DVD systems
I've had a lot of decks, but multimedia and video decks are new to me. Can anyone recommend any decks i.e. kenwood, clairon, sony, panasonic? I'm looking for dvd,cd,mp3 in a single deck. I noticed lots of system configuration with addded dvd players, but for now want something in a single package so I can understand how it works.

Right now, the best DVD/CD/MP3 player out there is the Clarion VRX925VD. You can also look at the Pioneer line and the Alpine Line. For the Pioneer and Alpine, I can't give you an exact model number. I have the VRX925VD and I love it.

Clairon
I have not had any problems with scan lines on my display. Scan lines only comes from how you have your system setup (what you have it connected to or that you have a weak video signal coming from the video source to the deck.) I use all stinger video and audio cables and I have not had any problems. Another way you could go is getting the Clarion VRX815 deck, this is only a cd player and get an external Clarion DVD player for about the same price these days. You know, get something like the Clarion VRX815 cd player and get the external Clarion DVS9755z DVD player. This would have been my second choice if I didn't get the VRX925VD.
If you are getting scan lines just playing DVD's from the deck, you might want to get it checked out, could be something wrong with the display. That is if it brand new, over time scan lines might start to come up but that is common for liquid crystal displays.

scan lines
Thanks for your help. I've been doing more research on car multimedia video and its getting interesting while more and more time consuming trying to piece together a good combination. I'm glad you enjoy your clarion. I'm highly considering getting one now because of your replies. Much appreciated!

Scan Lines
Not a problem, if you are considering getting something else. You might want to look at the Pioneer line and or the Alpine line as well. I have a friend that has the Pioneer DVD display unit and he loves his and has had no problems with it. Just more to think about, good luck and good hunting.

vrx935vd
I purchased the vrx935vd. Its a great unit. It has the inputs for a gaming console as well, incase people were interested. The unit has much options and is really a complete package. So far I have one complaint about it. The second unit that needs to be hid is big. So make sure you compensate space.

Hi thanks for the advice, what do you mean 2nd unit? I have 2 din deck (GMC Safari) maybe that'll do?

2 decks.
The vrx935vd has a hideaway unit. It wouldn't go in your second din. Its a unit that has all the amplifier and video in out plugs. The deck then connects to the hideaway unit.

VRX935VD Problems
I have had a 935VD(Clarion) for about 6 months now, and i decided to add headrest monitors. After i did the physical installation, i moved onto the wiring (obviously). The way i decided to hook the power up was to tap into the accessory power feeding the brain of my 935VD - that may have been a bad idea, but whatever, i did it. Anyway, when i was installing it i accidently grounded the accessory wire and blew the accessory fuse under the hood. Thats fine, i just finished wiring it up and replaced the fuse after completion. The problem is that when i turn the car on now, the deck will not go on. On the deck - in its closed position - all the buttons light up, but the front display does not go on, and it acts like it is off (the eject button works but it will not take a CD in). I was wondering if you guys have any suggestions. I would apprecaite it. Right now im nervous that i fried the brain, but i where it was grounded was between the battery and the brain, so it should not have done n e thing to it... who knows...

Hi...do you or anyone else know if this unit (VRX935VD) plays SVCDs? I burned a bunch of music videos in SVCD format and tried it but it says "ERROR" on the screen when I try to play it. Am I not burning the cds properly? Do I need to create a mini-dvd or just burn the videos onto a DVD for it to work? Any ideas?
