4 out of 5 stars Great Head Unit!   November 24, 2009
Mitchell J. Hammond (Columbus,OH USA)
I Purchased This Head unit On 11/19/09 and i just recieved it today on 11/24/09. Besides the shipping taking forever i Bought the Head unit from amazon, and the Wiring Harness & Amp Integration Harness [...] which came to a total cost for everything at about $135. For the Price it is a great head unit! as for some of the reviews i have read before deciding to purchase this one, Ill tell you something about this product that i could not find in the reviews. It does have 3x Preouts in the back of the head unit. One for front,rear,and subwoofer speakers. It was also very easy to hook up it took all of 15 mins for me to take out my factory stereo and apply the wiring harness to finish the installation. The wiring harness from crutchfield made everything easier by 90% and with the Amp Integration Wiring Harness I didnt have to splice any wires or run any either. It made Bypassing my Factory amplifier very easy! The USB port functions very easily and it connects very fast. And if you pull it out at the middle of a song, Dont worry! It picks up right where you left off. To sum it all up I would recommend this head unit to anyone its a great buy for the price and quality!


4 out of 5 stars Best Value In This Class   November 20, 2009
Joe Gandalf (South Carolina Mountains)
I'm an old audiophile, and am very picky about the sound quality of anything I use to play music. This radio replaced an old Denon unit in my Fiero. I normally buy Pioneer stereos for my cars, because I prefer their tuner section, but this radio managed to pull in a low power college station from 25 miles away (in the mountains), even while in the garage, with a metal roof and the steel garage door closed! The sensitivity is as good as I could hope for.

The volume/multi-function control is not as bad as some reviewers stated. If you are careful the volume control works well, but if you inadvertently press it in, you will have to locate the "cancel" button or wait 5 seconds for it to return to normal mode - not a good thing when you need to concentrate on the road. It would be better if Sony had engineered it so you have to hold the control in for a second or so (rather than instantaneous response) in order to access those functions.

Another mild annoyance is with the backlighting. The display dims when you turn on the car's lights, but the backlighting for the buttons doesn't, and that can be a distraction; I had to switch the lighting color from blue (my preference) to green to reduce the glare somewhat.

One final problem is with the MP3 playback. If you have a huge single file, there is no way to jump forward in large steps; the fast forward only goes at (maybe) 3-4 times normal speed. Most people don't have 1 or 2 hour long MP3s, though, so this might not be an issue for you.

The programming options are pretty comprehensive. The ability to turn off the animations on the display is a great feature, IMO.

Overall, I'm very satisfied with the stereo - the sound quality is equal to the quality of the Infinity speakers I have, and the sale price made this purchase a no-brainer. I think you would have to spend well over twice the price to get any better audio system for your car.

Low noise, high fidelity, but you need to read the manual, for all the complex function it have.


5 out of 5 stars Excellent Radio   November 17, 2009
Clovertatt (Atlanta, GA)
Love my new radio. I really enjoy being able to shuffle by playlist, genre, artist, et cetera. And the usb charger also plays and charges my Samsung Rogue. No problem with installation. When I finally did read the manual it was weeks later just because I wanted to turn off demo mode. The sound quality is amazing. The radio is beautiful. And the ease of use really pleases me.


4 out of 5 stars Sounds good   November 15, 2009
Cogswheel
This unit sounds good. The support for browsing the music on an attached usb device is OK, but not as easy as using the device itself (it wouldn't be an easy thing to achieve). Happily you can still use your usb devices own browsing capabilities with this receiver. I've been very happy with the purchase.
