Sony CMT-NEZ30 Audio Micro System with CD Player, Cassette Deck, and AM/FM Tuner
Sony CMT-NEZ30 Micro Hi-Fi Component System - This micro audio system delivers a multitude of audio entertainment choices, while being compact enough to fit comfortably in a work cubicle, home office, living room bookcase, or any other small living space. It features a single CD player, single cassette deck, and AM/FM radio. The CD player plays both standard audio CDs, as well as CD-R/RW discs filled with MP3 music. You even get a PC/Audio In jack, so you can connect either your portable digital audio player, or PC, for playback through the two 15 Watts per channel speakers.

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. Of course, components are only half the story. The system also includes a pair of bass-reflex speakers with "tuned" ports that increase and extend the bass response, along with a full complement of drivers (3.1-inch woofer, 1.6-inch tweeter, and 0.8-inch supertweeter per speaker). Contributing to the system's satisfying audio performance are the built-in equalizer--with rock, jazz, classic, hall, live, movie, and flat modes--and Sony's Dynamic Sound Generator X-tra (DSGX) Mega Bass sound enhancer, which further boosts the lows. Listeners can even set the CMT-NEZ30 to record a radio program when they're not home (for those who just can't stand to miss "Car Talk") or to serve as a sleep timer or alarm. The unit offers 10 timed shutoffs for people who like to drift off to sleep with music, and will wake to your choice of the radio or a CD. And as a final bonus, the system includes a PC/audio input. The dual-use jack can accommodate either digital music players, such as portable MP3 players or iPods, or PCs with speaker outputs. Once connected, users can listen to their full iPod or MP3 catalog through the system's speakers, or they can stream music directly from their PC. Additional features include an easy-to-read LCD display, a comprehensive remote control, and a power-save mode. Dimensions range from 6.45 by 9.25 by 10.44 inches (W x H x D) for the main unit to 5.71 by 9.25 by 6.1 for each speaker. The entire system is backed by a one-year warranty on parts and labor.

Sony CMT-NEZ30 Audio Micro System with CD Player, Cassette Deck, and AM/FM Tuner Reviews
This is not an acceptable life for an electronic item. My unit (purchased from Amazon for $100 dollars) failed after 17 months (5 months longer than the warranty period). For my next purchase I am looking at non-Sony products now. I expected the life would be more than 3 years. In recent years, a few of Sony components I purchased just seem to be low quality. Clearly, Sony does not care about their customers. Like a car, the main feature the consumers look for is reliability. Design features are important, but the consumers will eventually turn away from Sony products, if they can't meet or exceed life requirements.
I bought this stereo because I needed a little something to go into my home office/gym. This was exactly what I was looking for. At the risk of dating myself, I was really looking for something that I could play my old cassette tapes on along with a cd player and an AM/FM tuner. And now I found out from reading other people's reviews, that I can hook up an ipod to it too. If you have a spare set of others laying around, I would use them instead.or maybe visit your local RadioShack or WalMart to get some inexpensive alternates.
The speakers, though, are a bit on the weak side. And it actually did more than I expected. What I didn't know, is that it plays MP3 cd's as well. It fits on my shelf perfectly without taking up too much room.
Easy set up. This is a great system for anyone who needs good sound in a small space.
The remote function works very well, and the feather touch tape deck couldn't be better. I've been using this CD player and Cassette player, and I do have to say that it works flawlessly. If anybody were to ask, I recommend it. The speakers have a smooth frequency response, and the system itself seems to put out quite a bit of high quality power.
I have owned one of these for a couple of years and am well pleased with it. I recently bought another for a friend.
