    well, i have it installed and im playing with the settings. i love the display and the rubber around the control knob is a big improvment. i also love the independent 5 channel time alignment. i will get back later.

    Rubber around the volume know FTW! I really like that on my Eclipse CD8454, basically the whole knob was rubbery, except for the center.

    well after playing with it the imaging is dead nuts on. the sound quality is outstanding and it is a big step up from the x990. the 5 channel time alignment really helped alot and the ipod control is insane! just like having the ipod in your hand! its the best head unit i ever used, until next year. i will post pics later.

    I wish Kenwood would bring back the M.A.S.K. head units.
