Disadvantages: Small screen, garish blue/red night illumination, no 10+ skip button
Thanks to BenGee for his sterling review of the Panasonic CQ RDP383 which prompted me to get one too. I think it is sensible to get the mid-range CQ RDP383 which is around £30 less than the bottom-of-the-range Kenwood or Sony without losing out to them in terms of features. Also I am a fan of the rotary knob which implements vol/bass/treble/fader/balance very well (push in to select). One minor grip is that there doesn't seem to be a way of skipping lots of songs at a time, if you have a folder with 100 songs and you want song 50, you have to press the FWD button 50 times. On my Philips MP3 stereo system there is a 1 and 10+ song skip so song number 50 is simply 5 presses of the 10+ button.
