Strengths:
Quality

Weaknesses:
After 3 years of beating it like a red-headed step child, ONCE IN A BLUE MOON, you have to close the face panel twice to get it to work. VERY RARE, and is expected in my opinion

Summary:
This unit is simple, but gets the job done. Despite its age, people mistake it for a new head, features such as auto scan, IN DASH sub control and just overall high quality put others like Pioneer, Alpine to shame ESPECIALLY considering the price

Strengths:
the colors man........the colors........
i also like the fact that it has front/back/sub preamp outputs. and the changer controls are good, if you are into that kind of thing.

Weaknesses:
skips easily

Summary:
i paid $190 for mine (i am really good friends with a stereo shop owner :D). i love it, i had wanted one since they came out with this style. i finally got mine in october. i like the fact that i can turn the subwoofers volume up and down right from the indash. and the att (or as i call it, the cop button) comes in handy whenever you see a cop coming. overall this cd player is really good and you can get them at a good price.
