In Detail

Plays all your music, wherever you have it

It’s home to all your best artists and bands. A compact audio system that’s ready for your entire music collection. Play CDs or connect up your MP3 player, smartphone, laptop, tablet or memory card using the USB and audio-in ports. Want to listen to the radio? There’s a full spread of popular FM stations plus a huge choice of high quality DAB+ stations on the CMTS20B. You can also connect a Bluetooth adaptor to the USB input and enjoy your music wirelessly through Bluetooth headphones.

Hear every note loud and clear

Why put up with tinny tones and vague vocals? Despite its size, this system reproduces every note of your favourite CD and MP3 music with a rich, precise sound. The built-in amp provides up to 10W of audio power so you can hear everything clearly from two compact speakers. Choose from five equaliser sound effects – rock, pop, jazz, classic or flat. Fine tune your sound and be entertained when you get your friends round or when you’re just hanging around the house.

Feel more of a bass kick

Club, rap, classic funk, dubstep. Some music demands a bit more grunt. Activate the Bass Boost function and bring out deep thumping beats and driving basslines. Bass Boost increases the volume of low end frequencies so you enjoy a more resonant, full-bodied sound which is perfect for parties.

Fits in small rooms and tight spaces

Bedrooms, kitchens, studies. They all need music because you spend a lot of time there but sometimes space is a bit tight. That’s when you’ll want an audio system that’s small and space-conscious. This sleek system will fit on a bedside table, next to the fridge or on a desk. It’s just 170mm wide and 210mm deep with compact speakers that can be removed and positioned away from the main unit. Its low height also makes it easy to fit under shelves or bookcases. And it looks good too in silver and black with a clean, uncluttered fascia.

Charges your smartphone

Smartphone or digital music player run out of power? Simply connect them to the system using a USB cable to charge them up. You have full access to the phone or music player during charging so you can take calls and play favourite tracks while you’re cooking or relaxing in the study.

Control with simple touches

You won’t find banks of blinking lights and rows of fiddly knobs littered across the front of this system. It has a refreshingly simple design with just an on/off button, USB port and large round volume dial on the fascia. There’s a nice clear display allowing you to see essential information such as track number and volume level. You also have the convenience of a handy remote commander for changing tracks or adjusting volume without leaving the comfort of your armchair.

Perfect for my needs, Read full review to get a Deal Saver Tip "IMO"
I was looking for a Micro Hi-Fi system that had all the features but came in a small package and reading some of the reviews bad and good I decided to give this system a go. For the first time, I looked into the Amazon Warehouse to see if I could pick up a deal and boy did I get one. I didnt want to pay full price as reading from some of the reviews and from other sites, a small portion of people returned the product because of the lack of DAB signals in there areas, hence some were in new condition. So I took a chance and based my purchase on this from the returns warehouse on Amazon. The first thing I did before ordering was to look at the DAB stations in my area and there way quite a few. So I went ahead and ordered the unit at a lower price than normal i.e "Used but only slight damage to the box". Boy was I glad, there wasnt even damage to the box and the united was in PERFECT condition. Now this might not apply to all units sold, this is just my case. Instead of paying £106.94, I got mine for £83.79. Needless to say I was over the moon and the DAB worked a treat and some as the site I checked for DAB stations had not been updated for 3 years, therefore I had even more stations than I expected. The unit itself surprised me as to how small yet how good it performed, the speakers had more bass/treble than I expected, the USB port meant I could play my favorite music downloaded from my computer to a flash drive. the unit is very easy to work and even wakes you up with your favorite radio station as you can set the times, stations to do this. All in all Im very pleased with it and glad I made the purchase. 10/10

    5.0 out of 5 stars A stylish and compact unit - go for the DAB option.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 December 2014

    I was looking for compact audio system as over the years we'd abandoned our HIFI units for live streaming from our mobiles and tablets. I wanted something for the ktichen where I could just shove in a CD or listen to the radio.

    The DAB radio works pretty well although reception will depend on factors in your local area. The speaker wires are short and with their own connectors , something which you find on a lot of lower priced audio systems. This is designed as a compact system though, and does look at its best with the speakers next to it.

    I was impressed with the sound from this thing and there are a few options available to tweak it to your liking such as a bass boost and sound equalizer. The remote works well and the USB port is a bonus although it designed to work with flash drives and officially supports just 2 Walkman branded MP3 players - nothing else. I've had no joy connecting it to my Sony Z3 apart from using it as a charger!

