Pretty Great
I recently bought this stereo for my living room. I'm very very satisfied. It was pretty easy to set up. The sound is also very wonderful. The bass and treble features are great too. 5 disc changer is a plus. I recommend this product to anyone who's looking for a good stereo.
Flawless budget mini-stereo
I bought this model in order to be rid of my almost-new Sony MHCEC70 with its faulty ergonomics and detestable tuner.Having once owned an earlier PM-series model, this new Panasonic was the obvious choice and it does not disappoint.Like its predecessor, the PM53 is a nice, powerful compact stereo with (for the money) ridiculously nice audio quality and a good tuner, especially on the FM band.It can easily be turned up load enough to cause hearing damage and annoy neighbors in adjacent houses.The remote covers every function and is easy enough to figure out without consulting the manual.
Excellent system for the price
It was very easy to put together and takes up minimum space.However, the sound is not minimal and is great for my needs.I particularly like the equalizer for both my pop and classical music.The radio, with the antenna, has great sound with little static.The cd player is great for my needs; easy to play just one cd or the entire deck.

The SRF-M97 radio Walkman offers a fun way to take the radio with you wherever you go. The unit's AM/FM digital tuning means that you can find stations quickly and accurately.

You'll also enjoy richer, deeper lows with Sony's mega-bass technology. Stereo headphones are included.Read more

Another Great Sony Product
I've been a Sony customer since 1962 when I purchased their 101 reel-to-reel Tapecorder and it still works as well as it did the first day. Needless to say, this Sony SRF-M97 Radio Walkman is a gem, but programming the initial stations is cumbersome. However, after much trial & error it all comes together. It's worth every cent!
Static, Static, Static
This did not live up to its price or my expectations.I walk to work and there was static on both AM and FM -

Love the size
This is the first portable radio I have ever used. I love the size - small enough to not be in my way when I work out. Reception is not perfect but since I've never had another one, I don't have anything to compare to. But overall, I can get most of the stations I want to listen to with bearable statics some of the time (depending which direction I'm facing). I got a $30 discount for getting an Amazon credit card. Otherwise I wouldn't have bought it for $60. ... Read more

Not every space can accommodate a traditionally sized stereo system, which is where the Sony CMT-NEZ30 comes into play. The diminutive unit fits easily in a work cubicle, bookcase, tool cabinet, or rec room, yet still boasts plenty of power for small rooms (30 watts total), a pair of full-range speakers, and a trio of reliable components. The top-loading CD player serves as the centerpiece, with such features as CD, CD-R, CD-RW, and MP3-CD compatibility and a host of playback modes, including program, shuffle, and repeat. The four-track, two-channel cassette deck, meanwhile, not only records from CDs or the radio, but also starts recording at the moment the CD starts playing, ensuring seamless playback later on. Add in a digital AM/FM tuner with 30 station presets (10 AM and 20 FM) and you have a system that aims to please.Read more

Needs tweeking for the 5th star.
Out of the carton -- everything worked as advertized, and the sound is pleasant. The speakers are the weak link. The day after I set it up to test it, I replaced the speakers with an inexpensive pair of Radioshack speakers I bought years ago: model 7s, I believe -- 4" woofer, 1/2" tweeter in a small, solid sealed enclosure of walnut veneer. These speakers are half the size of the supplied SONYs, and at least twice the weight.
It's ok..
Not a bad little unit...wish it remembered where you were on the CD when you turn it off like other units I'm used to especially since it doesn't really "shut off" but goes into "stand-by" mode...Not as much power as I thought it would have for 30 watts... Would be nice if the aux (ipod/mp3) jack was on the front not the back...speaker 2 output would be nice...simple little unit, works fine so far...

excellent mount, terrible masonry bolts
the mount is excellent.easy to adjust on the wall, minimum space required, ample hardware for different tvs, low price.BUT if installing onto masonry (i.e., grout between bricks on fireplace), do NOT use the supplied bolts and expanding toggles.they do not work (i now have 4 extra holes in my wall).i used tap-con screws, which have an odd but effective design to hold in masonry.they can be screwed into and out of the masonry multiple times and retain grip (not tear out grout).

Haven't Installed Yet.....But Transaction Was Flawless
I haven't installed this as of yet, but the transaction and delivery was perfect.Shipment arrived earlier then posted all instructions and hardware were included correctly and product was in perfect shape.I couldn't be happier, I will be purchasing a 27" LCD mount as well.I let everyone know how they install, which looks quite simple.

Wall Mount
This wall mount is excellent.Don't be confused by the description however. The "horizontal" adjustment is linear, in other words it moves lateraly from side to side rather than rotates.But, this is a good feature if you have to locate studs to get a proper mount.You can adjust the mount to hit the studs by the many mounting holes and then move the screen to adjust to the center.Also, the package of bolts for connecting the flat screen should be tested in the flat screen mounting holes to make sure that you have the right bolts. ...

