Sony MHCEC78Pi Mini Hi-Fi Shelf System with Digital Media Port and 380-Watts RMS (Silver) Reviews
| 30 of 34 people found the following review helpful  Hype Not Substance, By This review is from: Sony MHCEC78Pi Mini Hi-Fi Shelf System with Digital Media Port and 380-Watts RMS (Silver) (Electronics) This unit was the middle of three Sony offerings at a national chain. I should have walked away when I saw that none of the three would lock on to even one station...when there's almost two dozen stations right in town. But hey, it's a Sony, right? People who say Sony has gone downhill are just blowing steam....I'm beginning to think they were right. Here's why: 1) FM reception is marginal, even with ideal antenna placement. In fact, the instructions tell you how to power off the CD portion of the system in order to improve reception. This is ludicrious in an all-in-one system. I know enough about human factors and design engineering to recognize that the complex, three-fingers-at-once keying required to power down the CD player is clearly a diagnostic designed in for techs, but which has been published in the instructions as some sort of workaround to salvage a poor system design. 2) The display cannot be read unless it is eye level or below...

I bought it for my girlfriend who has a studio and this thing is nice and loud enough to blanket the bedroom and kitchen area (which aren't connected in a typical rectangular fashion). It's a great option for a living room area or bedroom. The price on this thing makes it right all the way. 5 of 6 people found the following review helpful MHC EC78Pi, By This review is from: Sony MHCEC78Pi Mini Hi-Fi Shelf System with Digital Media Port and 380-Watts RMS (Silver) (Electronics) Pros: OK sound, plays MP3 CDs, OK FM reception, iPod connection.Cons: Horrible looking speakers, speaker leads too short, clock display cuts off after 8 seconds, no CD changer. I bought one of these to replace a 7-year old Magnavox mini component system with a 5-CD changer, in one of my vacation rental homes. Quite a miracle that it lasted this long. The sound of the Sony system is no better than the Magnavox, although I'm sure it would play much, much louder, if anyone could stand it. I have to wonder what kind of person designs this kind of junk. The speakers are separate from the main unit, but the speaker wires are 24ga, and only about 4 ft long, and the connections are sealed inside the so-called speaker cabinets, so to set the speakers on top of the bookshelf with a reasonable separation, I had to join extension wires to them - 8 wires altogether. And that's another thing - why does it need two sets of speaker wires? This is NOT high fidelity... Read more |
