I have a Panasonic Mp3/CD player. Has an extra rca for subs and excellent=

tuning ability. I can adjust the subs seperatly from the rest and it has =

really cool bass boost feature as well. Came with a useless remote which =

promptly lost. It looks cool too, it's silver with blue lights and a blue=

circle around the volume dial. Also has a detatchable faceplate which is =
nice.
My only complaint with it is that it's pretty hard to adjust settings whi=

driving, or set stations and stuff like that. I've got it down pretty wel=

about 1 1/2-2yrs old and though it doesn't skip, it doesn't seem to like =

Cost me $300 at the time but I'm sure you could find it cheaper now, due =

'filler' sound. HTH

I've got an Panasonic MP3 player also, and got the previous year's stock =
