 Best Sony Boombox In A Long Time - With A Few Minuses Dec 30, 2007
By A. Siew
This is by far one of the best sounding CFD-G series boombox from Sony to date. With all those years experimenting with different subwoofer sizes and enclosure volume and bass reflex port lengths, Sony has finally found the right equation in the 700CP. To call this machine a boombox may be a bit of an insult, given the kind of sound it can deliver with its enormous speaker system and a powerful bi-amplifier.
The CFD-G700CP is huge. This is a boombox that requires so much table space it makes your Micro Hi-Fi (if you have one) look really small. I'm sure some will get turned off by its loud and aggresive look, but the teenagers and those young at heart will love it. Especially the sound.
The 700CP can pump out so much bass, if you have not seen the unit yourself, you'd be wondering if you're listening to the bass sounds from a mid-sized bookshelf Hi-Fi. Of course, all that bass is worth nothing if the system can only deliver loud punchy bass with muffled mids and highs. No. The 700CP delivers everything from somewhere around 80Hz all the way to 16KHz, all in great clarity thanks to its Bi-Amplifier. The two full range speakers and metal tweeters are driven by a stereo amplifier used primarily to deliver mids and highs, and the 13cm subwoofer is pumping air through the front dual bass-reflex ports using a dedicated bass amplifier, keeping the mids and highs completely uninterrupted.
Even at high volume, the sound from the subwoofer remains solid and deep, and if you think there is just way too much bass, the subwoofer has two level settings for you to keep all that rumbling under control. You can also turn the bass amplifier off completely to listen exclusively to the sounds from the mid-high speakers.
The impressive sound lies in the fact that each speakers (the two mid-highs and the woofer) are housed in independently sealed sound chambers within the boombox. Sony has done alot of homework over the years in coming up with the best way to make boomboxes sound good, and all that research was thrown into the CFD-G700CP.
The line-in port is neatly tucked away at the lower right hand side of the system with a built-in line in plug and also a jack, so you can either connect a portable music player directly to the device using the built-in line in plug (3.5mm stereo plug) or connect anything else to the device using a cable with a 3.5mm stereo plug on one end.
This boombox is of course missing a back-lit LCD, which is strange considering there was an earlier generation G series model (G55 I think) that came with a red LED backlighting. Also, the cassette deck is a single-direction deck, so if you're still playing alot of cassette tapes, you'll be a little disappointed by the lack of the auto-reverse feature still found on most mid-range to high-end Micro Hi-Fis. The device also supports MP3 playback as well, but does not support Sony's proprietary Atrac3 files.
Hear it to believe it. This machine trumps Sony's CMT-EH10, CMT-NEZ33, CMT-NEZ55, CMT-EH15, CMT-EH20 plus alot of those self-proclaimed micro hi-fi systems out there. You won't be dissapointed. And to top it off, it runs on 8 D-size batteries (even the cheap Manganese ones) when you can't find an AC outlet or when there's a power outage.
The downside to this monstrous boombox is its weight and of course its size. The boombox comes with a thick and robust handle, simply because the weight of the machine is enough to make it a great dumbbell. The machine shapes like a jetpack lied down, and the handle folds up right in the middle of it. Carrying the machine will be quite a chore and you may end up bumping the thing all over the place.
If you're looking for a music system that plays tapes and CDs and runs on cheap batteries and doesn't sound like a tin can, you can't go wrong with the CFD-G700CP, as long as you can live with the weight and the size of it.

Ready for takeoff Jun 03, 2008
By P. Brodersen
Well, it arrived yesterday, in the original packaging with the tape sagging, but the internal fitted-cardboard packaging protected the unit just fine. I lugged (that term used purposefully) the box into the kitchen, unboxed it, and set it on the kitchen table. Most of it (the table, I mean.) This unit is HUGE.
It looks ready to take off, or strap it to your back like the rocket pack from the Rocketeer (and it's about that same size). Pictures on the Amazon site give you the breadth but not the depth of the sizing.
Assuming you can handle the size, the main function of the unit - produce quality sound at high volumes - is worth the entry fee. Classical, simple vocal, pop, rock, country - excellent sound and reasonable tone-shaping controls - presets for rock, salsa, flat, and a couple of others do shape the sound a bit. 3 levels for the bass add, tied to the red rim light on the center bass speaker.
Controls are reasonably intuitive, although the station preset button is strangely hidden on the cassette side. The manual is adequate and provided the answer.
Con 1: wish the red light was not tied to the bass add, so it could be turned off. My intended use for this is to show movies outside while camping, and the red light is going to be annoying.
Con 2: I see no reason why the 3.5mm input jack has to be behind a plastic door - requiring you to open it each time to use it or the provided 6" or so pre-attached cable.
Con 3: Size. And LOUD appearance. Think Flash Gordon and you'll be close.
Pros: great sound, clear controls, good operation, features do what you expect.
Summary: if you can handle the size and appearance, you'll have a great boombox.

