Outstanding, 2008-12-30
The Sony CMT-CPZ1DAB is an outstanding product. It can be set up in about five minutes and it is very easy to use.
The bass which can be adjusted to suit you.
The only fault with this radio is that the casette deck makes quite a racket when you press the buttons to play, rewind etc. This is not a problem for me because i barely use the casette deck but it may be a problem for people who use this a lot.
The CD player is of very high quality. The system has a slot loading CD player. This is a brilliant radio which is of very high quality.
Well Done Sony for this great radio and well done Amazon for delivering it well before the estimated delivery date.
I strongly recommend this product for anyone who wants a radio with high quality sound output.
The ideal bedroom system, 2008-09-10
This product scores well on several fronts. If you're looking for a decent sounding music system that's easy to use and fits well in a bedroom or small living-room, the CMT-CPZ1DAB will see you right.
The sound quality is top-notch, with good amplification and two powerful speakers. The bass & treble settings are handy (for a 'fuller' sound set both of these to the maximum, ie. +4). The central unit stands at a neat 240 x 260 x 175 and each speaker is only slightly larger. Your average bedside locker will accommodate the main unit plus ONE of the speakers. And it looks well. For optimum enjoyment set the other speaker on the far side of the bed. I had to purchase an extra metre of speaker-cable because my double-bed is 150 wide and the cables supplied fall somewhat short of that. Take my word for it, it's WELL worth the extra few pennies and the 10 minutes of DIY! If your bed-width is 120 or narrower, extra cable won't be necessary. The "Sleep" feature is useful and can be set at intervals of 10 minutes up to a maximum of 90 minutes. There's also "Sleep Auto", which is handy when dozing off to a CD or tape. One minor flaw is that it only allows you to preset 20 DAB stations. This is mildly irritating because I spend a good deal of time in Dublin, which has 21 DAB stations! Anyway, about half of them also transmit on FM so I just picked my least favourite and stored it on one of the FM presets instead (which kinda defeats the purpose of DAB slightly).
Anyway it's a good set and I've just bought a second one, which is already installed in my spare bedroom! Sony have a similar looking set with a similar model number but it doesn't have DAB! Make sure you order the version that has the letters 'DAB' in the model number.
Top quality item but for....., 2008-09-23
Ordered Saturday and received Tuesday, for free! Brilliant service and top quality item but for one thing....the length of the speaker cables which are barely long enough to get separation. Why spoil a product for a few pence 'cos at this price anyone would pay more for a few metres of cable.It's not as if such a comment as this is new with Sony products as it can be seen in many reviews of the CMT range. Its about time someone invented a compact DAB aerial as well, instead of having to secure a wire to the wall/furniture/curtain...anything really. The 75 watts of speaker power doesn't sound anything like the volume of my old Technics system but the clarity is amazing. I expected a range of different sounds from the DSGX feature (theatre, festival, bathroom...) and was pleasantly surprised to find it was just a way of switching to a preselected bass and treble setting for a bit more oomph. The instructions have a number coded explanation of the remote's function but fail to list what they are so you have to plough through the instructions to find relevant comments. Otherwise a brilliant product for the price.
