 Great system with a fair price tag August 7, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
It's been about a month since I got a CMT-BX5BT and there are several things I would like to point out.
-It's very important to have a remote with today's music systems. When I received the box, I wanted to make sure there was a remote included but couldn't find any descriptions on the box mentioning about it. I read in someone else's review here that it was included so I decided to open it anyway, and there WAS indeed a remote included in the box! :)
-Another very important quality is sound, and this system offers a good sound quality. It is pretty loud too, compared to other similar products.
-Bluetooth was a neat feature, but I personally didn't find it too useful. If you are like me, CMT-BX1 is strongly recommened which is almost the same minus the bluetooth function. I compared it with this product at a store one day. The sides of speakers were slightly narrower, and a different material was used for the cabinet of the main unit.
-Being able to play mp3 files on a CD is a great feature. However we are not able to browse through the folders while we are still listening to a song though. Maybe that's something technically difficult for a music CD system like this to handle.
-I do have a couple of complaints though. The button layout is a little confusing, and buttons are tiny. Then again, this product is equipped with many functions after all, so that was probably necessary in a way. Also the remote sensor is not too sensitive compared to the previous Sony system I had. With this one, you actually have to aim the remote at the sensor of the main unit. XD
Indeed, there were slight disappointments here and there, but at the end of the day, this really is a great system, especially for the price we're paying. I want to give it 4.5 stars but since it's not possible...okay, I'm feeling generous: 5 stars!!!!!
Can't get better sound quality for this price July 31, 2008

This stereo is great for a desktop office or a small room. The sound is excellent for the price. I enjoy a lot of classical music so I like speakers that are clear and accurate. I don't need booming bass, even when I play Led Zeppelin. I got my computer hooked up to it via bluetooth, but I do have a minor complaint. Every time I change from my bluetooth connection to my computer to my audio in connection for my dvd player I have to reconnect when I switch back to bluetooth. It's merely the click of an icon on the computer, so maybe I shouldn't complain. There is no bluetooth button on the remote. Not a big deal, since you can use the function button to switch to bluetooth in three pushes. I was skeptical about the sound quality I would get through the bluetooth but I can't tell the difference between it and the wire connection, but my unit is right next to my computer. It would be nice if I could play it a little louder (only when I get drunk) but then the neighbors might have issues. The sound quality improved significantly when I moved the speakers further apart from my original placement.
Sorry Amazon, but I got a refurbished unit directly from sony for only $90, plus tax and shipping ($108). I have also bought an excellent Olympus camera refurbished. It was a great deal and I couldn't tell the difference between the refurbished Sony or the Olympus from a new unit at a much heftier price.
 Works fine on basic stuffs but a little bit uncomfortable control June 20, 2008

The basic functions (Bluetooth, CD/MP3 playback and tuner) work fine. Looks neat. I don't feel my money wasted on this.
Only a little bit of control issues:
1. Cannot change playback mode while playing: you have to stop playing CD to change between shuffle/repeat 1/repeat all modes. Most of time once I select shuffle, I use it for a long time so it's okay. But sometimes you want to listen to the music in order, or you want to skip to the right song quickly. In shuffle mode, you have to cross your fingers and try until it hits the right spot. All the other players I had can change the playback mode instantly. I don't know why this one cannot do that.
2. Reading CD slow: you should wait a bit of time (5~10 sec?) Not too bad but definitely slower than other CD players. My small portable palm-sized panasonic starts faster. It also takes longer time to change tracks on CD, compared to other players.
3. Cannot select Bluetooth as the "wake-up": I use this to wake myself up in the morning with the kind of music I like. You can select either CD or tuner for this, but cannot use the Bluetooth channel. There might be connection issues preventing this though...

I am extremely pleased with the Sony stereo. I am ecstatic about the bluetooth feature as I store all of my music on my computer and it works great. Very clear. I also benefit from the Graphic Equalizer built into Media Player.
