dark display, wouldn't buy again

byborat Oct 8, 2004
11 Helpfuls 12 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 3 Comments
Pros good sound, lots of chrome and buttons you MAY want
Cons dim display, bad ergonomics, not-so-good radio reception
Recommended it? No

I went with this because of the great price, $221 from a non-authorized online dealer, and because it's one of a few decks that has time delay - a function that I really wanted, plus it is "XM ready" - which it's really NOT - quite yet. Installed it in my 97 Accord, hooked to a Soundstream VGA... Read full review »

Best deck I've ever had

10 Helpfuls 11 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 1 Comment
Pros Simple display, sound quality/control, versatility, remote, HPF/LPF built in
Cons Too complex for the simple minded.
Recommended it? Yes

I bought this deck to replace an old school Alpine Cassette deck (TDM???) and it's made a whole world of difference. I wanted an MP3/CD receiver with more sound control and I got all I asked for.

The Display: The display on my old Alpine completely blacked. I wasn't expecting anything... Read full review »

Wow, simply amazing (and complicated)

Pros Lots of options, cool design, ALPINE!
Cons Can be complicated to those who have no experience.
Recommended it? Yes

So, here's the story. I bought a Pioneer 4600MP first, didn't like it, was missing a lot of features I wanted (sub control, quality remote, equalizer adjustment). Well, lucky for me I decided to change brands to Alpine. I asked the salesman at the audio store which brand is their best seller, and... Read full review »

Dark display, Tuner problems

Pros Good CD quality
Cons Too many, read the review, bad Alpine warranty policy
Recommended it? No

Player is new for 2004. I have it for 1.5 months.
1. First thing I've noticed when I tried it in the car was how dark the display is. It is so bad that it is almost impossible to see anything at the day light. There is no brightness or contrast adjustment. Second problem with the display is... Read full review »

///////ALPINE = Best Bang for the Buck

byezrazxz May 26, 2005
6 Helpfuls 7 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Great Sound Quality, Versatile Sound-shaping Features
Cons NONE WHATSOEVER
Recommended it? Yes

First things first: The Display would suck depending on what car you put it in. My Protege has the radio right under the A/C vents, so even at high noon the display is only a few degrees off eye level (and I'm not slouching in my seat).

I was actually choosing between this and the Pioneer... Read full review »

Buyer beware

Pros Nice sound
Cons Terrible display
Recommended it? No

This CD player has a horrible display. I have loved my previous 3 Alpines and was so disappointed that they would sell any deck with such a dim display. It's adequate at night, barely visible on a cloudy day, and invisible in the sun. The display looks so nice in the store...but you're not going to... Read full review »

Decent head unit

byddcyr40 May 30, 2006
1 Helpfuls 2 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Great sound quality and looks
Cons Hard to run, need manual for EQ
Recommended it? Yes

This head unit I bought from Crutchfield because it was on sale $80 off, I'm assuming because of an older model. I've had it for almost a year now in my Passat and it has served me very well. It is definately complicated to try to do anything in the EQ other than put on preset EQ's. I really like... Read full review »
