I was wondering are there any DVD recivers... that dont have screens that you can put Mp3s on and the reciver will be able to play them


just like the CD mp3 but using a DVD instead

 

Yes, there are many, but they tend to me on the more expensive spectrum. EVery company (90%) make one.

 

i see some that say DVD, CD, CD-rw, mp3

But im not sure if i can put the Mp3s on the DVD and have it read them...
im hoping so cause this would be great for me.

thanks

 

Oh, thats what you meant.....gotcha. I believe they can, but let me call Alpine and make sure. Ill get back to you.

 

I've been in search for this over a year. To be exact, I am looking for a DVD in-dash head-unit (HU), without a screen, that can play MP3 music files recorded in DVD-ROM format on a DVD-R or DVD+R media. I tried these without success:

Panasonic CQ-DVR592U
Alpine DVA-7996
Pioneer DVH-P5000MP
JVC KD-DV5000
Boss DVD7000
Blaupunkt DVD-ME3

Lately, some minor noname brand HU's start appearing on EBay that claim this feature. One of them, made by Emerson model DV-X2205, is supposedly do this. But, I cannot find anyone locally who sells this brand so that I cay try.

This is mind-boggling to me for the fact that the DVD HU's all can read DVD and they all play MP3 on CD-R. All they have to do is to disable the the restriction without any hardware requirement to support this feature, yet no major car audio manufacturer is doing that. I am convinced that this is just a marketing restriction or a brainless oversight because some cheap home DVD decks and a portable DVD player (SONY MPD-AP20U) already support this.

Anyone, please post if you have any information on this! If you have a deck that you think that may work, please PM me. I can send you DVD's with MP3 to try.

 

Bump--anybody with info?

 

I looked into this exact same problem a few months ago and came up with just about the same thing you have.

Nothing by the major brands.

A crap load of e-bay auctions, but no reviews on any of it.

I'd be very interested if anyone finally get's a good answer to this.

Ideally, I'd like to get a DVD based head unit which also does 5.1 channel MP3s. That would be pimp.

 

there are no 5.1 mp3s. mp3 is stereo.

 

Thank you mr-know-it-all.

Ok, now normally, I'm a pretty level headed guy. But this just annoys me. I KNOW FOR A FACT that there is 5.1 MP3s, because I have some one my computer. If you took 2 seconds to Google "mp3 5.1" you'd see a few thousand links to the subject.

I can't stand people who chime in on issues they don't know, or just "assume" the answer.

 

bump!

Anyone have/use a desk that can play MP3's recorded on DVD-R's yet?
