Very good CD/Receiver for the price

This is a good player/receiver for the price. The one knob volume audio menu is great. The display is exceptionally easy to read. The FM broadcast reception is very good but the AM reception is weak. It is hard to criticize this player/receiver as it offers so many excellent features and truly outstanding performance for the price, but there are always one of two areas for improvement.

Low Voulme on AUX Input

2 main reasons why I chose this over others:

1. Price
2. AUX Input to hook up my iPod

For the price, the product works great. CD sound quality is clear. My car has a built in pre-amp/subwoofer unit and wiring it through for the installers was easy ( at least they told me so). I was a happy camper with the sound. Volume level 18 is more than adequate for car listening ( the knob goes past 30).

Now, when I connected the iPod for the first time; I thought something was wrong. No sound. Turns out, I need to turn the volume wayy up past 25 AND turn the volume dial on the iPod to almost full - to get the same volume that I get at level 18 when playing a regular CD or the radio.

2 stars because with a Panasonic, you would expect the thing to work - period. The annoyance factor of remembering to turn volume down on 2 devices (or risk being hit with a blast of sound) and knowing that these things once installed - its probably not even worth it trying to yank out for return.

Buen sonido,

Tiene buena calidad aunque aun no la he probado por mucho tiempo. No le he conectado nada aun en el AUX-IN y francamente espero que soporte el calor que recibe el equipo dentro del auto, en buena parte del año.
Yo solo necesitaba el Radio receptor pero es una buen equipo a simple vista. En el manual dice que tiene control remoto pero aparentemente ha sido error porque no iba nada, aunque es algo que para mi no es importante.
Una cosa que yo no logré ver antes es que el espacio donde se introduce el equipo tiene menos longitud que el aparato, pero aparentemente es algo que se puede arreglar en un taller.

Brighter than the Krypton Sun

As the other reviewer said, the auxillary input is not as loud as it could be which is annoying. Another annoying thing is that there is a blue light that burns holes retnas, its that bright. I have to put a towel over the headunit because its so distracting. If you painted the light a dull color it would get a better rating.
the sound is of good quality as far as i can tell and it looks nice, It can play mp3 cds which is a plus and its relatively cheap. I would not buy this unit on my own accord because the light is so distracting.
