Pioneer SX 205

Advantages: Lots of power and range of tones
Disadvantages: Not enough speaker connections

...This pioneer receiver is a great buy. It will work great for a home theater or just some great sound ina room or through out the house. I have mine connected in my room. I only wish it had a sub out for connecting a high power sub to the receiver. I was still able to connect a sub by useing the left two speaker connects to run to one but now my sound is mono with all bass from one side and everything from another. It has lots of power though and can run all kinds of speakers. Theres enough ports too to connect almost anything. A great feature is if you are over powering or messed up the wireing it will shut its self off and say over loaded. norammly all you need to do is turn it off and back on to reset adn play it a little lower other wise you know you have a wire crossed. The remote is a good remote works from a distance and can do... Read review

Advantages: Very good sound quality, many options, Sound Retriever technology
Disadvantages: Interface could be better

...That car radio system is a blast. Intuitive controls, usb and ipod control are really adding up to the fun here. I had a bit of trouble installing because the main problem with aftermarket systems is that illumination wire that you never know where to tie up. I ended up frying my dashboard dimmer switch which is a 65$ value! Just be careful when installing those things! For the radio itself, the advantages are the legendary Pioneer sound quality. The downside I think is the menu navigation. If you have an iPod filled with music, choosing an artist can soon become a long task to accomplish e.g: you have to turn that button soooo many times. But else it really looks great and as I said, USB control is really cool. Personnaly I installed a 160gb HD powered by my lighter plug directly connected to the unit. Never change the disc again!...

...Pioneer DEH-30 MP I bought this car stereo around 2 years ago for my car as I wanted something that sounded better than the standard stereo. I bought mine from Motor-mania for around £150.LCD blue screen and reads out what ever it is playing at the time. I think it has really good quality sound even when the volume is on high. It plays any CDs including MP3 and even ones that are slightly scratched play just as well on this CD player. Features MP3/WMA Playback with ID3 Tag CD-R/CD-RW Compatible Aux Input 3 Band parametric equalizer Selectable loudness feature Dual Pre-outs It also has traffic announcement features, preset channel memory and auto/manual frequency search. It came with a handy remote control so that even passengers in the back can pick what to have on the stereo. This stereo can also be... Read review
