Sanyo FXCD-550 CD/Cassette Receiver
The Sanyo FXCD-550 CD/Cassette Receiver is an almost perfect blending of old reliability and new technology, bringing a new range of options to drivers when it comes to the range and quality of sound played in their vehicles.
With today’s new technology and the increasing drive toward digital technology, it can be very difficult to find a car stereo that will allow you to play your old cassettes (there are some groups that just don’t sound the same when you take them out of that grainy, old-style recording!) while also allowing you to enjoy your CDs, iPod and other digital media sources without spending a small fortune in adapters.
The Sanyo FXCD-550 CD/Cassette Receiver comes with an in-dash receiver complete with built-in amplifier, a standard sized cassette playback and CD player designed to play CDs, CD-Rs and CD-RWs, which means no matter where you got your CD from you can enjoy it in the comfort of your car.
The cassette player is also the standard size to be compatible with the adapters previously used to allow the owners of cars not equipped with CD players to connect to their portables, which (coincidentally) is also the same size as the headphone slot in your iPod and other digital media.
The major downside of this unit is that although it is compatible with the cassette tape adapter for CD players, there are no direct auxiliary inputs for digital media sources, requiring a little extra effort and hardware to play your mp3 files. Otherwise, the public opinion of this car stereo has been overwhelmingly positive. Drivers love its ease of use, clear, crisp sound and versatility.
