OK folks.. need some help in deciding what new MP3 HU I want.

My 3 picks so far a


Clarion DXZ838RMP

Sony CDX-M850MP

Kenwood KDC-M7024

All are round the £220 mark and have similar features and functions.
Any recommendations or discouragements to those units about or are there
any others that I should take a look at.

Any help greatly appreciated... I'll be having a pop into my local
Halfords to see what they have to play with (don't worry I won't be
buying anything there).

Cheers.

I would normally agree with you about Halfords but today I bought an MP3/
CD/Radio from them in there half price sale a - GCE 7350 MP3R for £49.99

I seems like a goog little unit and anyway for that price I thought I would
just try.

Cheers

and works okay and at that price I am not really bothered.

Aargh! Make me sick, why don't you? Got mine for £99.99, and can't take
it back. :-(

I can't get it to play anything other than track 1 on a disk of MP3's,
ATM. It's more than likely something I did wrong burning the disk,
though. I wasted a few CD-R's because I used lower case letters in file
names. Unless anyone here has a few suggestions, I'll have to contact
Goodmans to see what I'm doing wrong.

If there is something wrong with the HU, then Halfords are obliged to
exchange the unit with a working one ( if thats what you suspect)

or, exchange the Goodmans one (as it is mot working), for another
equivilent, then re-swap it againg for another, cheaped Goodmans -
hopefully you will get the difference back in cash or in vouchers

Good luck...

I understand that, but ATM, I suspect me. :-)

Frankly, the maual is fairly poor when it comes to the MP3 section. For
example, I initially got an "ERROR 2" message, when trying to play MP3's.
Nowhere is that error code, or any other, explained. As I said, I'll
check with Goodmans first, just to be sure.

According to Goodmans, that error code covers various things, so isn't
really very helpful.

And, as a result, I tried burning my CD's by a different method. All seem
now to be okay. Why doesn't the manual just say "Burn from ISO images",
rather than the waffle they do write in it?
