The installation is very easy and fast, within a few minutes the device has detected all TV and radio programs. If you want to change the station list manually, but the built-RASS system that automatically will keep the channel list currently can (which I wonder is why the Fourth, which has ceased operations, still led), is no longer working. Moving is when you consult the instructions fairly simple. In general, the menus are designed quite clear and the online manual provided with pleasing-date (27.3.) Is good and color illustrations and detailed. However, the accompanying Quick Start Guide also contains the essential functional descriptions. The machine is not making noise.
Since such receivers are often used as a receiver for secondary devices, eg in the bedroom, it would often be difficult to connect the LAN port, because the CX-75 has not even over a Wi-Fi module, but must be connected via cable to the router to use its wireless function to. The multimedia features offer Youtube, News, Web radio, weather and as a highlight the SmartStream to other devices such as a tablet. In practice, unfortunately, it works with us all not good. On YouTube it was not possible, on the first search offers weiterzublättern addition, to this, we also found no information in the guide but that may be an operator error. When the radio is not clear which proposals are selected despite we could update z. B. can not find the Inselradio from Mallorca. In messages only English pages (BBC etc.) are displayed. When weather 8 degrees were shown us, even though we had significant plus degrees. The information is rudimentary and also English. The SmartStream did not want to start on our Android tablet in the VLC player at the given address. Whether at all connect to the home network has come about, I could not see, but should be due to the usability of the other features actually. On the PC, the CX-75 does not appear in the network environment, anyway. An error message on the CX-75 but there is no. I can not rule out, however, that the router is not set correctly here.
The operation, image quality (HD and SD) and EPG (TV Guide) fell for multiple channels or even the specific programs in the currently selected channel are good. The remote is also neat to use. Unfortunately, the CX-75 has no recording function to record, for example. On a hard drive. This contrast offers the slightly more expensive CX-76. I think it is in the low differential (currently about 10, - Euro) sinnfrei to bring here two devices on the market, which differ only in the feature. Too bad, because the timer (which we programmed according to our recorder) works well. A software update I have been unable to discover (such is in the guidance suggested). Again, quite impractical that the update can not be done via the Internet, but only via a USB stick. Also not so nice that the CX-75 to loop the antenna signal in standby mode draws current. After all, can be looped through the menu to activate, otherwise comes on TV with the receiver only a weak signal on.
Here with us about the TV operation (Toschiba) the receiver is also triggered any Smart Connection capabilities on both devices, despite shutdown. So when you operate the volume button the teletext is activated, and the like. So it can happen that we accidentally adjust the program in a running recording.
Conclusion: Actually, the receiver of the money has some nice features. However, these have so far limited for us useful but that may still partly be due to operating or setting errors. I would go for more flexibility (recording function) prefer the CX-76. The test results of home theater and AreaDVD (recommended, as detailed description of the menus, etc.) we can therefore agree to a limited extent. At present we can only awarded 3 stars, we should mentioned dysfunctions can still fix that would vote but higher.