Great System for the Price
I had just purchased the Samsung HL-S4666W 46" DLP HDTV and I felt I needed a surround sound system to go with it.However, I didn' have thousands to spend, and I needed to get a progressive scan DVD player too.This system answered all my problems at once.
Nice Mini System for the price...
I recently purchased this system for my living room.It performs really well for my needs.Surround sound is great and DVDs look awesome on a Sony XBR970 tv.Two things I don't like.1.)Auto calibration mic was pretty inaccurate determining speaker setup and 2.) cheesy speaker cable out of the box.

pretty good
I have had this for about a year and it has worked well. I specifically bought it to tune into radio, so I have not used the CD player and whatever functions it might have. Pretty light, 7 of 10 sound quality, can hang on wall, detachable speakers. Good for cost. I would recommend and buy for a gift.

Great for a small office
I recently purchased this item for my wife who has a small office.the reception on this unit is great.Bieng in a steel building she is able to get all the local radio stations. The sound quality on it is perfect for a small room considering the price range it is in.If you are looking for a booming sound this is not for you but it will provide a solid quality sound.

There's no rule that stereo systems have to be big and bulky, as this trendy microsystem from Philips aptly proves. The wall-mountable MC235 is a mere 3.78 inches thick--bigger than a credit card but far smaller than the average CD player and speaker combo. Yet the system still packs dynamic audio performance inside its narrow body, with such features as digital sound control and digital dynamic bass boost (DDBB). The former invites the user to choose between different sound settings, including optimal, jazz, rock, techno, and classic, and then automatically adjusts the sound balance and frequencies to create the most favorable setup for the chosen music style. DDBB, on the other hand, enhances the bass at low, mid, and high volumes to deliver rich, deep sounds, an important consideration for a small system such as this.Read more

Just love it
It sounds good and looks nice too. I love the way the cd player opened straight up. Its just really cool !

Pretty good buy
Like it. not great on the low end of sound, but definitely a good buy for the $$$$.

Attractive and inexpensive product
This small stereo system is exactly what it claims--a good small system at a good price.Sound is solid, and although bass and treble adjustments are limited to several factory preset mixes, one of the presets seems to work well for everything from talk radio, to jazz, to classical, or rock.

Very nice!
I bought this unit along with the Samsung 56" DLP TV.It came very quickly from Amazon (received in 2 days).It is excellent quality, exactly what I was expecting from a Sony.It setup very easy, I am running the HDMI Passthrough for both my HDCable Box and the Samsung HD960 unit as well.The setup of the device was extremely easy, easy to rename inputs and the theater setup wizard is very easy and works very well.
Awsome ( Free Shipping from Amazon Didn't Hurt Either!)
Excellent product. It even comes with a calibration microphone that tests and calibrates all the speakers and lets you know if any of them is misplaced/out of range for optimum performance.
Problems With Sony
Unit worked well. Remote was defective. Had to ship it at my expense with much paperwork and wait for return. This made receiver virtually useless. Received replacement and, you guessed it, same defect. More time with a useless home theater.

Great System
I own this home theater system, the best of this system is the 1000 watts(great and deep bass), Hdmi port, front audio and rear audio port(when using rear wireless) and up-convertion for HD ready monitors.
Great Product
I had no trouble installing the system in my house.We put in a movie and it work right off the bat.
Excellent system
This is a quality home theater system, a lot of sound for the money. It is easy to use and interfaces well with my Samsung DLP. Another key element of the Panasonic system is the option of a wireless unit to the rear speakers. For about another $100, it is really worth the money -- no wires to run under carpet or through the attic. Mine works flawlessly. ... Read more

Its very Entertaining and hasbig show off looks.
I must say this product is very powerful and rich in sound,damn just watch a dvd of king kong on it and you will see what am talking about,the sound and power makes you jump at times and it is so detailed that it feels as if things are creeping up on you from the back. It really is a well put together system and a beauty in the front room,the set up is easy and the controls are smooth,it isnt as fast on loading as the panasonic system i had before but trust me this system can hold its own,i only had it turned up half way and thats all you need,it would blow you away,have and go get one of these bad boys. ...

