Posted November 14, 200717 yr im lookin at these models: ddx7019ddx8019kvt-719kvt-819Was wondering if anyone has any experience with any of those units?
November 14, 200717 yr I have the DDX8019 with the Navi. It works great for me, what did you want to know about it specifically?
November 14, 200717 yr Author basically how you like it, pros and cons? how is the usb input? How are the features on it?
November 14, 200717 yr I don't think the processing features are very good but I don't use them. It has a built-in EQ which I also do not use. 5V preouts are a plus although higher would've been better. I use the USB input the most as I put all my music on to a flash drive. The way it sorts the files is weird, and when you turn on the unit you have to wait about 3min before you can change the song using the flash drive. The nav works great. It'll play just about anything ie. divx, xvid, DVD-Audio, etc. It took me a little while to learn how to use it but now it is no problem. For me, it does what it's supposed to do. Like I said though, I don't use any of the processing features as my Zapco DC Ref Amps have much better built-in processors. I hope that helps. If you have any other specific questions let me know.

How much was the navi?
November 15, 200717 yr What do you mean by the way it sorts the files is weird? how is the screen clarity? is it possible to turn the screen off while still playin audio? How much was the navi?It does not sort alphabetically or by ID3 tags. I have no idea how it sorts the files. I can name a file 01 but it'll show up almost at the end, and 04 might end up being first. The weird sorting is only when using my flash drive, with a MP3 disc it'll sort everything alphabetically. Screen clarity is pretty good. Nice and bright (adjustable) although I haven't really watched anything on it other than a few music videos. I don't think it's possible to turn the screen off at all unless you turn the entire unit off. It is a touchscreen so you need the screen on anyway. I don't know how much the navi was as I payed for everything at the same time, but it is Garmin based. Edited November 15, 200717 yr by B5I8
November 15, 200717 yr Author thanks again for all your help.last question, what are the things you dont like about the unit?
November 15, 200717 yr thanks again for all your help.last question, what are the things you dont like about the unit?Higher than 5V preouts would've been nice, more background skins, sorting my flash drive properly. Other than that, I like my H/U. Some people don't like the function of some of the buttons as well as the layout on the screen, but I'm used to it so it doesn't bother me in the least.
November 17, 200717 yr Author Zapco Amps like higher Volts.got yaone more thing can you be able to watch a movie and listen to music at the same time? not like headrest tvs but on the unit itself.
November 17, 200717 yr why do you need higher than 5v preout?Zapco Amps like higher Volts.Whatever. They are fine with 5 or even significantly less.
November 18, 200717 yr Author Another question, can you play movies off the usb port or is it just dvds
November 18, 200717 yr Another question, can you play movies off the usb port or is it just dvds??? no one answered since your question doesn't make sense. A usb port is an input.
November 18, 200717 yr one more thing can you be able to watch a movie and listen to music at the same time? not like headrest tvs but on the unit itself.I have no idea. I know you can display something else on another screen but I don't think on the unit itself.Another question, can you play movies off the usb port or is it just dvdsI've never tried that either.
