This Sony product has a very big sound for its price, great reproduction and, most importantly, plays from CD, USB stick as well as FM radio, bluetooth etc. What is more important is the service one gets from Appliances on Line. I initially went to JB HiFi to buy this, but even on a Monday morning with me the only customer, all the staff were too busy doing their jobs. I asked the sales counter people for assistance and they called over the PA - but nobody cam so after a wait of 3 mins I went home. There I checked AOL just in case it was something they did sell. I found it, much cheaper($376 vs $449) and had it in my hands 2 days later. I have always purchased my big ticket items from AOL (these last 7/8 years). Now I guess they are going to get pretty much all of my business in the future.
