it really is an impressive deck i had a 8443, but for some odd reason it wont read CD's anymore, im thinkin of sending it in, instead of buying a new deck. many options, more than i knew what to do with.It is a 2004 model. I bought it new in 2005- paid around $500. I cannot believe that these things are not holding there value like they used to. This is a top notch competition ready deck.
