Very good system for my daughter to play her Ipod on. She loves it!!! It probably rates higher in her opinion but I haven't used it at all, she was able to get it up and running easily and now there's always music coming from her "cave" she says she loves it. It was a good value and I'm glad I got it for her.

power shut down issue

We purchased this stereo and enjoyed the features, size, style, and sound. However it soon started shutting itself down. We would power it back on, and eventually in 5-45 minutes, it would shut itself off again. We returned it to Best Buy, and got a replacement that did the same thing. We ended up dealing with customer service at the store for days, until they were able to replicate the problem. Best Buy offered us store credit, but their selection in this size and feature range is limited. Now we are out the money, have nothing else we need from Best Buy, and no stereo.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Incredible sound & features from a mini-system!!!
What's not so great: Mini lettering on RC may be challenging for 40+ year olds
Though normally priced around $150 at BB , I hunted around lots to compare various systems, read many reviews, and was ready to pay $99 on a special sale week for the best-sounding mini system on the market today! My main observations in the store: 1) better sound than any small system in the $150-$350 range, 2) only small system with USB port for playing tunes from thumb drive, 3) great compact size for a shelf system to replace my old AIWA, and I need to take it overseas.
Now it's been home for a few weeks, and I've put it thru the paces testing every type of music source it can play: USB inputs, CDs, MP3 files, AM/FM radio, Ipod, and (what I was most curious about# sound input from the DVD player using a chord with two RCA-style plugs at one end and a 3.5mm jack on the end that plugs into the stereo system, so it can also serve to improve sound from the TV, kinda like an inexpensive surround sound. I had my own, but was told by a salesman that this chord is available at Best Buy for under $5.
The sound this system puts out is truly impressive for these small speakers #beats many bigger ones I heard in the store#, and with the X-Bass feature turned on I really don't think one will miss the sub-woofer. In fact, for use in small apartments, office, and other non-huge-party-blasting environments where you can't just max it out with no respect for others, this system has a rich, full, deep sound with no distortions.
Very few reviewers had a bad experience with something breaking down just after a year, or when the warranty had just expired, but I don't have the history to comment on reliability. For assurance, I purchased the 2-yr extended warranty plan for only $15 and hope it lasts longer than some products made in China #Stereo made in Malaysia, RC made in China).
Okay, here's another REAL COOL feature I also loved: I live overseas in a region 4 area, so have constant conflicts with rented DVDs in my other Region 1 player. As long as I can download NetFlix movies overseas, I can play them thru the Ipod dock directly to the TV, since this unit has a video output on the back of it. How cool is that?!?!?
Okay, the only issue that got a few negative reviews that I have to agree with is the tiny print on the remote control, from which most of the features must be commanded. Will not be a problem for teens and folks who haven't begun stretching their arm when reading, but I've seen other smaller remotes that had very clear, bigger print, so I know they could've done better. Just remember, it's a MINI system, so they really made it so in every way.
Get it if you need a small, quality shelf system with great sound....you won't regret it!

What's not so great: Little on the expensive side..
Using it as a garage stereo, for which it works great. Nice sound quality, plenty of features, iPhone/Pod, CD and AM/FM options are all great.
Had it for a month and a half so far and it's been through a number of dart tournaments and has worked great.

What's great about it: Sound quality
What's not so great: The remote could be a lttle better but good enough
Let me start by saying the clean yet rich sound produced by such a small system is very impressive. I purchased, brought home tested and returned 4 different Sony systems ($120-$200 range) before deciding to stay with this one. I have always been a Sony guy until now. The first 2 Sony systems are were basically the same minus the sub-woofer. If you are strictly after deep bass for a good price, either of these will work for you. If you like to play various types of music, these both had too much bass and almost sounded muffled. The next 2 Sony systems I tried were smaller low watt options that both sounded pretty good/clear but with too little rich bass and not enough power to play MP3s very loud. I took all of these back and brought this Sharp system home to test and it was immediately obvious this was the best all around in terms of sound quality, clean, clear, loud and with plenty of bass. I would highly recommend this system if you're looking for an all around performer...

What's great about it: Easy to use, great value
What's not so great: nothing
This unit is a wonderful shelf unit for the money. I use it with an IPhone 4s in a 1000 square foot first level and it works great. I've had it for about a month with no problems whatsoever. The sound quality, I think, is certainly good unless you are really serious about your music or love to blast it really loud. If you just like to have it on while you cook, eat, have a party, etc. it works great. It's easy to use and blessedly not overcomplicated as so many things can be these days. It has what you need - not a lot of stuff you think sounds like a great feature but in reality don't won't ever use.

What's not so great: Nothing
I purchased this unit because of the value, size, sound quality amd most of all because of the USB port since I record a lot of music on flash drives. My wife finds the ease of use much better than the system it replaced. We have been very happy with it and the wife said she would even like to have another in the bedroom.

I was amazed at the sound quality this system put out .. I was skeptic because of the size, but was shocked when I turned it on. The music is so clear and the sound is better than most bigger systems,with bigger prices. It's definitely a great buy at a good bargain.