    Be wary of this as some retailers suggest you can connect virtually any USB device to the system to play your digitally stored music. There is, though, a 3.5mm AUX input on the back.

    It will play CD-R and CD-RW discs (MP3 and WMA) but not a multi-session disc.

    Very stylish and its looks suggest a higher price point. Go for the DAB option as for the difference in cost you get a much better experience from the radio.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Quality Sounds From Compact Unit
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 January 2016
    Verified Purchase
    This is a lovely music system brought so I could enjoy music inside my study. The study measures approximately 12 foot by 12 foot so a big and loud system was not needed. I chose this model because its Sony and have not been disappointed by my choice yet.

    1) The Good

    It is a small compact design,

    DAB radio,

    USB port to the front,

    Good sound (for the size),

    Good build quality,

    Loud enough for small rooms

    2) The Bad

    Speaker cables are too short ,

    Bass could be deeper,

    No audio out,

    You need both remote control and controls on the amp / cd / radio unit to operate all possible functions,

    Time taken to start up compact discs / tune radio,

    3) The Ugly

    No headphone socket,

    No batteries for remote control included,

    Overall, I am very impressed and have used just about every day since it arrived. It arrived very quickly via Amazon Prime and was easy to set up and start using. For the money it is good quality and good value.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Good for playing CDs and music from USB/Portable devices, but not for radio.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 January 2016

    If you want a good mini hifi system for playing CDs and connecting your USB stick or portable device to, this is excellent. Very good sound, good bass.

    Only bad point about this, the FM and DAB reception is very poor (to the point where I could barely pick the local FM station up 5 miles away while this stereo was in my kitchen. Could not pick ANY DAB stations up at all either). Whether my one is faulty, I don't know. The signal improved when I took it into the lounge, but not by much.

    On other systems the same as this, I've seen an antenna socket where you can connect an external aerial, but on this one, it's just a wire that comes out the back (which both I and the local TV/Radio aerial supplier found very odd for a mini system with DAB). So I've cut said wire down, soldered it to some coax cable and on the other end is an external FM/DAB dual band aerial I put on the side of the house. This has improved the reception LOTS, but it still isn't 100% perfect (can still hear a little bit of hiss with the FM reception) (DAB stations sound all garbled; struggling for signal).

    But otherwise, good :)

    5.0 out of 5 stars Pretty punchy little box of tricks for the non-audiophile who needs a broad range of inputs/functions.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 June 2016

    This "Hi-Fi" unit is perfect for a person who is not too concerned with audio quality. That is to say; it's not BAD just very slight (would be the kind phrase)! I have a love of all things truly Hi-Fi and drive my wife mad with the fact that every room has floor standing speakers and separates. I bought this unit for the one room (master bedroom) that is "hers". She is well made up with it and loves the functionality. Rather than go over ground that others have already done, here is my review:

    The Good = DAB, and a very good one at that - 2nd generation (means you can get newly broadcast channels like Absolute 80's "New") reception is no problem, even without the aerial mounted & just hanging down at the back. CD performance is fine, with player handling MP3 CD's and audio CD's alike. A nice touch it that it continues to play from the exact point it stopped last time, regardless. It has a 3.5mm "Standard" jack input for external source such as laptop/PC/MP3/Ipod/Iphone/Ipad, which actually adds quite a bit in terms of functionality. Main unit electronics seem pretty solid to be fair. DAB radio sound quality is very satisfactory (once speaker upgraded-see below).

    The Bad = The speakers are terrible...this unit replaces her previous Sony (grey one from 6 years ago-still had a tape deck, but one thing I will say for it - it had 2 way speakers, which to be fair were very adequate), these units are one-way 3.5" driver unit and sound awful!! I truly mean that...even she complained that there was no bass or definition in the music and trust me when I say that is not something she is normally ever likely to come out with, unless things are really bad! I have replaced them with an old pair of KEF Coda 7's I have knocking about and it completely re-invents this little thing. Now there is actually a semblance of bass, mid-range & treble in the music. Performance from Audio CD & DAB is strongest (unsurprisingly).

    Overall = If you are looking for a functional, small audio solution where space is a premium, then look no further. Packed with features and sporting an aux stage for line level inputs (no gain or volume adjustment on the unit, so that needs to be handled on the "sending" end). I would suggest you upgrade the speaker package as I did, but if you are truly not bothered you may find the standard units satisfactory...just don't say I didn't warn you ;)
