This hd has the best sound ever, you can literally make your speakers sound like subwoofers. On top of that the screen changes color, and of course it has the usb slot where you can plug in you i-pod, hard drive, or usb memory stick, it also can be used as a charger. It's not a cheap unit but it's worth every penny.

I bought this deck a while ago and have had no problems since. its a pretty good deck for the money. I'm running my music off an a-data 2 gb usb stick and i got over 1400 songs on there. only down side is every time you turn it on it takes about 20 seconds to load up all the music but after that changing and loading songs is instant. very nice deck and a lot of preouts and features to improve any mid range system. would be really nice if it had motorize face plate :)
