deh-p7400 vs deh-p740 seeking your advice

[Unregistered]

I know the 740 has more pre-outs, a slightly different color, and a skydiving screen saver instead of racecar, and 2 year instead of 1 year warranty. But besides that, are there any differences (better sound quality, less skipping, quality)?

I can get the 7400 for $220 and the 740 for $280. I am not planning to use the preouts so that doesn't really matter. Any better cd/mp3 players in this price range?

I was Unregistered. The deh-p7400mp is for sale at http://www.lgdsuperstore.com for $219.95 + shipping. I didn't but it because shipping was 32 bucks for me, so I ordered the mp919 for $329 + $12 shipping, good deal I thought--no warranty though. Anyone know how to make Kenwood THINK you deserve a warranty even though you didn't buy from an authorized dealer? Thanks alot!

Hey, I went and got the 7400. It seems to work just fine for me. I don't need all the preouts. I wanted clean clear sound, and don't need the loudness and extra extra bass. I can get that still if I want to. I think I got the Pioneer unit for about 260 including shipping and handling. It retails for 375. Ended up just paying the 260 for better service and the 1 year warranty. Sometimes it better to pay a little extra for better customer service. The person who installed the unit for me had a premier and they basically look and do the same from my perspective. He just feels extra special cause his says Premier instead of Pioneer.

THE PREMIER DECKS ARE SUPED UP VERSIONS. THEY HAVE MAYBE 3 TO 5 DIFFERENT[iMPORTANT] FEATURES.THE VOLTAGE ON THE OUTPUTS ARE MORE POWERFUL. IF YOU'RE A REGULAR CONSUMER, GET THE CUTE REG. PIONEER DECK. BUT IF YOU WANT TO COMPETE WITH THE BIG BOYS FOR A LOW PRICE, GO WITH THE PREMIER...PEACE

premier units are NO different in the new models in older years yeah there were differances but now they are none thats y the price diff is only like 20 bucks, i was talking to the owner of the stereo shop today and he told me that the only differance now is the pre outs are gold plated (woo hoo) and you have a 2 yr instead of 1 year warranty. in years past you had more options and more screen savers but now you just get the word premire instead of poineer in the middle of your HU.
