Pros great sound quality, great power, big sound from a small unit, subwoofer shakes the walls.
Cons remote control doesn't work right, EQ seems to reset itself, speaker wires to short.
Recommended it? No

I purchased the Sony MHC-GX450 in late 2004, upgrading from an old Phillips stereo I had. I always wanted a Sony so i got one and am pleased with it despite its flaws.

First, lets look at the good points of this particular system. It was low priced for $189.00 at Wal-Mart. The sound... Read full review »

Pros Shelf system comparible to larger systems, excellent 150 watt subwoofer, excellent...
Cons no changing FM presets without remote, heavy
Recommended it? Yes

I like the surround mode which I think Sony does well so turn your xbox dolby surround on with this system and it even works with headphones plugged in. I've recorded streaming audio off the internet using the cassette recorder and it was excellent, great freq response. I can play MP3s using CD-RW... Read full review »

Worst piece of electronics I have ever purchased.

Pros No pros.
Cons Constant malfunctions of all kinds. Absolute garbage.
Recommended it? No

After just a few months, the CD tray began to malfunction, and playing CD's was impossible. Sent to Sony repair under warranty, paid $$$ out of pocket for shipping (ouch!). A week after I got it back, the tuner stopped working. I will soon be paying as much in shipping as it would have cost to buy... Read full review »

Sweet System for my Dorm

byflavelle Jan 20, 2006
3 Helpfuls 4 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Loud sound, great price, great looks, plays MP3,
Cons It was darn heavy to carry back from the store.
Recommended it? Yes

Speakers are good sizes but I'd say the unit and sub are a tad large. Very nice elegant look to it, not like those others. Metallic blue-silver accents are sweet. Speaker wires are very short, 5 feet at most. Read full review »

Pros Great power, great price, good looks
Cons Heavy, massive, MALFUNCTIONS
Recommended it? No

I purchased this system because it was very cheap and it was a brand that I thought had very good quality electronics, Sony. Took it home (not easy) it's very heavy and it's in a huge box, got it set up which was simple, and enjoyed the great amount of power that it had. I've had it now for about 2... Read full review »

Cons Garbage

Having the same problem as the other reviewers. The unit just went bezerk yesterday after less than a year of use. It won't play CDs anymore. Display panel shows weird characters.

Pros Great sound and great look
Cons little bass, malfunctions, heavy
Recommended it? No

Once I got this 70+ pound system down to my basement room and got it all set up (1 hour) it kept turning off. I had to take it all the way upstairs and to the truck, and take it back to Sears! When it did work it was awesome!, but it only worked for 10min at a time at most. GO GET A SHARP brand... Read full review »
