Pros: Great looks for the prices Cons: Welcome to skip city
I had this deck a while ago. It was the coolest deck I seen while looking in my price range. Put it my car; work O.K. for a short time. This deck started to skip on the smallest bumps on the street. God forbid when I hit a good bump or pot hole, this ...
Pros: Nice display, big numbers, easy volume control, line input. Cons: No anti-shock, fixed faceplate.
I bought this CD player from Best Buy for about $100. It looked good and had good sound. Installation was easy and did not require more wiring than that provided by the box. I liked it's display from the very beginning, and the sound was good even...
Pros: - Plays CDRW's
- Input for external player (MP3, etc.) Cons: - Buttons not easy to use
- Not shielded well so interference from cell phone
While this stereo is priced well (usually $99), you do get what you pay for. The buttons are not easy to use by touch only. To get from FM radio to play a cd you must push the source button 5 times! There should be a "play" button to go straight from...
Average cd player. It's lasted 4 years so far. by sage_patrynxx ,Aug 22 '05
Pros: Long lasting and reliable. Plays CDRW discs. Has AUX jack. Cons: Doesn't play mp3's.
Of course as I say this, it would seem no one wants to install this model. So if your car dies with this stereo in it. It might be useful just to leave it. As for everything else the reviewers said about the model. It takes a darn good pot hole to get this player to skip.
5-23-2006- Was going to add, plays cd-r's (duh) and not so duh also plays CD-RW's. Not many did at the time. It also has an aux in. Which I've read most stereo's nowadays don't have. So except through some FM connector, there's no way to hook your IPOD into the current stereo's. So I guess you could say, until it dies.. it's future proof. There is one irritation and it's a small one. The does somehow gets inside the display area. Nothing too bad. But I would have thought that'd be sealed bettere.
The headache noawadays is that Sony killed the brand via the outlandish desktop stereo designs. Aiwa went from being better than Sony to being worse in design than Sony. So of course finding a harness to hook it up with a car.... is a witch to find. :(
