1 out of 5 stars ok for the price, doesn't play ipod videos   December 30, 2008
Sebastian Vallejo
It's ok for the price i paid 150 but seems like cheaper stereo, buttons looks cheap, screen have just 2 color when you play something that's not dvd and you could not change images.

The description says that play ipod videos with the cable, and appear on the display the name of the song, the only thing that appears is a blue screen with sound.

Positives
sounds good.
good dvd quality.



1 out of 5 stars DVD Playback failed within 6 months!   December 21, 2008
J. Seaman (California)
I installed this receiver in my toy hauler to replace the cheap factory stereo and to double as a video player. I really enjoy using the iPod interface, but that is where the unit ends its positives.

There are several negatives, but the main 2 I have had are the player can play everything promised except DVDs. It failed to read DVDs after about 6 months. The other issue I have is the menu for the fader. In order to display the fader control, you have to click through several menus. This is rediculous.

This would be a great value and the sound is great, but without DVD playback, the 3.6" screen menus are a joke. I don't recommend this player at all.



2 out of 5 stars Acceptable for the price - seems like a beta test unit.   December 10, 2008
rodo (TX)
Just installed this unit a week or so ago, working fine, good power for the price (about $150). I would not pay any more than 150 for this unit, the MSRP price is a joke.

Positives:
Power

Display quality is good when playing a DVD.

Price (when heavily discounted)


Negatives:

Weakest FM tuning of any receiver I've owned.

I don't really have any use for playing DVD movies in my truck thus the "cool color screen" is virtually worthless (see next point).

Display screen when not playing a DVD is ugly block font blue and white cheap looking display. There is no option to play any video clip or other graphic display when listening to radio, cd, aux in, etc. This is a really basic function of most receivers with a display screen but not this unit!

Buttons sound and feel cheap when you press them.

Flip down face is noisy, sounds like it may have a short life.

When you get to the end of a CD, it just stops. You can't use the track buttons to go forward to track 1 or backward through the tracks. If you want to listen to the CD again, you have to cycle through the source inputs back to CD.
