I have had this unit for 3 months now and hooked up soundstream digital tv. The picture is stunning.... I would highly recommend getting this unit. The volume knob is small but who really cares right. It has a remote and the unit rocks!

i have had this unit for a month now.love it.it looks good and functions good

This receiver is ok if your looking for something basic at a great price. My car was broken into and my previous in-dash monitor was stolen. I didn't want to spend too much money, but I wanted another receiver with dvd capability. I purchased this receiver and had it installed, I was not very pleased with the way my aftermarket speakers and subs sounded. The sound quality was not as loud or clear, and the unit just doesn't provide enough power to make your system accomplish what you bought it for! I would not recommend this unit if your looking for any substantial sound quality. It only provides 40watts per channel which is rather low, and if you have subs definately don't get this unit unless you want to get laughed at. Don't be cheap, spend the extra money it really makes a difference.

I've had this unit for about three weeks now and I'm pleased with it especially for the price. Some of the issues stated in other comments are correct like with the iPod and touch screen. The unit does funny things as far as displaying the playlist order and sometimes the touch screen does not respond, but that's once in a blue moon. Someone stated the controls are not backlit and I had that issue, but that was because I was given the wrong wiring harness for my vehicle and with the correct one the controls are lit. I will say I'm impressed with the clarity of the dvd images and sound quality. Very sharp! Even with stock speakers the music from the iPod and dvd's sound excellent! So this unit is work getting at this price. If you are looking to install a sub with it, it has the connection for it as well as controlling it from the touch screen. Also I recommend getting a rear view camera (which requires a little creativity to get it to work while moving)and Sirius(w/the universal receiver to see the title and artist also sold on Amazon.com). By the way with a rear view camera, it does not come on automatically when the vehicle is placed in reverse. The brush metal finish matches very well with the interior of my '07 Dodge Ram.

Cons: 1. Appearance - display is only blue....no ability to change it. 2. Functionality - panel doesn't close when you turn off the vehicle, no LED panel on the top edge of the panel....can't tell what station you are on if it is closed. Can't get a strong enough signal compared to my old Alpine. 3. Fit & Finish - Since it is a flip-out display, it doesn't sit back in the dash far enough. Trim ring doesn't fit in my Nissan. Pros: Good clarity when the DVD is on. Touchscreen is always a plus. Video input and output....makes it easy to expand later for a rearview camera and a rear monitor for my kids.
