Photos and specs Mini stereo system Sony MHC-GNV111D

Looking at their large diffusers and derived double reflex port forward, you feel: Mid Bass will be many. Acoustics center channel on the background of these giants looks toy. Central place on the front panel occupies a large volume knob surrounded by a special ring to select additional modes. In the massive case there was a place for the three-disc DVD- changer carousel, double cassette deck and front AV-input. The system comes with DVD- 200 karaoke songs and two microphones.

There are original function X-Round, which allows using a special handle (X-Round Jog) to quickly adjust balance, (including between the front and rear pair), and " rotate " the sound in any direction (involves all five columns). Moreover, the " dance " can be run in automatic mode to specify the rate of displacement of the sound image.

OSD abounds incomprehensible icons. But it is easy to control the system from the front panel - come to the aid of the handle comfortable selection of tracks/radio presets or "smooth rewind"/frequency search stations.
