Default which JVC deck should i get?

KD-DV4200 or KD-DV6200?
the price difference aint much from ebay, around 40-50 bucks more for the 6200, i basically just need something that plays dvds since my old KD-DV5000 got stolen
theyre all basically the same right? still plays dvds..i guess the only difference is the looks?
tryin to see if i can get any feedback before purchasing one of these
also my old deck had a "dual zone" feature, not really sure WTH that is, but i dont think its anything significant?

Or go get an Alpine

I have the 6200 - I got it about a month ago, and like it. (I haven't taken the time to figure out the dual zone feature)

Before you buy that check out the kenwood KDV-412 pretty nice unit it seems but just a little more of a price tag.

I've been looking at the KD-DV6200 today (that's how I found this thread ) and if I can find good reviews I think that I am going to get it. I was thinking about the KD-AVX2 which is also a pretty great unit but I don't really like the way that it sits in the console.

Anyways, the main difference that I noticed between the DV4200 and the DV6200 is that the 6200 gives you 20rms and 50 watt peak. The 4200 only gives 17rms and 45 peak. The 6200 also has a built in USB slot and I dont think that the 4200 has one.

If you get one of those, get the DV6200. And let me know if you like it because I might pick one too

Here's a few pics of my 6200 installed, let me know if you have any specific questions about it:



face off:



btw: I still had the plastic protective film on...didn't want to scratch it during the install.

I have the JVC KD-AVX2... hands down my favorite of all time... I had the 4200 and hated it because of the output options.

The 6200 looks like it has everything except the screen, I personally love the screen on the AVX2 since I "listen" to movies most days on the way to work and the 3.5 screen is perfect for a peak every now and again, so I turn off the other sources and roll...
