I do have to agree with Dester. I'm on my second Alpine and I think I can
count the number of times mine skipped on one hand.... before it broke...
the lasers are good, but they wear out fast... I went to a car stereo
seminar with a car stereo salesman buddy of mine and all the guy talked
about was the shotty lasers Alpine has been putting in it's newer
players... My old Alpine went through 2 lasers before I sold it, and my
current one is on it's second laser since I've had it. But it does sound
better than the Kenwoods I've heard, and it's under a 4 year warrantee =)
so it can break all it wants =)
