Little Big System
Did a little research on the net before deciding on this system and so far quite pleased with the techie audio options and sound quality. Was looking for a shelf system with decent sound and the LBT-ZT4 fit my price and functionality requirements well. You can hook up almost anything to this system (MP3, etc) if you have a vast arsenal of media players, and it has enough bells and whistles to keep you entertained for hours if you're into tweeking and customizing. It is a bit larger than your normal-sized shelf system, and needs open space to keep it from overheating (has a fan inside), so you might want to double check your shelf space beforehand to make sure you have enough room. It comes set up with the wacky light and "speedometer" display, but you can turn these features off if you like less of a light show. Also, sound-wise some of the presets can be a little heavy on the "watch my furniture vibrate across the room" excess bass feel, but this can be toned down as well. It also has an iPod dock if you have an iPod, but if you don't, it still has enough options to hook up your other MP3 players. (I have a Sony MP3 player and assumed the dock would also accomodate my Sony MP3 since it IS a Sony shelf system, but the dock only accepts an iPod. Weird.) The remote could have had more thought invested into it- If I want to hear track 4 on a CD, I have to hit "skip, skip skip" instead of just selecting track 4. A bit annoying and a little surprised Sony didn't spend more time on designing their remote. Overall though, I'm pleased with my purchase and expect to enjoy the functionality options for years to come.
Gregg's Sony review
This system is called a "mini" system but it's far from that. It's larger than I thought it would be and powerful enough to pump out some good sound. It has everything I wanted such as a three CD player and an iPod dock that recharges as well as plays. The radio has more AM and FM presets than you will need. The remote is easy to use.
Great small stereo system
We are very pleased with our selection. The sound is very satisfactory and the functions are easy to use and understand. Once you get all the bells and whistles turned off, ie flashing lights, meters, etc. it operates very well. Good for the price
