User comments: Matthew J. Hunt: Unit was originally tagged at $269.96. I bought it (actually two) for $135.00 at the Wal-Mart in LaVale MD. A few days later they reduced it to $65.00 - the difference of which Wal-Mart credited back to me. My friend who works there said that it's very likely that they will reduce it further perhaps even to less than $50.00. These are, of course, brand-new, unopened items. They just haven't sold well. I ordered the CD-changer (10-disc) for this particular unit for $199.00 from HQ Audio. The Excedio changer is not FM modulated, rather it connects via a single DIN cable. Their URL is http://www.hqaudio.com. 'Excedio' is apparently the top line of Sanyo mobile audio and fairly new. As I'm sure you guys have noticed, the 'support' for MD stuff has been a bit lacking, but I talked to Sanyo to find a retailer to buy the changer and they knew the unit perfectly. Dec 21, 1999: I called the Wal-Mart in LaVale MD and the $65 price is correct, though they said there was only one left right now. -eaw
Reported by Ken (09.04.01 20:39:59): Disc Error/Ejecting Discs I bought two Sanyo MDR-4 car decks from Wal-Mart back when they were clearing them out for $65 each. The first one worked great for six months or so and then started giving me disc errors and ejecting the discs. This happened with every disc I tried, prerecorded or otherwise. I swapped it out with the other one I bought (I bought two because they were so cheap), and the second one started doing the same around six months later. Beware.
