Great sound. Some companyies try to put too much into a great display and forget why you buy a cd player, to listen and not to look.

Could be easier to find the bass and treble features. Have to search and have certain things turned off to reach them. Display could be alittle better, but like I said in the previous.

Very Very Durable. Friend had it in his car for a few months and one night he flipped his car. He thought the car was on fire because the volume nob was flashing thru its color spectrum. Long story short car would be repaired and the cd player never ever skipped. Says alot.

You can select different lighting set-ups,rotary volume control is nice. enhancer comes in handy and its very simple to operate.Has only skiped maybe 3-4 times in 2 years, and im sure all were bad road related.

The screen is very weak in sunlight, but so are most recievers.

Ive had the unit for about 2 years know and have had no problems.Sounds good works well and looks nice at nite when lit up. I have a external amp to run my interiors, but thats me, i like it loud.

Sound quality is outstanding, whether through the internal amplifier or through the RCA preouts. Build quality seems to be quite good. Easy faceplate to remove/replace, average readibility on the display. Its connectivity is outstanding. It can control more outboard units than I ever imagined was possible! It looks great...but only when turned off!

It looks better turned off than turned on. The display is very cluttered, with every indicator on the display visible at all times. In my minivan (''98 Windstar) the display is slightly obscured by the top of the faceplate. The Z-Enhancer gripes me. It seems pretty useless, just a different type of bass/treble control. The ordinary ones work just fine, thank you. With the prism key you are stuck with the colors they preset. It seems a little garish, but that is just aesthetics. For some reason, I can not make this feature turn off like it is supposed to. The button layout and functionality is not as good as it could be. It could have been designed better, but nobody asked me! ;-)

Overall a good head unit, just a useless feature or two, and a cheesy display. The important features, though, like sound quality, are great. The unit I purchased was refurbished. That''s why I paid $199, which was less than half of MSRP. It comes with a warranty, though only 90 days. I would like to give it only 3 1/2 stars for overall rating because of the display and controls. I''m not sure if I would buy this unit again for aesthetic reasons, but that is no indictment of its fitness as a high-end source unit. I just prefer a more conservatively styled display. I would definitely recommend it to those looking for a more flashy display.

Good Pre-amp output power. Good speaker power 45x4. Easy 2 use and program.

I ended up blowing the finals in the first one i got after a few months, then got a brand new one from crutchfield with hardly any questions asked. My new one is great and no problems yet.

Good all around Cd player, no skipping at all. definatly recomended.

Great sound quality, clean power from pre-outs, nice looks (in my opinion). I moved up from a 6675 and am very happy. Like this better than the Pioneer DEH-P9200 I had too. Rotary volume control is a must.

Could have CD-Text built in. Would love an RDS tuner with Radio Text like the Pioneer, but those are features you pay more for. Face sometimes won't open on its own, and needs a little push. Over all, I'm very happy.

For the price, the sound and build quality can't be beat. I'd love some extra features, but I wouldn't give up the rotary volume control. Won't switch this until some better radio system is available in Canada (and DAB doesn't count).

Good quality

Very Hard to read in direct sunlight

It is a very good reciever. The CD sound sounds great. It is very attractive and lively. People love to look at it. I would say definitley to get it for a resonable price. It would be worth it.

Everything. Great Sq, awesome looks, has never skipped on me. Plays scratched cds very good. Prism key is a nice touch, everyone love the changing colors. I like the rotating looking world (the message display). 3 sets of 4volt preouts, one is non fading with level control.

Nothing

I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys their music. This unit hasn't let me down yet. For the price I paid, $279, it is worth every penny. If you plan to get one, order it from onlinecarstereo.com They are dependable and very fast shipping. This unit also has CD-Text, Disc and station naming. You can buy an optional DSP unit which is very killer. You can hook up to 4 disc changers to this. Dual 1 bit D/A converters ensure you get supurd SQ. Thats it, I recommend you get one now!

Kenwood, Sony, Pioneer. The Clarion kills em all with SQ. My last Sony skipped all the time and wouldn't play have my CDs, this unit will play all of them no problem.

The looks are nice as long with features as the z-enhancers

The face is hard to read in the sun

I think this is worth the price i paid at 280. If you pay 475 for this i would recommend gettin a better head unit such as eclipse

Awesome amount of features, esp. if you get the DPH7500z DSP module. So much stuff to tinker with, and customize the sound to the interior of your car. Highly recommended set-up. And its fun being able to name all your cd's and all the modes you create on your own. CD text is great.

The lens is a little finicky with slighty scuffed cd's. But thats probably due to its high quality.

I paid $400 for it. I couldnt go wrong.....great looks and an array of features and options, and a great Pro-Audio warranty. As far as Eclipse goes, I personally think that Fujitso-Ten makes weak, easily broken products. I have two friends, both with Eclipse headunits and all I hear about is broken buttons, and lights blowing out in the faceplate. I've always bought Alpine, and I had one Sony Mobile ES, but I wanted something different in this system and they sell Eclipse there too, but I passed that crap up real quick. I would without a doubt recommend Sony Mobile ES over Fujitsu-Ten anyday. I NEVER had any problems with my Sony, EVER. And you get a slew of features, more bang for your buck. Alpines quality has been questionable since about '95. I had the broken button problems.....my mode button decided to break and I couldnt get at my tone controls. Junk. But the new Clarions seem great, I'm having a wonderful experience so far. Esp. with the DPH7500z hooked up. WOW.