 Big sound! Jul 07, 2007
By C. Altier
"Tippy"
Plenty of power with deep bass. This thing sounds really good -- especially for the price. It is a little on the heavy side at 21 pounds, without batteries. The center has a 5 1/8" subwoofer that's surrounded by a red neon light. Looks very cool and the subwoofer has 2 levels if you don't like your music too bassy. You can plug in just about any sound source you want played through the speakers.
Highly recommended!

Best Out There Oct 29, 2009
By fishing fool
I am a 54 y.o white guy who needed a portable stereo system. I really wanted a JVC Kaboom, you could play a guitar through that 40 watt unit, but apparently JVC does not make those systems anymore. And I do not have an IPhone, which most systems seem to be made for these days. So I went with the Sony. And I gave it 5 stars across the board although I have not used all the features yet. But I can tell already, with a few exceptions, this is a great unit. Let me answer back at some of the negatives I read prior to purchasing this Sony.
1. You have to be close or right in front of the unit for the remote to work. I stepped approx. 12 feet away and used the remote at a side angle with no problems. I honestly would not expect more than that. Are you trying to control it from down the block or what?
2. The readout is tough to see. Yes, it is. And??? I mean, what do you expect? A 15 inch LCD? It is a boombox, right? 30 years ago people were happy to be watching a 19 inch TV! Now everyone has a wall in their home just for the TV! Sure, it could be bigger but just put in a CD and let it play, bro!
3. The sound could be better, especially on audio cassetes. Huh??? You bought something like this to listen to books on tape?? That one struck me as really peculiar. Not to sound critical but why would you buy a system thats 20 watts, has a huge subwoofer, is abot 21 inches across by 15 inches deep, to listen to that type of material? That compares to buying a 60 inch Sony LCD and only having basic cable.
Again, it is a portable boombox. Does it sound as good as my Mirage surround sound system powered by a Yamaha 7.1 AV receiver? Not really. One rear Mirage speaker costs more than double what I paid for this unit so I would not have that expectation either.
4. The red light around the woofer was also complained about. Well, I think it looks cool but to each their own.
Now, if I could have asked for one extra addition.........CD recorder instead of cassette recorder. Still in all, my wife drives an older Expedition with a cassette player so now she can make a few new tapes for her vehicle. Silver lining, right?
Lastly, for those of you who have a sense of humor......I bought this for my my second home, where I live during the week since I work out of town. It sits in a 55 and older retirement community (the price was right!!). My RV is in a small park with older people as well. Older than me, anyway! I think it will be hilarious when I go walking down the street at either of those places carrying this monster with Ice T and Body Count blasting away :) Body Count in da house Mutha.....maybe I should just stop there :)
So I got a nice 20 watt radio, cassette, cd, mp3 player that, albeit large, I can tote around from place to place. And, being that I bought a factory sealed, damaged box, unit in the closeout section, along with signing up for the Amazon credit with a 30 dollar discount on your first purchase, I paid about 10 dollars more than I would have on one of those cheap little Sony boomboxes sold at Sears and WalMart for 49.95...plus tax. At Best Buy they carried the next size down, 505?, asking more than Amazon sells this unit for at full price. If you want a portable boombox, this is it. And Amazon is the place to buy it.

almost perfect!!! Jun 24, 2007
By A. E. Salas
this is the boombox that will blow away the competition. i bought it at a sony outlet for more than amazon has it for. compared to the sony cfdg500 and the other xplod the cfdg505(ugly boombox in my opinion and was the twin to the cfdg500 but was no really an xplod boombox) the cfdg700cp has 20 watts of power and can rattle the windows in my room. this boombox can beat some of the shelf systems out there that i have already listened to and even owned one. this boombox is a beast but really thumps out the added bass that you can add with a cd player that you can very easily add with the built in wire. last years xplod(cfd505) could not really handle added bass. it would say help me. this time sony put a bigger and shiny subwoofer that you can see with the red lights around the subwoofer. also you now have mp3 playback capability.(the only thing missing is the backlight display again. i guess sony leaves it out cuz of lights going around the subwoofer other than that, this is a perfect boombox) oh also if you are listening to a cd or an mp3 cd, if you stop playing the cd, the thing wont remember where you left of. i personally don't like that cuz i want to hear an mp3 cd over several days without having to hear the same songs over and over. but i can live with that cuz i have my sony dne330 walkman cd player easily taking care of my mp3 cd's on clearbass level 2 (can go to clearbass level 3 but that is already too much bass and the boombox can take it without distortion) bottom line if only it had that damn backlight display it would be perfect. but who knows, maybe sony will put it in on next years model.
