    4 out of 5 stars Great sound, button functions require study time   May 21, 2010
    Lg Field
    I purchased this player so I can play audiobooks on MP3 discs and my IPOD. The sound is great but I sometimes find the button functions a hassle. The buttons can serve multiple functions and some not so obvious. The writing is small so that also makes them hard to read while driving. Since the receiver is relatively new I'm sure I'll get through the learning curve quickly as I try to do each new thing. I have the instruction book in the glove compartment and when I want to do something different... like turn off the radio/player I've had to check it out. I think it was a good buy for the price. I didn't want lots of bells and whistles and I got a few but I also got the sound quality and flexibility I wanted.


    5 out of 5 stars CDX-GT540UI vs. CDX-GT630UI   May 16, 2010
    bAtu
    Lets start with the three cons of both models:

    The CDX-GT540UI has blue face plate illumination while the CDX-GT630UI offers a green backlight option too. The problem is that both of them are incapable of setting the brightness of the backlight, that is it shines too bright.

    The prev/next buttons are small and hard to press.

    The main knob default functionality is setting the treble, bass, fade, etc. Now, that makes no sense to me since I hardly set these options. Pressing the main know should have the functionality of that of the quick browse button.


    As for the pros of the two models, both the CDX-GT540UI and the CDX-GT630UI handle (and charge) the iPhone nicely, which is invaluable for me when I get on longer trips. The music library is easy to browse both when the audio control is at the iPhone (iPod software) and at the car stereo. The sound quality is more than satisfying.


    I used to own a CDX-GT630UI a couple of months back, but I sold it and decided to go for the CDX-GT540UI instead. The reasons I like the CDX-GT540UI better are the somewhat easier to reach prev and next buttons, the 1 character longer LCD display and the easier to detach face plate.

    I got this for my son. It accepts an ipod and runs cd's, which I wanted. We are still sorting out the speakers. One good thing is that the big knob in the middle Is the volume.