Excellent Value for money
The Audio and Video Quality that this home theater provides is outstanding, as movies look crystal clear and sound excellent as well. The back speaker's sound is crisp, considering it's wireless. It only needs an AC outlet nearby and that's it. Also, very handy for playing music from my iPod. The sound quality when playing this was very good.
Convenience Vs Hissing....
I have had many home theater systems in past, but I never place the rear speakers in the rear due to wire extensions. So, when I found out that this system has a wireless speaker I surely wanted to try it out. I already knew that wireless speaker could never be as good as the wired ones, and I was right.
Don't bother

Sony's mini systems are designed to deliver big sound from a small package, and the MHC-EC70 doesn't disappoint. The 320-watt system (160 watts x 2)--which fits beautifully in an apartment, small home, or office setting--comes with everything you need to fill your listening space with rich, full-bodied music, including a three-disc CD changer, a single-well cassette deck, a digital AM/FM tuner, and a pair of three-way bass-reflex speakers. The CD changer is the system's centerpiece, with such features as CD-R, CD-RW, and MP3 (on CD-R/RW) playback, track programming, and repeat and random play. The changer also offers play exchange, which invites listeners to swap out two CDs while the third keeps playing--a must for parties and other occasions where you don't want to miss a moment of music.

Not as good as the MHC-GX250
I thought this new model would be a good replacement to my old MHC-GX250 which was a bit big for my new smaller room. But I was the MHCEC70 Minisystem is truely "Mini" and inferior in quality to the older MHC-GX250 which was around $280 and was well worth it. This system does not deliver the 320 Watts compared to my older system which used to blow up the room. Moreover it lacks an auxilary and Game Sync, so you can't hook up your TV, IPOD or XBOX to it..

Unacceptable
This model was intended as a replacement for my not-very-old and yet quite functional Panasonic PM-series stereo.This is the kind of thing that happens when you browse Amazon while drunk late at night.
Good performance for $150; but cheaply made (in China).
I've owned many Sony electronics in the past and have always liked their styling and functionality -- lots of hardy Walkmen, useful shortwave and portable radios, stylish TVs and high quality cassette recorders.I still have a Sony mini component stereo model FH-E656 (made in Japan) which I bought in 1992 for US$400+; but rather than pay to fix its worn-out CD player, I decided to purchase this new Sony MHCEC70 component stereo (made in China).

Great Sound, Simple Setup
Amazing home theater sound from only 2 speakers. much better value than the Bose system. The DVD player is very nice.

AWESOME
This is a very impressive theater system.Probably the best in it's class.I prefer it to my Bose 123 system, which cost 3 time as much.I love it.Great sound, compact, sleek design.

Big sound for a small price
I don't need to vibrate the walls or let my neighbors down the street know what I'm listening to. This unit is sharp looking, easy to install and has ample sound for me. I watched a couple of movies this past weekend, and I really felt like I was watching them in a theater (at less than half the volume). If you are really into the full surround sound system, by all means pay more, but for this price and sound quality, I don't see how you can go wrong. For those that think this will only work in a small room, I have mine in a 500sf room and have more than enough power to rock the walls if I wanted to. ... Read more

Excellent System for Price.
If you want a budget home theater system for under $200 there is probably not many systems better then the Sony HT-DDW700. This system is ideal for small rooms such as a bed room or a tiny living room.
Impossible Menus
Although this system sounds generally good out of the box, the bass is much too strong. Even after the automatic tuning with the included mic, the bass is much too strong. The menus are impossible to figure out (two PHDs tried). They are nonsensical and confusing and often get in a loop that you cannot get out of unless you turn the unit off. In short, good sound, but not sensational. Bass much too strong and even turned way down it is still too strong. And HORRIBLE menu system that defies use. There have to be better systems out there where the menu system is carefully thought out and sensible.

Excellent Choice
I purchased this item recently and it's excellent in all aspects. It took me less than a hour to set it up and the super cool auto calibration takes cares of calibrating the speakers without having the pain of doing it manually. The subwoofer delivers a meaty bass and the surround speakers are very impressive. The centre channel could have been powered up a bit more so that it can deliver the movie dialogues in depth, but still it does a good job. Overall, I would say it's an excellent choice when you compare the cost vs performance. ... Read more

Great little remote
When my Toshiba VCR remote starting giving me problems, I decided to look into a Universal replacement.I don't care for their usual bulkiness, so this one stood out because of its slim-line design.The reviews were positive and the price unbelievably low, so I took a chance.
Easy to set up and works very well
We had used One For All remotes for years but when we got our Tivo a year or so ago I couldn't find a One For All that would work and bought a different brand. Those never worked well. We put up with them for a long time and then I thought I should look at the One For Alls again and found this unit. Bought two and we are very happy with them. They have a strong transmitter and when you push a button the button is pushed. No more getting channel 27 instead of 277 for example. These are good remotes.

Didn't work well for me
My original remote for my t.v. broke.I bought this one to replace it and thought that if it would control at least as much of my dvd/vcr functions as the original t.v. remote had done, so much the better. But it controls only a limited number of the functions for each and will not allow full use of the devices' menus. Contrary tothe other very positive reviews here, I am not impressed! ... Read more
