I think they are terrible units, i have seen many go bad. I would save a litle more and get a new panasonic for like 570 or i would buy a factory refurb Avic n2 for like $650. |

dont buy jensen. I did lol and the installer at a local shop didnt even want to install it, so i returned it. He said Jensens Dvd's are one of the worse. |

I had a Dual XDVD8180 for about a week (before I was robbed) and I loved it... online for less than 400 dollars shipped.. |

dual is the same as Jensen....very very low end and quality. I have only seen about 4 0r 5, but they all had some type of video problem. just saying if you pay 350 for a cheap unit and you have it go bad, then have to pay shipping(to and from) to get it fixed under warranty(if your lucky) you could just save up and get better quality. |

ty, I know that.. if not for that I wouldn't have posted in this thread.
I never had a video problem with it.. and have never heard of the video problem except on the jensen versions.
Jensen is a division of Audiovox, so is Dual, Phase Linar (spelling?) and about a dozen+ other companies.
ty, which of the jensen/dual units have you owned? |

have not owned, but have installed the early version of these radios, first impression is very important. The jensens if feel had poor sound quality and had problems with dvd and the tv tuners sucked in them. The Dual had problems with the screen going black or getting wavy lines through them or the dvd player breaking. Just personal experience installing them. |

Oh.. was just curious.
The early versions were first releases, though.. the newer models come equipped with upgraded parts to solve most of the problems found in earlier models.
I never liked the Jensen head units, but the Dual has an excellent display, the refresh rate is a tad slower than the Pioneer, Panasonic, and Alpine.. but those three brands, along with a handful of others, have lower resolution displays than the Dual, and the Jensen.
I personally like the displays made by Audiovox better than the ones made by Panasonic, and if I were to go out and buy another display I would sacrifice the built in SQ and buy an external DSP just to have that nice of a screen that Dual offers.
Also, my Dual unit played every kind of video/audio disc you could throw at it (minus video games, and CDG).. It played VCD, DVD-/+R/ DVD-/+RW, DVD, CD, CD-/+R, CD-/+RW and with the other brands like Pioneer the more you spend the more discs you can play in it.
I'm rambling now, so I'm going to go take a nap.. only had 4 hours last nite |
