Mini stereo system Sharp CD-C480T

In the fight for customers "electronic giants" - always looking for new solutions . Sharp, for example, surprised the flagship model of a series of "cheap and cheerful". CD480 for me was a complete surprise. What do you think about home theater for $ 330? By bundling the usual inexpensive mini-added system AV in speakers with wires and decoder Dolby Pro Logic. For fans experiment with surround sound, in addition, the system provides nine (!) Audio processing options. Hunters delight ester 40 tuner presets with our VHF. Sonyam suitable timer, adjustable in increments of one minute: Accuracy - the politeness of kings? Additionally, you can connect two external AV-source (VCR, for example, and TV). Bet on the home theater for the money necessitated to save on construction. It is manifested in the slowness three-disc CD-changer, cassette deck as mechanics (though the developers have managed to keep still reversed on one truck) and the application of a modest plastic wherever possible. I note that the e-filling, responsible for additional functions (EQ , DSP, memory) in the "Sharp" is perhaps the most fancy. Here you have savings... Abundance settings reflected in the management, which is a bit overloaded. Of course, it was not possible to luxuriate power amplifier (always expensive): the number of watts on each of the four channels is not God knows what. But, in my opinion, developers have found a good correlation with the distribution of power. At least tylovikov got a hefty jackpot, so surround sound can be adjusted over a wide range. What I did while listening to the test disc, recorded with encoded in prolodzhike sound. Sharp quite successfully coped with the task , and the sound differed clearly readable volume, good separation of the channels. The only thing lacking bass (even XBASS not helped). Subwoofer output would be... but it, alas, is not provided in the system. It seems that in a tiny mini-cinema devyatimetrovke from Sharp will be able to create a good sound field with precise localization of sources. This is facilitated by the parameters of frontal systems ( select the range 500 - 1500 Hz, 15 dB frequency response rise from 2 to 8 kHz) and tonally consistent with the "front" AV-native speakers.
