Input on JVC DVD/CD/MP3 head unit
Input on JVC DVD/CD/MP3 head unit Hi everyone 
Well, when I was younger I knew all the models of all the stuff worth having, now I have way too much other stuff to keep up with so I've fallen way behind. I got a Duramax Crewcab now & I want to add an inexpensive A/V system to it. I really don't want to buy new speakers. I do want to get a cheap screen off ebay so i can watch movies on my lunch break at work. I'm there 6 days a week & this way I can burn my stuff from my Tivo & watch it on my lunch breaks to keep up with my HBO series 
Anyhow, I came across this one & it seems to do lots of stuff. I was thinking about getting an Ipod or something but this thing will play a DVD full of MP3s which to me is cheaper than a seperate Ipod & also foots the bill for the DVD player since it supports DVD-R format.
Anyone use this unit or one similar to it?

The picture probably won't be that good anyway since I'm going to use a cheapO screen off eBay most likely. I'm not trying to build a home entertainment center, just something I can watch a movie on now & then at lunch time or when I'm stuck somewhere in the truck. I'm not trying to spend $1000+ on some touch screen DVD player with a built in flip out screen. I was just going to get an inexpensive DVD player & a seperate flip out screen that goes for around $100-200. The fact that this one played MP3's off DVD's what what appealed to me since I was also planning on getting an hard drive mp3 player later this year.

i am not a big fan of JVC. i think pioneer is one of the good ways to go but it will be expensive.
u think about maybe buying a cheap laptop with a dvd player built in so that u can watch your movies on that. u get a much bigger screen and u can take it anywhere with u. just an idea, thought it would be better for what u are looking to do.

I personally like Pioneer myself, I had a few of them back in the day & loved them!
