KDC-MP145 : KDC-MP145 I Love this Product!

By Ganeshram Sundaram

I bought this KDC-MP145 for just $54 from amazon (plus $20 shipping) & it definitely beat my expectation as far as sound quality is concerned.

My review is mostly based on the comparison with Pioneer 1900MP player that I owned previosly.

Pros:
Great sound quality.
The cheapest among the great brands such as Pioneer, Sony, Alpine, Kenwood itself,..etc.
Plays various formats esp wma. This played wma files (each 2hr duration) that wasn't recognized by my old pioneer.

Pause button - My old player had it only in the remote control. To stop the music in my old player, I either had to hold the power key few seconds or change it to AUX mode.
btw this (KDC-MP145) does not come with remote control, however I don't need one for something that I can reach with my hands!

Cons:
Couldn't read display during sunlight.
Control buttons (1-6) are a bit too small.
No power off button. Have to press SRC twice (from CD mode) to switch it off.
Audio controls where a bit confusing initially but now I got used to it.
Search operation - KDC-MP145 has got a "One folder level up" button, just like windows explorer, which is very useful when you play a music CD with complex sub folder system.

However most of the CDs that I have only has folders at one level. So to browse the folders, I have to press the Search button, then press "Folder level up" and turn the knob left or right to browse. My old pioneer had buttons for going folder up/down which would be more convenient for this situation. (btw the band button skips folder in Fwd direction).

How do you switch off demo mode on a kenwood KDC-237 car stereo?

I bought a car that has this stereo in it but it has been left in demo mode. Ive looked at the manual but it doesnt tell me much. Does anyone know?

press and hold the small red button above volume, until you get to the set up menu, then its somewhere in the options, I cant remember any further than that sorry

actually read here it explains it better than me lol
