jpoll33 from TX Member Since: Jul 2004 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 10 Days	I got this player to replace my old Kenwood deck t ... Strengths: Great bang for the buck. Plays MP3s on CD-RW. Weaknesses: Silver in my otherwise black dash! Summary: I got this player to replace my old Kenwood deck that I used for years before it finally gave out. I've been impressed w/ Kendwood in the past. Wanted a deck that played MP3s but did not need all the fancy features. 69% of People (20/29) found this review helpful.

teego from NC Member Since: Dec 2005 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 20 Days	Great CD / MP3 Player Strengths: Easy to install into a Honda Civic. Pretty design, relatively easy to use, great clarity Best car stereo I have ever owned. Weaknesses: Flashy silver and fancy display might be an invite for theft Cryptic, confusing manual, equalizer has limited functionality Summary: I would recommend this. It is straighforward to install (at least for my Honda, which is a Japanese car and has the same wire colour coding). I like the flashy pink and blue lights when it comes on. Others might find it tacky. The MP3 tags work better than I had hoped. I managed to drive 12 hours straight from NC to Detroit listening to 1 mp3 cd that entire time. Only had an issue with 1 song. The mp3 encoding specifications are included in the manual so you can rip your mp3s accordingly. The removable faceplate is handy, and necessary as this player is quite silver and showy and really stands out in the car. The big "KENWOOD" label screams steal me. A bit confusing are the RCA jacks on the back. On the box, it says they are Aux RCA stereo input. But elsewhere I read they are outputs. I haven't tried hooking them up yet to something to try them out. The manual is no help here. The manual grammar badly is written. And the sound. I looooove the sound. Great sound. Makes me tingle with joy. 67% of People (6/9) found this review helpful. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you? Report this as inappropriate. There are no comments for this review.

wolfden from VA Member Since: Aug 2005 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 5 Days	Its kenwood Strengths: nice looking XM and SIRIUS Satellite Radio-ready Weaknesses: Auxiliary Input in the back Summary: This is a great unit with a lot of useful features. The display is easy on the eyes with the two display brightness settings, clear and filled with color. Mp3 compatibale and Auxiliary Input let you get ride of those CDs. Hope it can last as long as my Pineer one. 67% of People (6/9) found this review helpful. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you? Report this as inappropriate.

Wilsonsgirl Member Since: Mar 2006 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 2 Months	Please Help Me Strengths: It plays MP3's. I can put well over 100 songs on one cd and leave all my cd's at home.Less space in my car. Weaknesses: Control Buttons are to small Summary: I bought the radio from the local flea market in my area but it's on the DEMO mode which means it gives the features that the radio has and I can't get it off. The radio came in it's original box but with no manual. I can't seem to get it off the demo mode can anyone help me with this please! 50% of People (1/2) found this review helpful.
