Cons: -Screen -Button Interface is Horrible
The Bottom Line:
read above
I just purchased this stereo yesterday and I am very happy with it...
Pros
-Sound settings are unbelievable (include mic tunes stereo to your car specifically) plus its a 13 band equalizer!
-good enough internal amp 22 RMS
-screen is okay...
-HAS AUTOMATIC TIME ADJUSTMENT!! OMFG this is amazing! it makes your front speakers sound like they are the subwoofers! It times all the sounds of all your speakers to reach your ears at the same time so they sound more real.... it does this by using the mic, and it actually finds and stores the exact difference in inches or CM between the mic and all the speakers, using some formula that the deck has programmed into it and using pulsing sounds from each individual speaker.
- EXTREMELY fast track-to-track seeking! and the text pops up quick when you change songs
Cons
-screen can be hard to see during the day
-volume knob is horrible compared to any kenwood (especially the kdc-mp922)... its too short, and if you accidentally push it in, it switches sources, instead of just Attunating the sound,(like every other deck in the world)..
- pausing the song requires AT LEAST 3 actions.. push the right wheel 3 times, but only if the last action you did was pause, otherwise you have to push it twice, then SCROLL to pause!!! what a joke! just make a pause button, this is rediculous!
-no ATT button on unit
-takes 1 push, 1 rotation, and another push, and/or about 10 rotations and a few twists of the second knob to get to subwoofer settings! Why don't they make a subwoofer level control knob on the unit? This is a very important thing to me because almost every song requires you to change this because its either too much bass or not enough.
-you can only store 1 video, 1 background animation, and 4 pictures on the deck, when it can obviously can/should hold much more than that.
- only a 4-ish color display... not 256 like everyone else (or sony 32,000 with colors)
Overall
I chose this over the Sony CDX-M9900 even though it had the DVD-capable screen (money was no significance here)... because the songs took forever to play... if you like fast track-to-track mp3/cd skipping, then go with this one, this is literally the fastest one on the market (besides the Jensen MP3510 which really is the fastest ever no joke!) This deck will please many different people with different tastes, because of the auto eq/ta, this deck sounds good with any set of speakers or subs, its just amazing!
