hey guys I have a eclpise cd3404 that I use in my podium. It works great except for the display is out. You can barely see what it says.

It is a couple years old and I know the warranty is out, I was just wondering if any of you guys have had similiar issues with an Eclipse H/U.

I like the unit and dont want to get rid of it but it makes thing difficult when it is sunny outside.

I really have a love/hate relationship with Eclipse. Does the 3404 look like the cd5000? I ran that deck maybe two years ago and it was a huge pain in the ass when it was sunny outside. Display was definitely hard to read. It died after 9 months anyways. I prefer the older Eclipse h/u's. 8053 FTW.

I would try to get the new Kenwood Excelon KDC-X693. We just got them in today, and I've already sold 4. I setup a waiting list for them. Bad ass for the price. Time alignment and everything at $199
