Jensen Vm9312 7-Inch Motorized Touch Screen Multimedia Receiver Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Some might consider this a lower end product, due to the fact that it's about half the price of it's nearest competition. Rest assured, the 'cheap' stigma is in price alone. It's an easy to use, easy to adjust, and fun to use deck that even the least tech-savvy of car owners can operate easily.
First off, I was surprised at how good the picture is. I never feel like I'm watching on a tiny screen, or squinting to make out details. The sound is also good, although at times during dvd playback, I thought it was a bit quiet. I haven't tried using a satellite radio or iPod yet, but for cd and mp3-cd playback it worked well, with great options for navigating through folders.
Few warnings for those thinking of buying this product;
-Player automatically reverts to full volume after being powered down. Can be a bit of a shocker if you're not ready for it.
-When going into the input menu or setup menu, there's a break in the audio for about 1-1.5 seconds. This isn't really a big deal, but is becoming more and more annoying the more it happens.
-It has some trouble recognizing the track title of most store bought discs, substituting song names with "Track 1, Track 2" etc... Not an issue with mp3 discs with ID3 tags.
-There's no option to fast-forward an mp3. I thought this would be a big deal, which prevented me from buying this deck for a while. Not really an issue.
Considering the price, it's a really decent deck. Intuitive controls, easy installation, and fun to show off. Other than a few minor (and probably easily remedied) issues, I'd definitely recommend this deck.

Jensen VM8013HD 3.5-Inch Screen MultiMedia Receiver Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was initially wary about purchasing this unit. I read about four reviews and found that half were for and half were less than satisfied. My decision was strictly base on my monies or lack thereof. When the unit arrived it looked humongous but it actually fit right in. The screen shows surprising well. The remote is largish but you can control everything on deck from it. The HD radio is not bad,I have a bunch of stations here that broadcast in HD. The difference is very noticeable. The included i-pod interface worked with my wife's i-pod. I can control all of its functions from the radio.(NICE!)You will have to get used to the playing order though. If you have playlists you're good to go. The EQ is cheesy but I have a passive parametric EQ and I dial in more mids with that. The DVD portion works great,its played every one of my discs so far. Also the video outputs put out a good signal to my head rest monitors. I haven't tried the AUX input yet but I suspect it will work just fine,plus it comes with the cord anyway. One note: Get familiar with the controls on the remote. It is very hard to adjust anything on the deck while you are driving. The buttons have a cheapish feel to them,kinda like they are going to break if you press them too hard. They don't break though,it's just easier to use the remote. All in all I give this a 4 1/2 star rating. The features are there and the price is really good. The unit itself is really nice to look at too when it's on. It has blue backlit buttons and a really bright screen.Oh yeah,one more note: When you have monitors getting a signal from the deck,they show what is on the deck. For example when I have the radio on,the backseat passengers see the radio station and whats playing and such.
