Sony Gigajuke January 3, 2009 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
Bought the Gigajuke so that I can clear my computer of songs to free up disc space. The sound is great and once you work out how the system works its easy. It takes a while to upload from Cds. New Cds arn't recognized. When this happens I just look in my itunes library then transfer them to a usb stick then upload them to the HDD. It will recognize the track titles and the artist you only have to but in the album details.The ipod dock is great so if there are a number of persons in your house who have all got different tastes in music this system ticks all the boxes. I have had a problem importing album information from Gracenote through my USB stick. So I will always download my new Cds to itunes then transfer to the HDD via USB stick. The system is not as user friendly as the ipod you cannot play all tracks from one artist or look for genres. But all things considered a good system and well worth the money. Ignore the 1 star I gave it 4 stars.
Super piece of kit for not alot of money... December 15, 2008 7 out of 15 found this review helpful
I opted for EH35HD after doing as most people do and browsing the high street, having a go on a few different units then reading lots of online reviews. Many online reviews bleat on for ages about slow firmware, difficulty in playing complete albums in sequence, poor DAB reception and poor music to HDD transfer speed.
I find that the HDD player works fine - you can play an album, shuffle albums, shuffle entire HDD. Ipod dock (included) also works faultlessly as you would expect, so to the CD, USB memory connection.
One great feature, especially for new CDs with track listing not contained ith the on-board database, is the function to plug in your USB memory and transfer data to your PC which automatically, searches the online Gracenote database. Then simply, plug it back into the unit and everything updated. Very useful.
Yes, it does take a while to rip a CD (3-5 mins on average), but then again once its done thats it. You need never put the CD in the player again, so its really no life altering hardship, is it???
Yes, it can take the unit several seconds to initially boot up to begin with. BUT. If this really is THAT much of a concern, you need to be out skydiving/saving the world/whatever instead of wasting valuble seconds listening to music! ;-)
No, its doesn't have zillions of options and settings like its big brother to fiddle with, but it sounds great, so who cares and this is 300 cheaper.
The DAB reception is perfectly fine in my area and works well with the included 'poor' aerial...
At the end of the day, you are paying not alot for a system that, sounds great (no Wembly Stadium but also not as EXPENSIVE!!!), looks great and does everything that its supposed to really well.
Ah, and you can hide/burn/jump on ALL those nasty,cluttering,shelf bowing CDs away aswell - easily worth it for that alone!!!!!
All in all, very glad I bought this and wish I'd got it sooner!
Very good sound, easy to set-up and use December 5, 2008 2 out of 7 found this review helpful
Most has been said already.
Very easy to set-up and use, very good sound. I like it. Uploading CD-ROMs is easy peasy. Gave us bucket loads of new space -Huzzah!!!
Note: the 'compatible' USB drives in the instructions do not actually exist. Sony can't find them (30 minute phone-call) and the web-site does not actually submit any queries.
I reckon that any good quality USB stick will work, but Sony would like you to buy theirs.
Neat December 3, 2008 3 out of 9 found this review helpful
I found this piece of kit to be very good overall. I agree with the niggles that other reviewers mention,it is a little slow to load your music on to the hard drive, especially if you have a lot of CDs,the fastest method is memory stick from your computer but, of course you would have to have your music on your computer already. I just did a few CDs a day and have managed to get most of them on ok. As previously mentioned ,there is no space indicator on the hard drive but its quite a decent size and won't come into it for many people.
The niggles are small and only in the initial loading to the hard drive.
The DAB and FM radio works fine even with the supplied slim wire antennas If I had a chance to change it, I wouldn't as it's a decent unit.
Great system, but a bit of a nuissance to get all your music on November 27, 2008 22 out of 22 found this review helpful
Sony NAS-EH35HD Giga Juke Hi-Fi system Pros:
Great sound. I'm sure hifi-snobs will beg to differ, but if you're willing to listen to MP3s anyway than I guess you won't fall into that category.
Great looks - although finger prints show up easily on the shiny finish.
The system comes with a free TDM-IP10 Digital Media Port, to hook up your iPod. I've sold mine off on Amazon marketplace, which knocked 25 quid off the purchase price. (I've also noticed that sneaky Amazon has raised the price now ahead of the VAT cut).
Cons:
Yes it takes ages to upload songs onto the HDD. It is also preferable to do this with a usb stick rather than from the CD as this means it will be done in the bitrate that you've saved the file. Recording from CD the bitrate is set at 128kb, which in my opinion is a too low quality.
Getting the names right. Once it's on the HDD it does not allow you to change a band's name to one that already exists on the HDD. I also have to autotag all my MP3 tracks to make sure they appear right on the HDD.
There's no function that shows you how much space is left on the HDD.
The time it takes to start up the system (reading the HDD) takes longer the more music you upload.
You can change the display view, but everytime you switch it on it will revert back to the default display.
Although it sounds like there's a lot of cons, once you've uploaded most of your music these gripes will disappear. I decided to buy this system as I don't listen to my iPod anymore and was sick of continuously hooking it up to an inferior sounding speaker dock or listening on laptop speakers.
