Sharp C651H

One of the advantages or disadvantages my ‘Luddite’ of a husband claims, of having young folk around as one gets older. Is being gently coerced (sometimes none too gently) into embracing modern technology. Of being ‘persuaded’ into packing away ones much loved, and played 45’s, and LP’s (they will be worth a fortune one day), the old Ferguson record player, and into replacing them with an up to the minute Mini component System, and CD’s. Which is how I acquired my Sharp CD-PC651H. Now before I list the ‘spec’s’ (note the jargon) I must confess they are meaningless to me. I would not ...  Read the complete review

Don't buy this one, I bought a complete system from Comet which included this Hi Fi, what a mistake. The system consisted of a 28" TV, video, satelite decoder & Hi Fi. The Hi Fi is needed to produce the suround sound. The cassette doors open too easily making dusting a nightmare. The 3 disc changer started to fail after a month, first one disc would not work, then the second went down & within 6 months all three would not work. Comet were very good & had it fixed. Within the next six months the same thing happened again. it was fixed again. Just after the 1 year guarentee ran out, guess what it happened again. Now 18 months after I bought it, ...  Read the complete review

I have had my Sharp System for about 8 months and am very impressed with it. It only cost me £199.99 from Scottish Power, which for a surround sound system is very good. I have mine hooked up to the TV, Video, Sky and Playstation and the sound is unbelievable, I don't think the neighbours think so though.

The thing I use it for most is when I am watching the football as it make it feel like you are actually there. If you are looking for a surround sound system and don't have bags of cash to spend this one is definatly worth a look at. ...  Read the complete review

I have owned my Sharp hi-fi for over a year now. It is the model below this one and is basicly the same. The advantage this system has on others at the same price (arround £230) is that it has Dolby pro-logic sound. This makes it sound way better than any of its competitiors by a mile. The centre and rear sound levels can be adjusted to give you great sourround sound in a small room. The bass is in your face like it should be but tens to sound muffled at high volumes. These things were basicly being given away soon after I bought mine, they were a steal at £150 so count on this model dooing the same. So if you are young and want a hi-fi for your room at ...  Read the complete review
