This Head Unit Does It All!

I really can't say enough about this head unit. The display is super bright, and easily adjustable for brightness settings as well as how you want your stuff displayed... ie: scroll all the time, or just once, or file name/song name... there are about 10 different settings as far as I can tell.
The front access USB port is a godsend.... just put your music on a thumb drive into files according to your musical tastes and you can easily switch through songs and folders in a snap.
The CD player has great playback and I have yet to witness a skip, although admittedly I haven't listened to CD's much since all of my music is on flash drives.
The preamp outputs give a strong, crisp, clean signal to your amps and the 7 band EQ, subwoofer settings and other sound adjustments give you a much finer control over the sound of your music than other units I've had (which is quite a long list from kenwood to clarion to eclipse to cheap jensen stuff). I now STICK with pioneer cd players because of their unrelenting durability and blend of form, function and aesthetics.
I have only two minor complaints about this unit. At lower volumes, there is NO bass at all... NONE. But if you adjust your EQ to compensate for this.... by the time the volume hits 30 you really have to crank the bass down otherwise you'll kill yourself. (I might just be TOO discerning of a listener and tend to find faults in perfection just to grip about something) My only other complaint is the multi control knob.... it's a great idea to keep the face clutter free for aesthetics.... but sort of poorly executed in this case. You have to push it STRAIGHT in to access the main menu, such as audio settings. HOWEVER.... if you're driving down the road, pushing it in straight is nearly impossible. LEARN the remote, it'll save your sanity because if you mis-hit the knob, you'll change your folder on your flash drive or IPOD or whatever.... and then you have the hastle of trying to find what song you were on. Trust me..... USE THE REMOTE AT ALL TIMES!!!
