Pros: Great display graphics, Powerfull 3 preamp outputs, built in crossover
Cons: hard to see display in bright sun
The Bottom Line: If you want total control over your system don't let the high price of this unit turn you away, it's worth it. Just imagine it in your dash..yea thought so.

| xtwizx's Full Review: Alpine Car Stereo CDA-7875 Camcorder |
As far as head units go, I love alpines. And this model has everything you could want in a head unit except mp3 playback. One of the first thing I noticed is it's ability to read cd text and scroll it just like winamp! Of course it only works with the CD's I burn on my computer but that's the only CD's that go in my car. It can display the CD title or the song artist and song name. Nice little perk. That answers your question if your wondering about this unit playing CD-R's (not CD-RW's though) You have complete control over the sound of your system with a lowpass and highpass filter that you can set in hertz. This is a great head unit for bassheads you have total control over your bass also with bass engine, bass center frequency control, bass curve, subwoofer phase selector. It does have 3 pre amp out puts one for your subs, your fronts and your rears, with subwoofer level control. You may think this head unit is 60 watts x 4, realistically your lucky to be getting 25 x 4. This receiver is also xm digital radio ready so you can subscribe to music channels like you do satellite TV channels, This technology hasn't been launched yet but is on it's way. Overall A very nice head unit with a wireless remote!
My one gripe:
During the day time I can not see the display on this unit unless i sit up on top of the steering wheel, so the angle option is worthless to me. Even at night it's hard to see, at least in my car. (2001 civic)
