Strengths: Multiple Color display, many nice options and features, CD play resumes where it left off if you turn it off then back on, great for audiobooks.
Weaknesses: Interface is Inconsistant. Left menu is accessed by pressing knob IN, right menu is accessed by pressing tiny menu button. LOUD feature should have been in left menu. Panel is too BRIGHT!
Summary: Even when dimmed, the panel is far too bright in any color but RED. It would also have been nice if the button colors changed to match the panel colors but they're always red... which is fine being how you can't use the thing at night unless the panel is also red.
Should have had a way to turn off the unit. Pressing OFF puts it into DEMO mode which is fairly annoying as it cycles through the colors on the display in BRIGHT mode.
It also seems that if you have a CDR with too many audio files on it, the MP70 will only play the music/audio for the first few dozen files. All files after that appear to be "blank" and you hear no sound for them though in a PC you can confirm that indeed, all files are audio files and have sounds. I've tried contacting Sony about this but haven't received a response yet. This is annoying when I want to make an audiobook into a series of MP3's to listen to in the car without changing CD's all the time. One CD has about 10 "chapters" each with 20 or so files. It will only play the first 6 chapters. At chapter 7 all MP3's appear blank.
Small price to pay for a very nice receiver... though a little more sensitivity in the low-end volume control would be nice as well. ;)
