Electronics : Sony NAS-SC55 Giga Juke all-in-one 'Multi-Room Package

Rating: - Wonderful
What a wonderful piece of kit. Yes, it is time consuming to load all CD's onto it, but the results are magnificent. The setup was easy, although the instruction manuals could be better laid out, I did not have any real problems. Creating your own 'compilations' within the playlists is easy and great fun. The sound reproduction is very acceptable. It does exactly what it says it does, and to such a high standard. Fully recommended for a fantastic Christmas present.

I purchased the Sony NAS-S55HDE Giga Juke from Amazon, an excellent service as always, because I wanted to gather all my MP3s on to one system. I proceeded to transfer all my Cd ripped MP3s to the systems Hard Drive. This to fill around 50GB (yes I have a lot of CDs) took nearly 2 Weeks! If you have a small difference in the MP3 tags (ie: Upper or Lower case fonts) for the same album it will put them into seperate folders.
The couple of drawbacks to the Gigajuke is that when trying to connect a USB device such as an External Hard Drive to transfer files, it will only recognise Drives with the Fat32 format, So I've had to re-format two of my NTFS Drives. Also when connecting to the Internet without a Network Router capable of Aoss, if you have a Wireless Router you to have keep entering a WEP Security Key as every time I enter & save the key It seems to forget it when I switch Back to the Remote Wireless Receiver. It also takes an age to switch from one system to another depending on the amount of data onboard. Changing from a good quality Hi-Fi the sound is a bit Naff with no Bass Treble or Balance. Just a few settings to choose from.
This said though I am very pleased overall, it does what it says it does, sound is better than the Philips System & is brilliant at parties. The other night I had the Wireless Receiver setup in the garden & everyone seemed to think it was a great bit of kit. If you don't mind the switch over & entry problems, then go for It!

Rating: - Amazing
I just got this and really like it.
Pros:
1)excellent sound
2)Easy to use
3)really all in one, there are loads of functions to explore
4)It connect with five stations wirelessly
Cons:
1)Expensive
2)too now I still don't know how to connect it with my laptop
3)when u turn it off at 'quick startup' mode, the display can not turn off, even it looks like black
4)the station can only stream music when the server is on or in 'quick startup' mode
But, all in all, it is really very very amazing, so many functions and excellent sound quality, even the small wireless station, definitely exceed your expectation. Recommended
