2004 CQ-C8400U

Summary:
So far, this reciever has been nothing but great. I have used only Pioneer's for the longest time and this is a VAST improvement. The amplifier built into this unit is pretty impressive. I am getting amps soon and won't be using the built in one, but they power the speakers with no distortion. Anyway, the features and setting options in this deck are also excellent. Overall, after using this deck for several hours I believe it is better than any or the Pioneer's (I have used most of the models over the last 8 years). Panasonic is the new leader in price/performance ratio as far as this reviewer is concerned. Buy this deck, for $200 you won't be dissapointed.

Strengths:
+ Excellent Built-In Amplifier + Beautiful Display (For a $200 Deck) + 5V Preouts for F/R/SW + Auxiliary Input

Weaknesses:
- Has some trouble with dirty MP3 discs - Runs very hot when turned up
