Since then, the Cherokee has served well as well as being useful without major issues.

Of course, the markings on the top cover noted that the DVD recorder section was non-functioning and the VCR... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~413354462852 Sat, 5 Jan 2008 05:15:29 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_413354462852?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_409922735748?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jedo1507r - I just came across this a week ago at a local pawn shop, where they listed this as "broken - $1", marked with other low-end DVD players that have croaked (the Apexes, Cobys and Cyberhomes of the world).

The big selling point for me, at the time, was the digital optical output (I was an active user of MiniDiscs at the time, but found other uses for the nice output), as well as the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~365584289412 Tue, 22 May 2007 20:10:13 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_365584289412?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_322556628612?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author jedo1507r - I purchased the APA01US this past Sunday and have been so far satisfied overall. My notebook's (HP/Compaq Presario R3000 series) supplied power adapter croaked at over two-and-a-half years' use, which actually had its DC output cord fail back in 2005,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~322556628612 Tue, 20 Feb 2007 04:00:33 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_322556628612?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_312034954884?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author jedo1507r - I have had the SL-MP70 for nearly two years now and frequently play it through my car stereo.

The sound is left to be desired, but is not as bad as some other designs. The remote control needs some redesigning, but otherwise is a handy size... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~288898518660 Fri, 8 Dec 2006 00:59:20 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_288898518660?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_247446408836?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jedo1507r - I had the ES10 since December of 2005 and have not had a problem with it.

The SA-XR10 replaced my ailing Sony STR-AV970 (1991) receiver, and enjoyed the form factor of the XR10 better than a traditional receiver.
