Strengths:
Looks great!!!

Weaknesses:
Overheating

Summary:
I hate this CD player. The d@mn thing overheats after like 20 min of playing during the summer. Its ridiculous!!! It is still under warranty so I plan to send it back to them to see if maybe I got a lemon. I will write another review after I get it back.

Alpine = best not great on looks but always the best

Strengths:
I really like it's looks. This is one of the better head uinits I have worked with. For the price it's a great deal. Like the control I have over subs and components.

Weaknesses:
The only thing I don't like is that you can't put in the name of the cd's. That isn't a big weakness.

Summary:
I would recommend this cd player for recreational listeners. It's good for competition, but it isn't by any means the best. I think for the price, it's the best on the market.

jvc, pioneer. I thought the pioneer was reliable but didn't have near as good of looks.
