Sony CDX-GT270MP

I needed to replace my old Sony so I got this unit for a bargain price, thinking it would be ok. And its a great low end stereo. The power is good, sound was as clear as my old Sony. The EQ setup on the CDX-GT270MP is unique, you can customize each EQ preset with your own setting of bass mid and treble. Each source Fm, Am, CD, and Aux will remember the EQ preset last used. Bass is set at 60hz for tight bass response. RDS to see the song playing on FM radio is a nice feature at this price point. CD Mp3 read time is faster than my old Sony and MP3 tags were read properly. Its easy to use this stereo, the menu is not complicated and the buttons are laid out logically and not grouped too close. Like almost all 1 din stereos the 1-6 buttons are rather small, the function labels for them are even smaller and are not lit at night.



This stereo is rather stark and basic - to get USB, Iphone, color choices, etc you'll have to spend more. If you want to connect multiple amps this is not the stereo for you. So there are few frills here, just a good solid stereo. After a week I realized I really wanted USB and some other features, so I exchanged it for another stereo. But If you only need a really good basic stereo with aux in, the CDX-GT270MP is well worth looking at.

Best base line product for the cash. No problems and have had mine for almost two years now.
