A great value

12 Helpfuls 13 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Great value for a solid MP3/WMA player
Cons Display could have more characters (for clock)
Recommended it? Yes

I had this unit put in my brother-in-law's van as a thank you as he loaned the vehicle to us for a 2700 mile trip. During the 10 days of use with this stereo, I found it worked very well.

I only burned one CD-R to take on the trip and it was sure nice having something like 10 hours of... Read full review »

great buy if you have lots of mp3s

Pros price, compatibility, mp3 AND wmv playback, numerous display options
Cons cheap remote
Recommended it? Yes

I can't tell you enough how much I love this thing! I've had for about 6 months now, and I use it every day. I was looking for a car CD player that would play MP3 CD's because all of my music is archived on CD-R discs. I didn't want to waste CDs on short audio discs and I definitely didn't like the...

Pros Inexpensive, all the right features, clean overall design
Cons display is too bright at night.
Recommended it? Yes

I bought this model because it has a relatively clean, uncomplicated design and because it plays mp3s (why anyone would make a car CD stereo without mp3 capability in this day and age is beyond me). The fact that it will play mp3s in random mode sealed the deal for me. And the price was reasonable... Read full review »

Awesome Functionality at a Great Price but Downright Distracting

Pros MP3/WMA playback, Price, Quality
Cons Horribly Bright Display, confusing remote
Recommended it? Yes

I bought this stereo from Crutchfield after reading the reviews on epinions about it. I noticed that it had overall good ratings and as I had limited funds available and wanted a full function MP3/CD player for my car, I did not hesitate to order this model.

When it arrived, I opened the... Read full review »

Pros Cheap, never skips, MOSFET 25watts RMS and 50 watts max X 4 channnels.
Cons No graphic EQ built in, no ability to change face colors.
Recommended it? Yes

About a year ago I took a trip to TWEETER ETC and brought a MP3 cd with me. I tried the cd on about a half dozen MP3 units and found that they all took a long time and their functionality was poor...except the highest end Kenwood Execelon. There weren't any Panasonics to test though. However that... Read full review »

Pros Almost everything is done right with this unit, except for ONE BIG PROBLEM.
Cons IRRITATING POPPING SOUND in the background when playing any disc other than a...
Recommended it? No

I bought a new car a few weeks ago and sold my 10-disc changer with the old car. As I'm not used to having less than 10 discs available to me at any given time, I decided to pick up this unit, rip all my CDs to MP3 and put my original CDs back into the cases (most of them haven't seen their cases...

Pros Sounds great. Easy to use.
Cons Skips way too easy. Display is horribly bright.
Recommended it? No

I don't think the other reviewers listened to normal cds before writing there reviews. MP3 cds play great. But if you play a normal cd with any scratches on it it'll skip. I thought maybe mine was just defective but I tried another and same problem. I do NOT recommend. I'm returning mine to... Read full review »

It died

bybubbanem Nov 25, 2007

Pros Inexpensive, lot of features
Cons Very bright display - not dimmable.
Recommended it? No

After 52 months, the unit blew its onboard 15 Amp fuse. Replacing the fuse resulted in immediate blowing of the new fuse (twice). I partially disassembled the unit and found no obvious shorts.

:-(

I'll try another brand next time Read full review »
