Reviews of the Sony XAV-W1
-
CNET Review
The Good: The Sony XAV-W1 features a crisp, wide-screen display, a broad range of media-playback capabilities, and a user-friendly selection interface.
The Bad: The absence of a front-mounted auxiliary input jack or USB port restricts the ability of drivers to take their generic MP3 players on the road.
The Bottom Line: The Sony XAV-W1 is a stylish new entrant into the aftermarket in-car audiovisual market. Its SACD-playback ability will interest serious audiophiles, while its stunning display and intuitive media-selection interface will attract anyone looking for a user-friendly in-car media player.
