I have got my MHC v77DW hooked up to a Shake33 and it acts as a subwoofer because the bass is outstanding.
The MHC v77DW has a max output of 1550 watts, I have not turned the volume up to max yet as even on a low volume setting it becomes very loud, this is due to the RMS feature. The system can be hooked up the internet via wifi and you can play songs directly from Google, which is quite good if you do not have many CD's.
If you have a phone with Bluetooth, you can link the system up via bluetooth and play songs directly through the MHC v77DW.
There are varied sound files so that you can enhance and improve the music you play from a variety of sources.
The CD player wil also play DVD movies, as the connectivity on the system allows for a HDMI link up to your TV, so you do not need a surround sound DVD player. Fortunately for me I have two surround sound systems (both SONY) hooked up to SONY televisions.
The MHC v77DW will not dissapoint and there is very little for me to criticise - the only thing I am not keen on is the party lighting through the LEDs but then this is a part machine. I do not like parties and have no need for such a feature- but for those who do like parties and gatherings alike I am sure you will like the light display.
Hope this review was helpful- the MHC v77DW has a great set of features. Buy today and experience a fantastic SONY product!
