Customer Reviews more useful 10 of 11 people found the following review helpful. good for the price I asked regduj The first was apparently defective because it was off at random times while I was driving and not return until I uninstalled, re-whip and hung it. I did this three times and eventually returned. Amazon sent a replacement immediately and took the defective unit back. The new work is very good. Excellent replacement for the original radio in the car. The only complaint I have, and for me is much smaller, ie, the audio controls to adjust and so on, you must navigate through a menu. It's not worse if you learn to use it, but a bit annoying, especially if you drive. 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Great stereo for 90% of people By Kryztoff Kenwood is renowned for its excellent audio and this unit is no exception. It has many features to optimize the sound that I expected the sound quality very head of the other is pretty good. Navigation and controls are intuitive and the most basic functions (mute playback volume of the jump) are easy to find without looking at the face. The following are the only things that I did not like the distortion bridge in volume to about 75% by volume on the bridge distorts badly, even on my pioneer D-Series speakers. My previous Pioneer deck does not distort the speaker just before the maximum volume, so I was a little 'disappointed. The cost is about three times the previous stereo, however, I can not complain too much. The unit is very strong, even before it distorts (again, not nearly as strong as the pioneer) most people would not come close to the threshold. Audio Control Menu-Some of the settings were hard to come by, and were available only in "sleep" mode. Once I found, however, I was able to significantly improve the sound system. EQ-I as much as I can play with this deck, you can not get rid of a metallic tone when you play any type of rock sounds great acoustic and hip hop music with a loud voice. But something is missing between 150 and 600 Hz bass boost adds distortion only, so it was not a solution. Oh, well. Overall this is a great stereo, especially at only $ delivered the 75th Most people will not use or view of the things I complained, and would be very happy with the purchase. Folder navigation is very easy on MP3 discs, and read the good times. There is also a very stylish unit. I recommend this device for most people. December 10 people found this review helpful. I love this product! For Sundaram Ganeshram I bought this player for only $ 54 from Amazon (plus $ 20) and definitely exceeded my expectations for sound quality in question. My opinion is based mainly on comparison with the 1900MP Pioneer player that I had previously. Pros: Excellent sound quality. The lowest among the major brands like Pioneer, Sony, Alpine, Kenwood itself. Etc.. Plays multiple formats esp wma. This play wma files (each 2 hours duration), which was not recognized by my old Pioneer. Pause - My old player had only in the remote. To stop the music in my old player, I had to either hold it for several seconds, or change it to AUX mode. BTW this (MP145) does not come with the remote, but I need one for something I can get with my hands! Cons: Could not read display in bright sunlight. If you are at the last song in a folder, the "NEXT" button will not bring you to the first title in the next folder. Control buttons (1-6) is slightly too small. No power switch. SRC must press twice (CD mode) to turn it off. Audio controls where a little confusing at first but now I've gotten used to it. Search operation - This player has an "up one folder level", such as Windows Explorer, which is very useful when playing a music CD with the complex system subfolder However most of the CDs that I only have folders in one.
