Trust me, it kicks ass. I stuffed 30 Essentials on one DVD. SIXTY HOURS of music and tossed it in there. Didn't look at the disc for weeks.

My DVD player was a Power Acoustik that I got off of eBay for 130 dollars shipped. Didn't have a screen but had the option for one of course. I also chose that unit for the coax digital out for DTS decoding,

DAMN 300????? that is a lot.. 170 for a maxtor 160gb firewire/usb from zipzoomfly.. 90 for a plextor shipped from newegg after rebate. and 50 dvd+R for 20 at best buy.

Plextor >>>>>> *
NEC is good, but even NEC >>>>>>>> Lite-On

The Plextor 16x is only $70 after rebates if you get it from Best Buy right now- $30 from BB and $30 from Plextor after a $130 price tag.

well, the -R's that i got are only good for 1-8X anyway. so i won't be hitting 16x just yet.

Nah- the Plextor will burn 16x on 8x media just fine. Just make sure you get Fujifilm DVD+Rs, and make sure you only get packages that say "Made in Japan" on them. That way you can be sure that you're getting real Taiyo Yuden media. Everything coming out of Taiwan in terms of media really stinks. Taiyo Yuden and Mitsui >>>>> *.

The PADVD-740R? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...ssPageName=WD VW

Also, would this unit work as a standalone? Meaning, could it reasonably replace my Sony CDX-M800 head unit? Or it is a pile that works well enough for playing dvd's but nothing else?

Don't expect the world from it, it is a bargain system. It is a standalone AM/FM CD, DVD, MP3 player. It does not need a screen to work. It will play mp3's off of DVD-R's. There is no fancy graphics on the headunit, just a simple display for showing tracks and what mode it is in.

If you want an inexpensive headunit that does what it does and nothing else, then get the PADVD. If you want more features, fancy graphics, etc etc, then go with another unit.

My only two requirments like I said were the coax digital out and the mp3 capabilities. Didn't care about it being snazzy.

what kind of car amp do you plug a digital coax into? i've yet to see one...

Sabz5150

I don't plug it into an amp. I plug it into my DTS decoder. The amps get plugged into it. One for front/rear, one for center, one for subwoofer.

Sherwood's XDTS-80. It's a half din 5.1 DTS/SRS Circle surround processor.

5.1 in your car. You're the shit, Sabz.

It sounds incredible. Six discrete channels at 96khz sampling rate. It has SRS simulated surround for normal music/dvd's but sometimes it gets confused with the voices and drowns them out to the back.

The whole setup cost less than $1000, including the 7.2 inch flipdown going in there soon. Not bad.

That unit displays the information on a hooked up lcd, correct?

Also, can it fully replace my sony unit? I need something that I can hook up my 2 amps to. It needs to sound decent but I dont care about a fancy eq. Just play the radio, cds, mp3 dvd's, and movie dvds.

The screen stays blank until you put a disc in, then it acts like a DVD player. If you are talking about displaying info like more higher end decks do, then no.

It will play all the above. It has two video outputs, one audio/video input, preamps for front, rear and subwoofer. It also has the digital coax. So yes, you can hook your two amps to it and be fine. Its mp3 playback is pretty decent. Much better than my first generation Jensen mp3 player.
