User reviews Sony FM Music Transmitter, 2008-09-09
I bought this FM Music Transmitter to use it with my Sony Ericsson K790 Cel phone in my car an office stereo, but it doesn't work well. Even though the manual says that it works within 10 meters, it only works at 10 cms. and with a lot of interference in the car and in my office/home stereo I have to place it on the back of the stereo, near the antenna connector. If I knew that it worked so badly I wouldn't have bought it. Works great. Not as pictured., 2008-06-14
The people who say this is a piece of junk and not worth the money have obviously never used an FM transmitter before. First read the instructions. Turn the volume all the way up on your phone and set the equalizer for the normal setting. You'll have to find an FM frequency on your radio that the transmitter works well on, try to find three "white noise" stations in a row and set the transmitter to transmit to the middle station. Next realize that FM transmitters do NOT broadcast CD quality sound but if you mess around with the frequencies and the equalizer on your stereo you can get an acceptable sound that you can live with. I would have given this product 5 stars, but the picture shows a fast port on the transmitter which it does not have. So don't think about being able to use it and charge your battery at the same time. Also, the 10 meter range is not even close. More like right next to the radio which is fine for what I use it for. Overall an excellent product that works well in my car and at work.  Great idea, but lousy performance and power hungry!, 2008-02-08
Like most all the other reviews, surprisingly this product from Sony (made in Sweden) does not perform well at all, period.
Even though I too read the other reviews here before buying, I hoped they were wrong and I went ahead and purchased this item. Don't waste your time.
It does work, but it has to be right near the radio source, but even then it gives you static. On top of that, it uses alot of power from your phone battery. Great idea, but Sony needs to go back to the drawing board on this one. Works, but should be much better, 2008-01-08
Many of the negative comments about the MMR-60 FM Transmitter are valid points. However, understanding its limitations will help to mitigate some of them. Here are some tips to get passable sound.
(1) Place the transmitter in a location as close to the receiver's antenna as possible and with as few obstructions as possible. (2) Choose an unused frequency that is between two other unused frequencies. (3) Turn the volume of the phone all the way up and set the equalizer to flat.
I mainly use mine in the car and the best locations I've found is on the sun visor or propped up in the center console (my antenna is printed on the back window). Keep in mind that orientation also plays a factor in the signal strength, so if the signal is weak, try moving the transmitter around slightly. The sound may not be the best, but if your radio doesn't have an input jack like mine, the options are extremely limited. Do not waste your money!, 2007-12-17
It does not work as advertised. You have to put it literally on/in your receiver to make it work and on top of that the sound quality is horrible!
