RE: MD: In-car MD players
I've got one of these JVC car systems as well, and as I've said before, the only disapointing thing I've found, was the the cd player skips more than I expected (maybe we just have rough roads here in Australia!!) I haven't had experience with other in car cd's so I don't really know how it compares to others in this regard, but I've had nothing but good vibes about the look of the unitso many people say" wow, cool, love the flashing lights and stuff" and compared to the pioneer units (some of them put on a complete "show", others are just plain cheesier than the JVC) I'm really happy with it. I don't ever recall seeing the panasonic one, some it must be new, but that sounds like a really god idea, having two slots and all.. Just one more pointonly in Japan have I seen them com in two colours. Here only the chequered carbon fiber look exists, but over there, I had a choice of that and a slick looking metalic/grey-silver unit. Just a quick note on the Maxell discs.i haven't ever had to record on them, but my teacher (I'm a conservatorium student-classical music and all) records all his stuff on to them and passes it on to me. He's used them now for about a eight months, and neither of us have had a problem with them at allnever been stuck, never broken. Maybe I should get out while I'm still alive!!! :) cheers all. jeremy. -Original Message- From: Andy Turnbull [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, 25 March 2000 02:56 Subject: MD: In-car MD players Been looking at getting a MD player for the car as the EMPEG mp3 player seems a tad on the expensive side!

This is all accomplished with the so-called ORGANIC display. Pioneer claims that their unit can still be seen in bright sunlight--this is pure marketing hype (bullshit). It is still just like all other car head-units. Displays get washed-out in bright light. That's why I like driving at night! Good luck choosing your unit.

RE: MD: In-car MD players
The Panasonic is a great deck if you like its looks. I'm very happy with it, and what sold me on it over the JVC is exactly the fact that it holds both media at the same time. I have heard from some people that the Panasonic CQ-MRX777 has 2 separate slots, so it is better since you can leave both a CD and MD in the unit at the same time. It is single DIN as well. From what I've seen, it costs significantly more than the KD-MX3000. - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

=== = NB: Over 50% of this message is QUOTED, please = = be more selective when quoting text = === I have the JVC-MX3000 and I like it a lot. The graphics on the display really are not that cheesy (I've seen much worse). If anything the faux carbon fiber shell can possibly clash with the interior of your car. Fortunately, my interior is black so it doesn't look all that bad. Having MD and CD in a single DIN is a godsend.
