Disadvantages:
--------------
- Display is for taking pictures or video viewing too small (1.77 inches with 120x160 pixels)
For MP3-cover but still acceptable.
- Front optics of the housing made smart but designed rear ugly and made of matte plastic (see pictures)
- Radio transmitters without display of the name and RDS
Conclusion: The Sony MP3 player convinces with its good sound and the attractive price. For image-viewing and video can look to forget him. For this, the display is too small and grossly resolved. Well, I like the operation and easily understandable menu navigation. Even for the radio reception he is well suited, even if he does not support RDS or displays station name. Is a pity that title can not be deleted from the player without a PC. But everything does not go flat. I also found the front made visually very beautiful. Unfortunately, one has been in the back no trouble. Nevertheless, the total package.
