Best concept of improvement implementation

Before purchasing this system I have researched extensively on the internet and found in this price range in terms of the range of functions is no comparable another product. My requirements for the new system were: FM RDS tuner, CD player, USB player, Internet radio and network audio player.

I have the CMT MX700NI now not disappointed in our dining / living area in operation and was on the whole for a week as a replacement of an old FM radio. Based on my research, I knew well the problem that one Internet radio station currently can not save (*** Edit 26/05/2011: saving now works as desired ***). That cost the device in my review also an entire star. In addition there are a number of other smaller, more or less disturbing quirks, but about which I personally look away, because I use them hardly or never. Here is a summary of all the negative points that struck me so far:
- After an interruption of the stream when playing Internet radio you have to press the play button, so that playback resumes (coming only sporadically before - probably only at high traffic to the station currently selected);
- Navigation in the sender or title lists due to the modest failed dot-matrix display (3 lines of 16 characters) sometimes tedious;
- Keyword search only in the "Music Services" (Radio) and in the "Home Network" (DLNA streaming) possible, and only within one level or folder (no search to USB media);
- Short speaker cables (each approximately 150 cm): not enough that you have to lend a little hand;
- No mute button (either on the device itself, nor on the remote control);
- WPS setup has me neither with the "PIN Code Method" nor with the "push button method" works (Router: Netgear WNDR3700);
- Setting the clock after each disconnect from the power supply required (if you want to use the timer function, or it just puts so only value);
- USB Player does not support playlists (eg .m3u.);
- No headphone output;
- Only USB media with max. 999 tracks support;
- Play with the USB player sometimes works not (Workaround: Remove and re-plugging the USB medium);

But the numerous positive features I do not want to leave unmentioned. After all, they were the reason that I gave the plant at least 4 stars):
+ In view of the functional scope unbeatable price / performance ratio;
+ One for the size of the speakers neater, stronger but still crystal-clear sound;
+ Volume control is very good even in the lower range;
+ Design (matter of taste);
+ The opportunity to decide for themselves whether the (W) LAN is active in standby or not (power saving function);
+ Absolutely stable wireless connection;
+ WLAN settings are retained from the mains and after disconnecting the system;
+ Optional, the system can also be wired connected to the LAN;
+ The Internet Radio service vTuner offers a wealth of global Radiostatonen (details sh vTuner website.);
+ Sleep Timer;
+ On Timer (alarm);
+ CD drive almost inaudible;
+ Printed manual (nowadays no longer be taken for granted);
+ Good documentation for setting up the Windows Media Player 11/12 as a DLNA Server on Windows XP / Vista / 7;
+ Functions (many operating modes, of which I have the iPod / iPhone docking station, connect external devices and the Party Streaming not yet getetstet);
+ Sony Support: save the Internet radio station was made available later, contrary to expectations (that worked until recently).

Edit (17/02/2011): the problems with the USB player cost the facility another star;
Edit (18/04/2011): lt a mail from Sony CIC intended to save Internet radio stations via vTune from July 2011 be possible;.
Edit (26/05/2011): I was informed yesterday from Sony CIC via email about the fact that the storing of stations in vTune should work now - and: it finally! (+1 Star);
Edit (08/18/2013): so far there was no single (software) crashes;
