I've had this stereo for the past one month and I must say it packs a solid punch with excellent sound, and very deep bass. The set up was quite easy on my 2004 Subaru Legacy [once I got the double din fittings from the UK]. The bluetooth integration with my N97mini is awesome and is very clear during calls. The responsive time for bluetooth interaction is a bit slow. IPod connectivity is also very good and responsive.
All in all it is a very good system and I'm very happy with the package.

This unit does everything as advertised and does it well ! Picture quality is one of the best on the market , touch controls are not to sensistive and respond quickly. Bluetooth intergration was seamless and is very simple. Most importantly sound quality is outstanding. Sony specifies Bit rates of play back at 192 but I've had no issues at 320 or 256 w/ MP3 or WMA. I have always been a Kenwood and Alpine fan but for $400 bucks Sony did a great job of matching up with the higher end guys for much less !!!!!

Pros: Sony quality. Cons: Searching for songs can be cumbersome as you have to go through multiple menu levels to search for specific songs by any artist.

So i have owned this deck for four months today and its just progressively getting slower and slower. From the start i wasn't too happy with the deck but I gave it its chance and Im even more disappointed with this deck. From the start the RCAs are crappy, the plug to hook them up is very weak and the wires at the connector dont have any insulation around the wires, the sub output for the amp is only a single channel and not dual like all other decks out there so wiring it up to an amp is more complicationed due to a lack of a channel and if split it lowers the output of them so a line driver of some form is neccessary if hooking up a sub amp to the deck, the deck itself sticks out about an inch from mounting location so making it compliment the interior of your vehicle is impossible, the look up menus are the worst part of the deck, there is no way to have lots of music and find a song remotely fast, with menu search has no back button that will take you back to where you last were it only starts your search over and if you have alot of music its time consuming especially if youre driving and while searching the deck freezes up often, the remote for the deck is mostly for just watching a DVD anytime besides that its useless other than volume control. Like I said this deck is slow and theres no task you can do on it that doesnt lag.
If youre considering buying a cheap DVD deck dont bother with this one, this deck has few pros and many cons. Overall i give it one star as best. In comparison to other decks ive bought, this deck is the most expesive and the worse deck out of them all. It gets one star for looks and design because the single sub output is a terrible design and it brought my score of a three for looks down just because of how inconvenient it is and overall stupid. Durability is a one because its getting slower and slower the longer i am having the deck. Features i generously gave a two, 4V preamp outputs, 7 band equalizer, 120db SNR, low THD, and screen tilt are nice but still not enough to impress me compared to what all features ive played with on other decks.
Ease of use should get no stars but i gave it a one. Its slow and that makes it dangerous to use while driving. Reading discs has an average loading time of about 30 seconds (CD about 20 and DVD around 40 to a minute), loading a USB takes about 40 seconds (1gb took about 20, a 4gb took 20, an 8gb took 50 seconds, and a 320gb with 40gbs on it took 12 minutes), the menus have anywhere from a 4 second lag up to a 20 second lag depending on what menu your in and when there is music playing that lag increases.

I ordered the Kenwood DNX6140. I placed my order on a Monday and had it in my hands on the opposite coast on Friday. Great service and great price. I was not able to find the unit any cheaper anywhere else. Sonic even shipped the unit out with all the adaptors I needed for the install.
