Nice!
After your claim case, no happy with the Magentis le huh?

Enjoy the ride ya!!

I love my Magentis too! Was rather sad to let it go as it had performed superbly during these past 4 years.

But I think my fate and luck with it is not good, so got a number of accidents and always tio aim by birds and cats. :(

Any reason in particular you chose this model over the 3450 or 4450?

Not to pour cold water, it's an individual thing ... personally I don't find any additional features on the 8450 justifying the price premium.
understood...

but they throw in the iphone 5 cable ....if i am not wrong the cable cost $120~200 depend where u buy...

that means my set is just 1k...

they don't allow trade in for other model that include 2 or 4series...
don't think got 3...
only this...

even i buy the 2 series outside cheapest i think $500...plus the stupid iphone cable $150....

they shops sell me 'bao 'everything in it...

I don't know about Pioneer, but Alpine's iPhone connection is really a USB extension cable + an iPhone-to-USB cable. I'm guessing Pioneer's works in the same way - don't think you need a separate iPhone/iPod module like the older generation Pioneers, let me know if I'm mistaken. But if so, that cable isn't worth that much.

I'm currently using a pre-iPhone-compatible Pioneer though.

But if I was spending that much on a player I'd be looking at Alpine instead.

i upgrade to this model becos of iphone 5 lighting cable

reason becos i want to playback video ....
even with converter from 30 pin to lighting u can't playback video on my previous 2450...becos
all those model uses analog signal while lighting using digital signal...
