Panasonic CQ-VD6505U In-Dash Double-DIN 6.5-Inch Widescreen Color LCD Monitor/DVD Receiver Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this about a year and a half ago in Tennessee. Shortly after, I moved to Phoenix, AZ. After 2 weeks in the AZ summer, the screen started shaking. The hotter it got, the less I could make out what was on the screen. Eventually, the screen was just a blur. Panasonic wanted me to remove the system, wires and remote included, and send it to some place in Nevada to get worked on. I would then be without a unit for a couple months and would get a new one or my repaired one back.
The new 7" CA-VDC300U should fix this issue. Apparently they didn't fully test the unit to every environment it would be used. It's great for the mid west where it doesn't get much hotter than 80's.
Additionally, I would like a unit with a more interesting user interface. This looks worse than a program I made in C++ in junior high.

Dual XDMR6850 CD/MP3 Receiver with MP control Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Powerfull sound with lots of bass. Attractive, but the neon blue lights are alittle too agressive and bright for my taste. Easy to navigate. Separate bass, treble, fader, balance, loud controls, but cannot modify the band widths. Has 5 different equalizer modes. Recommended!

Dual MXDM70 AM/FM/CD/MP3/WMA Weather Receiver Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this marine stereo for my Jeep, since in the past stereos have sub-come to rain or even a little dew settling on the interior. Overall I like it. I gave it four starts because it seems to skip a little more often than I'd like. However in a Jeep, you feel every gum wrapper and cigarette butt in the road as it is, so I can live with it. What makes up for the occasional skip, is the MP3 player plug-in (who cares about skipping CD's, when you have an iPod anyway) and the weather band is a great feature also. The display is super bright, which is good for open air driving when the sun is overhead. Another nice feature is that the power button stays lit when the stereo is off, a nice detail when glancing at you dashboard in total darkness. All in all, it's a good stereo and I recommend it for Jeeps, motorcycles, and even for you boaters.

Designed for life on the open water, the Dual MX-DM70 marine CD player/receiver makes a great foundation for a boat-based stereo system. The receiver features a powerful built-in amplifier (50 watts peak x 4) that powers a quartet of speakers, along with a host of marine-ready extras, such as clear-coated circuit boards, a rust-resistant chassis, and a detachable UV-resistant face with a negative white display. As a result, the stereo stands up to light rains, ocean spray, scorching sun, and almost any other weather condition. The CD player, meanwhile, is compatible with CDs and most CD-Rs, including discs loaded with WMA and MP3 files. The unit even displays track names and artist info on its black-and-white LCD screen, making it easy to find your favorite songs in the midst of a cross-lake cruise. And don't fret when you hit a huge wave, as the MX-DM70 includes an anti-shock mechanism that guarantees smooth playback in rough water.
Further versatility stems from the system's quintet of preset tone curves--which let listeners customize the audio settings based on genre and taste--and the built-in AM/FM radio with 30 presets (20 FM and 10 AM). Plus, the radio picks up several weather bands, so you can check the weather conditions before you head out. And finally, the system includes an auxiliary input with a mountable "iplug" adapter that connects to such audio sources as an iPod, MP3 player, or satellite radio receiver. It's never been easier to haul along your entire music collection while boating.
Additional features include a single set of 3-volt pre-amp outputs (for integrating an external amp or powered sub), selectable European and U.S. tuning, independent bass and treble controls, and a built-in clock. The MX-DM70 fits in most pre-installed dash openings and carries a one-year warranty on parts and labor.

Sony CDXH910UI Marine CD Receiver MP3/WMA/AAC Player with USB Wire for iPod and USB Devices (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Well, it works. It resists splashes, but its faceplate is giant. You would like you would get a high-res display or some benefit to having such a big faceplate but nope. I bought this because it was pretty, I should have been looking at features like bluetooth audio for example. It works as expected and sounds great, the over sized faceplate and price and the lack of bluetooth are the only cons. Also don't buy this unless you can mount it somewhere very easily accessible because the display is hard to read at odd angles.
