I was looking for an inexpensive CD Player for the company car that I drive, and bought this one on the recommendation of the dealer.

The car only has the standard front speakers, so it is a bit of overkill, given the power of this player, but even with the existing speakers it sounds fantastic.

The detachable flip down front panel is a feature that got full marks from my more electronically minded co-workers.

Attaching and detaching the panel requires practice, as it's not that easy to do, especially when you're in a hurry. It's so uncool to have to use both hands to do it, so I'll continue to work on that aspect.

The remote control feature was an added incentive to buy it, and it comes in handy, except when my son gets his hands on it and keeps repeating the same song over and over from the back seat. He's two years old, so that shows how simple it is to use the remote.

It picks up radio signals from miles away, and the increased choice of channels was an unexpected plus.

My major problem with it is the lights. This thing lights up like a Christmas tree, which at night can be distracting. I've heard that you can dim them, but haven't had the time to read the manual to find out how. Until then I just flip down the front panel so they don't show.

Definitely no regrets buying it

I consider my self an audiophile, and I was looking for an inexpensive stereo for my wife's car. I researched a lot of stereo's and found the Sony (CDX-CA700X) to have the most bang for the buck. It has Lots of feathers and lots of power. The only drawback I found is that it is difficult to put in the face plate. I think you would be impressed with this low priced but impressive car stereo.

I am quite the tightwad when it comes to buying electronics. I do a lot of research. I found that this unit met my requirements, and decided to buy it. I am impressed with the easy installation, the nice looking display, and the excellent features. The DSO feature really does make door speakers sound like they are mounted in the dash. The equalizer presets are well done. The power output is more than even a hard core blaster can use. I recommend this unit wholeheartedly to the buyer who wants a good unit, but does not want to spend the money on a high end unit. This fits this niche perfectly.

I have a 1970 VW Bettle and this thing rock's!!! I got this deck for my birthday and I think it is the best b-day present ever!!! It is like 52W by 4 or something and it just looks so nice in my car (and im sure a lot of other cars). It has all the security features and stuff, and I installed
myself (Im 15 years old)!!! Its not too expensive and I definetly reccomend it to everyone!!!

I just got through buying this stereo and I could not beleive my ears after I hooked it and my amp up to my speakers. I have had alot of pioneers, and kenwoods in the past but I do beleive that this stereo out performs them anyday.

The only problem that I have with it is how hard it is to get the face plate on and off, but that is no biggie for me. I did not like how it lit up like a christmas tree but then I found away todim the lights so that it is all good.

I highly reccomend this stereo system to anyone that loves music butdoes not want to spend all there money on the stereo.
