 Great for audio DVDs but BE WARNED... Apr 06, 2010
I am very happy with this stero, especially for the price.
I use my computer to burn audio DVDs that have nearly the same quality as CDs and can hold up to 50 hour (FIFTY HOURS!!!) of music.
This is great for replacing my old CD changer, which played only regular audio CDs (not mp3s) and held only 6 disks.
What a step up!
The only things I would warn folks about are that there isn't a lot of useful navigation on the dash display and navigation through albums is difficult unless you have the unit connected to a small monitor to the RCA jacks. If only I could plug it into my ipod and read the display on my ipod screen...
...but wait! I can plug my iPod into this unit via the AUX plug! What a nice feature.
Now, another problem I have with this unit is that though you can play a CD or DVD loaded with MP3s, the unit does not remember the place where you were when you turn off the unit and start up again. The only disks it will resume play on are regular audio CDs and audio DVDs. This is not such a big problem, though it takes a little while to assemble an audio DVD and I'd rather just be able to throw a disk with raw mp3 files in it. Oh well...
This leads me to the one final warning, not about the product per se, but about creating audio DVDs. When you create an audio DVD, be sure not to just drop your file folders into the burner program (I use Toast) and set it to burn. You may have metafiles like playlist files and other non-audio files. Be sure that only audio files (aif, wav, mp3, etc.) are in the folders you drop or it could create "phantom tracks" that the unit tries to play for the full time of the album but with no sound.

 Inexpensive but does not play DVD Nov 11, 2008
I bought several of these units for resale and sold a few without any complaints from the customers. However, I recently discovered that one of the units would not play DVD. It played CD's and MP3 discs but whenever the DVD is inserted the LCD continuously displayed "Reading" and then after a few minutes the player would eject the disc.
I agree with the other reviewer that even though the price is very attractive, the quality of these players is suspect. I will definitely not be purchasing any of these again. Boss is a relatively reliable manufacturer and I buy and sell some of their other products so I guess this one probably slipped past Quality Control.

Good only if you have an external monitor Jul 28, 2008
My unit turned out to be defective, so I had to return it. I didn't like it anyway, so I felt glad that I had a valid reason for returning it.
Main disadvantage with the unit is that, though it claims to play all kinds of media, it has an LED display. So, if you have MP3s (or DVDs) that you want to play, you will need an external monitor to browse through the files and directories. It also, looks cheap and it behaved cheap when I was trying to pull it out of the dash. It is definitely not made to be durable. I was glad to be rid of it.
On the other hand, installation was easy. I installed it on my Mustang without a trouble (I used a Metra 70-5511 Amplifier Integration Wiring Harness Adapter). Once I figured out which harness adapter to use for my car, installation was a breeze. However, as it is the norm with car stereos, the user manual leaves much to be desired.
The defect with my unit was that it wouldn't play any discs. It would spit out any disc that is inserted into it, after chewing on it for a few seconds.
I finally ended up with a Pyle PLDBT30U. It has its own short comings and is pricier than the Boss, but it has a 3" TFT touch screen. The audio quality on the Pyle is noticeably better than the Boss.
