Advantages: lcd display, remote control, 3 pre out channels

Disadvantages: no detachable face

this head unit is a work of art. after my kenwood head unit stop working i was shopping for a new cd player. i found the sony cdmx8800 and new it was the best head unit for me. the 4x52watts channels run standard sound systems with brilliant clarity and the 3 pre out channels allows it to run big sound systems.

some of the great features on this head unit include:-

dso - this feature allow you to raise the sound of your door speakers so they can be heard easier. this allows for an all round better sound quality.

movies & screensavers - when the head unit is closed you can choose to have screensavers or movies play while you listen to music.

graphic equalizer - this allows you to adjust how loud each seperate frequency of sound is i.e. you can adjust the bass, midrange and highrange seperately on a panel like this:

-- - -
- -- -
--- if you know what i mean.

the main disadvantage with this head unit is the fact that you cannot remove the front panel when you leave the car. they have tried to get round this by putting a security code on the unit so if you do not know the code you cannot use the headunit.

i was also disappointed that the headunit did not have a wider range of light colours.

the head unit is very simple to use and install and the manual has everything you could ever need to know about the unit.

all and all i would strongly advise people who have big sound systems in their car to go for this unit and if you dont, buy it anyway people it will improve the sound of your standard speakers dramatically.

Summary: buy this unit, it looks and sounds amazing, easy to use and great value for money
