, for those of us who are really into the ATRAC CD technology (like me), you will be sorely disappointed if you like your player to have playback memory retention.
