I have owned this stereo for over 5 years now, and has been through some times.

But, since I've owned this stereo I still haven't run into anything that tops the size for the quality of sound.

I should have done some more research first. The speakers that came with it did not have the sound effects that I wanted. I ended up buying a another set of larger Kenwood... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~119415737988 Thu, 14 Apr 2005 10:43:27 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_119415737988?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_179166154372?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author tx3k9 - We purchased the Aiwa NSX AJ203 mini system at Wal-Mart about 3 years ago. We wanted a mini system because of space constraints in our home, and the Aiwa came with a small enough price tag, around $70 and had the features I was looking for, and since we... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~179166154372 Wed, 6 Apr 2005 15:59:16 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_179166154372?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_178712579716?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author chugawoo - Maybe its me, but for $1000 i expect high tech output. My series one doesnt have component output which i just found out is needed for progressive scan. There is no clock, no labeling,and no memory for audio options. Bose has no upgrade program.

The DAV-C450 system is not up to the mark. It has a mood of its own and sometimes just freezes when Media is inserted. Try inserting a CD when the system has... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~178294001284 Tue, 29 Mar 2005 21:52:51 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_178294001284?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_177206627972?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author tbrumbley - I recently bought this unit for my bedroom, it&#146s not a huge room so I figured if I went with a HTIB type deal it wouldn't be a huge downfall.

I should have been suspect when I read the disclaimer they place in each box. It explains that WE don't understand what true sound imagery is, that THEY have defined it for us and if we don't agree, we just... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~176635285124 Wed, 16 Mar 2005 12:16:19 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_176635285124?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_176720940676?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author major_lag - I would never buy anything Pioneer anymore! 1.
