Nice, simple, affordable head unit |

I recently purchased this unit on clearance to replace my 12 year old sony head unit after the tuner went out. I don't listen to tapes all that much, but it works perfectly with my old 10 disc changer and the sound is great even on my car's factory speakers. It looks great and is easy to use. The display is much easier to read than my old unit, but you may need to study the buttons with a magnifying glass to memorize what they are for. They can be a little difficult to read, especially while driving. The main drawback for me is that it doesn't support the custom file funtion on my cd changer, but it does actually display the titles I had programmed into it using my old head unit. This is an excellent deal if you are trying to avoid spending a small fortune on a new CD controller.

Low Cost Sony Tape player |

This unit is pleasing to the eye both on or off. There is plenty of power, and well thought out instructions from Sony make install a breeze, as well as operation. My unit sometimes powers off when you adjust the volume. The buttons are really small. The cassette funtions buttons are manual, and if feels hard to fingers to (eject) rew or ff. I like the BTM function, where you hit one button, and all (strongest FM) stations auto populate to the direct station numbers buttons, really neat for fast setup. The AM and FM stations come in really well. Rewind and Fastforward is not the correct direction from one side to the reverse side. If the tape is playing side two, you have to think o.k. FF to rewind the tape.

This cassette reciever is a good solid base unit, it has plenty of power, and CD/MD unit controls it is also XM ready. This unit however is a little hard on tapes (especialy those exceeding 60 minute)

It makes a great bottom-end head unit, but It's hard on tapes. If you listen to tapes a lot you'll be much happier with the XR-F5100X
