The reviews looked now not very inviting, but you showed the
most pure user error were.
The unit stores all right, even when the ignition key.
One must, the red to the yellow cable only exchange (if the radio forgets).
So swap ignition and continuous positive.
This is absolutely simple and requires no tools, because it is only plugged.
The TA function can be disabled, but there is a separate "TA" button on the radio.
I mention this because I have read here already often that you supposedly do not disable TA
can.
Among the other reviews I have to say sometimes they are quite justified.
Yes, it looks a bit cheap, especially compared to my old Sony CDX-GT35U, which
was installed in my old car.
The display is set much too bright, plus there is a very poor response time,
is intended to mean that if the text durchscrollt, is not behind the display
and we see mostly Buchstabenbrei on the display.
The next item would be to address that the preamplifier output not on subwoofer
can change.
This is an absolute gripe for me, since I no longer so the volume of the amplifier
can adjust via the radio.
This was possible without any problems with other and previous Sony radios.
The general settings are very minimalist.
The EQ can be set only in 3 steps (not a real lack, have many other car radios and so)
Display brightness can be set only "Normal" or "dimmer", do not configure the brightness free
But how is it possible for competing models for the same price.
But positive aspects, the device has also:
Radio reception works fine and clear.
The sound is typical Sony very good and tight (if you set it properly)
The settings are quickly called and made quickly,
nothing is great hidden or made complicated.
The assembly lasted thanks to the ISO port no 10 min.
Conclusion:
For this price, you should really can not expect much or is it?
I mean it!
The competition runs in the same price range much larger guns as Sony.
Thus, for at competitive devices, the amplifier outputs to adjust subwoofer.
In addition, the display brightness can be set partially open during EQ settings
be with 6-10 bands offered at the competition.
Here at Sony is not available from all this.
So what justifies the purchase of this device?
In my opinion, still the familiar Sony comfort.
It's easy and fast to use, looks good and has a great sound.
Why the whole setting with the competition?
I had some tested in recent times, but stay with the Sony because it
has the usual operation and also has a pretty good sound.
Who far Sony not had in the car, had better buy a unit of the competition (JVC, Pioneer, Kenwood)
this offer for the same money a lot more simple functions.
