Pros:
1. Built in crossovers for the speaker level and preamp stages.
2. Sounds great with plenty of tone adjustment.
3. Three sets of preamp outputs.
4. Price. Really, I know of no other deck with these features at this price.
Cons:
1. I think the rotary knob needs to be on the other side of the face. My hand blocks the text display while using the knob making it hard to see what I'm doing.
2. No option to change the button or display color.
Would I buy it again? Without a doubt, yes.

It is a really nice stereo. I like the option of putting a memory stick loaded with songs in the external port and listen to music without having to fumble with cd's. the only thing I don't like about it, is if you turn the volume up past 30 it starts to cut out like its not getting enough juice to it. at first i thought it was my speakers but it was indeed the radio. other than that i would buy it again but not for a high end system.
