Description:

Sony's 4-piece, 60-disc MHC-GX750 stereo system delivers slamming sonics and unparalleled convenience, from its high-powered amplifier and speaker combo to its RF (radio-frequency) wireless audio transmitter. The wireless transmitter (and built-in receiver) works with any minijack stereo source, whether your PC or your docked and charging MP3 player. The system pumps a pulse-jacking 160 watts per channel across a pair of 3-way, dual-woofer speakers, and a stand-alone, 180-watt subwoofer with an 8-inch cone makes sure you'll never miss a kick-drum hit or a low bass note.

You get storage for and access to a whopping 60 CDs--standard, CD-R/CD-RW, or MP3 CD--with play exchange (so you can swap discs while one is playing). For MP3 playback, you'll enjoy easy navigation through disc file management with 2 sets of controls (1 each for files and folders). When you first insert an MP3-encoded disc, the player scans all files on the disc. You can have up to 150 folders with a maximum number of 300 total items (files and folders).

The single-well cassette deck offers full-logic, auto-reverse performance, and the FM/AM radio boasts 30 station presets (20 FM, 10 AM) for ultimate tuning convenience.

A cool feature called Game Sync mixes the sound from the system's front-panel audio/video inputs with the sound of your favorite music--whether from CD, MP3 CD, cassette, or radio--so you're not forced to choose between game sound and music listening. You can have either one--or both. Maintain a composite-video connection between the stereo and your television, and you'll have instant video access right from the unit's front panel.

You'll find no cheap up/down volume buttons here--the MHC-GX750 sports an easy-to-grab, illuminated center volume knob that goes all the way up. Other great features include shuffle, program, and repeat CD playback, CD synchro recording, a bright, easy-to-read, color fluorescent display with spectrum analyzer, and a Remote Commander remote control to keep you in full couch-potato mode.

Extensive audio processing enhancements include Sony's Groove bass enhancement circuit, as well as 12 preset equalizer curves with 3-band parameter adjustments to heighten the power of your music or tailor the sound for a specific location. Further, Direct AV EQ adds 16 preset equalizer settings that cater to music (Pop, Rock, Soul, Oriental, Dance, Jazz, etc), movies (Drama, Action, and Musical), and games (Arcade, Adventure, and Racing).

Direct AV EQ also lets you store customized settings in 3 personal files. And, if that's not enough, the system even simulates surround sound for spacious music or movie effects. Finally, VACS (Variable Attenuation Control System) is designed to ensure superb clarity, even at high volume levels, preventing amplifier "clipping" and its consequent distortion.
