"Internet connection" #

From this together with the prefix "NAS" and your comment that a computer can be "plugged in", are we to infer that it has a network port?

If so, what speed, 10/100 or Gigabit?

Is it visible on the network as a NAS device?

Can it access other machines or NAS devices on the network?

I checked the web page you linked to, but that doesn't have much info. It even states that there's no recording timer, only a playback sleep timer.

80GB HDD - but #

Nice to have the ol' mp3's on the HiFi - but wouldn't it be better if they just added Samba share support to the machine so you can add it to your network and enjoy the mp3's stored on the PC or visa versa, instead of having to duplciate what you have stored other multiple devices (if you had a walkman/Zen aswell).

Bluetooth would be good as well #

The ability to connect a bluetooth keyboard for navigating the menus would also be useful

The user manual is available for download from the sony support site here;

Looks like a nice unit. It does support network, timer record from DAB, and functions as a DLNA client for playback from DLNA compliant servers.
