Customer reviews

Nice compact system.
I bought this for my “technology challenged” parents and they were able to use it easily. The controls are very logical. Sound is not bad either, but it is not high powered, and there are no separate bass and treble controls. For the money it is a good deal because you can play cassettes, CDs, and an AM/FM radio.

SONY = Stops Operating Next Year
This unit looks nice and plays nice, until it doesn’t anymore.

This piece of crap worked for only 3 months and was turned on about 10x only, as it stood in my bedroom where I only seldom listen to music. It went dead all of a sudden, and Sony doesn’t honor the limited warranty !!

Apparently, what I have (a short circuit, that prevents me from turning the unit on) is a common defect and it’s even MENTIONED in the owner’s manual (ie if you get standy flashing, you’re in trouble!).

I had several bad experiences with Sony, this will be my last. My advice is stay with Panasonics, they’re way way way better.

review for Sony CMT-NEZ3 Micro component system
The unit was satisfying as advirtised in all ways.

I thought the the max volume limitation at peak was not as close to what the unit could produce, (maybe at least 20% more without distortion) as the volume control will not go farther than allowed by the unit.

The clock in the dark is useless, as it is not bright enough to see from any distance.

Lastly, their is NO audio out port to allow any singals from the 3 audio sourses that play well through excelent speakers of shelf size to be transmited to another source, be it a computer or another sound sytem.

The headphone output could be used for computer input use, but this signal is amplified. Strange how this missing audio out port is on some lesser systems, and not this one. (there is an audio in port, but isn’nt that sort of useless, if this unit has 3 good audio sources?)

The unit’s size is fine for an office, liv room or den and is not a sound sytem to have a giant party with, only background music.

A treble control would have also been useful, in additon to the bass boost of at least 10 %, but I suppose bass background is more pleasant than treble boosted signals.

Overall, the unit does the job in my studio, and for the price was far above others in qualtiy, size and performance.

I assume an equalizer would have driven the price up, as well as a higher max volume level.(I would have paid an extra $20.)

You get what you paid for, and in this system is fully advirtised corrrectly.

Very Pleased
I had been searching for a mini MP3 system for some time. This one arrived in just a couple of days, was easy to set up, and I have been playing it constantly ever since and love it. I was a little sceptical about ordering a refurbished model, but am pleased to say, it worked out very well. Would highly recommend this model for someone who wants a simple mini system. The sound qualtity is great.

CD changer died after a few months
The system looked great, and was a great price, but after a few months the CD changer died. And wouldn’t open with my CDS in it. And of course you threw out the box–so how are you going to ship this not so micro thing back? And how much is that going to cost-it’s heavy. And so you have a $99 radio.
