Sony CDXGT640UI MP3/WMA/AAC Player CD Receiver (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Sony CDXGT640UI Receiver is a good receiver with easy to use functions. I purchased this to replace another Sony receiver (same model variety) from 2006 that got stolen. The USB port works well with ipods, USB memory sticks, and other MP3 player deceives. Like most car receivers, it's easy to install by following the directions packaged with the box.
PROS:
* Easy to Install
* Looks stylish
* External USB port works very well with IPOD, usb and other MP3 devices.
* IPOD search for song, artist etc works good.
* Auxilary inputs located in the back of the unit work well.
* Easy to remove faceplate
* Easy to adjust settings
* Easy to turn off demo mode, and faceplate warning beeping
CONS:
* Text/display is difficult to read in daylight.
* Display appears dim (even on the highest setting)
* Preset Buttons are very close together which may inadvertently gets pushed
* Seek Buttons have no texture or highly visible text on it, and so may take a second to realize their function, expecially when packed next to the ZAP, search, and equalizer setting buttons.
* There is a slight learning curve to understand all the features, and setting arrangements.
The fall down face plate that conceals the CD slot is the highlight of this product for me. The dim text display is the low point and is the number one reason why I would not purchase this again, but there are no other Sony options with the same look and features all in one.
Overall, I would purchase this unit again for the look of it and if its priced under $120 (which is what I paid for it through Amazon).
