Look & Feel: The design of the Sony moniceiver is rather simple, but which I personally find very beautiful. In addition, the device should be indeed in the various interiors of various cockpit harmoniously with what will probably work well with this restrained, but very elegant design. The processing itself makes me a very high-quality impression nothing creaks or wobbles when operating or protruding corners I can also find no.
Most of the operation via the clean responsive touch display with a resolution of 800 x 480 pixels. There is also a separate knobs for volume and a USB and AUX port. There is a home button and the slot of the DVD drive above the display Finally. All very clearly laid out and easily accessible.
Menu / Steering: Incorporation into the menu system works with virtually no view of the (well-written) manual and after a few minutes I feel at home.
Radio reception: Phew ... that's lean! Hardly a transmitter comes clean, the noise is also relocation not better. Therefore, for better or worse has yet forth an amplifier. However, this problem appears in almost all modern radios occur (Google says). After the amplifier is interposed, the sound 4x 52 watts of Sony but really completely fed and clean. The Sony has capacity to store up to 6 favorite stations.
MP3 via USB stick: I have quite a large collection of Mp3 different genres, so I was in this sub-discipline of course very excited. The Sony makes everything clean through, but ... why MP3 will not play with a bit rate of more than 192kb / s, probably remains the secret of Japanese engineering. Thus, me most of my classical and jazz pieces probably can not accompany you on trips. Very sad and angry! However, for this to work the Android Music playback - function without problems.
DVD / Video playback time: Here the Sony reconciled me back something. The 6.1 inch display is still surprisingly easy to read even in intense sunlight. Playback of movies on DVD or from USB flash drive is working properly and without any lag. From the image itself, I am pleasantly surprised, it is crisp and the colors are also very tired.
My conclusion: Despite sacrificing radio reception and the scandal at the Mp3 I can recommend the Sony Moniceiver well. The price / performance ratio and the above-mentioned positive aspects (processing, operating concept, sound, movie playback) to make the two weaknesses already betting almost back.
