Summary: I've used this player in 3 cars. I have also used numerious players from othe manufacturers. All in all this is a damn good unit. Lots of control, easy to use menus, and best of all Sub control. I like the way it looks in my car, the internal amp is great. Not really anything bad to say.
Strengths: SUB CONTROL....Too much more to write down.
Weaknesses: The menu scrolling buttons. Looks like compass on the right of the unit, do not stand up to the test of time. My head units didnt break but show lots of wear. I have a friend that owns the, at its time flagship, DEH 7200. And one of the buttons literally fell out. Other than that, I can't hate.
Similar Products Used: I've owned a Sony, JVC, and a Rockford Fosgate. Which this creams. I had an Alpine I sold for $$ due to me being broke, but they still stand toe to toe. The Pioneer takes over the Alpine in price thou

Summary: This is a CD player to be reckoned with. its got more features and better sound quality than anything in the price range. once you get used to the menus it is really easy to use. its was the best stereo ive ever had (notice WAS). some decided it would be cool if they broke my window and try and steal everything while i was at work, destroyed the back seat trying to get into the trunk *MDF makes a great barrier.. barrior? anyway, they ripped the back seats apart, and took the entire dash panel with them to take the cd player, leaving the heating and ac unfixable... its such a good thing that insurance companies are there to rip you off, otherwise i would have been able to afford replaceing the stereo instead of paying 120 a month FOR ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. oh well, capitolism sucks. dont think anyone wants to hear me rant and rave about insurance and dirty people (i think they are both the same)
Strengths: Mad power, great list of functions.
Weaknesses: Its such an awsome CD player that i had my window smashed and complete dash stolen so the dirty san#^%@ could steal it. also took my welfare radar detector and 1 dollar family dollar special sunglasses... probably sold at the sp..k market for 50 bucks to some dope
Similar Products Used: Sony Xplode (crap) Clarion... 2 models, both crap. Alpine (now) too complicated

Summary: This cd player is a great value for all of the features that are included with a nice looking display.
Strengths: . It has a clean sound, 3 Loud settings, hi/lo-pass filters, front rear and sub pre-amp, a good RMS.
Weaknesses: Diffucult to tweek the advance sound EQ when driving and the abilty not to eject a cd with the car off, though that is not too major.

Summary: I purchased a demo unit but it had popping sounds when scrolling through the menus for sound adjustments. I received a new one from the factory in 2 days (mailed to the store where i bought it from), so the customer service was impressive. Alas, the damned thing still makes a slight popping sound, mostly when the sub adjustments are used. When the sub crossover function is used, the level is not lost; i like that. The subbass is nice sounding, nice & strong, & using the as good as an analog knob. I like the 2 volt max outputs as well. I dont like the solid-state sound that Pioneers use though. It is better than older cd units made from the company in the past, but I wish that a 7 band eq was built in.
Strengths: Preouts, subout adjustments, cxb3875 remote control is compatable!
Weaknesses: Makes a popping noise when scrolling through menus (especially sub adjustments). Also not suitable for an SQ stereo. Wish that Bass, Sub, Treble & volume was adjustable with an anlog knob to prevent blowing out speakers.
Similar Products Used: Compares to alpine etc. Overshadows JVC, Aiwa, & Some Sonys.

Summary: This is a great CD Deck because it has so many features though sometimes it gets confusing. It is great if you want to hook up alot of subs to it (6). I guess it has a nice little alarm on it though i havent got it hooked up yet. Overall if you awnt a good deck that has alot of features for pretty cheap i would get this one.
Strengths: Lots of Features so you can adjust it to just the way you want to hear it.
Weaknesses: nothing
