Want the functionality of an in-car navigation system without the high price tag? Then check out the E-iSERVE Area Shot feature on Eclipse's CD3000 CD player. Included software lets you download point-to-point destination details from the internet, load the route data into the stereo on a CD-R/RW disc, and then display direction arrows and text information on the CD3000's faceplate.

The CD3000 does a good job in the music department, too, with a powerful onboard amp and hands-on audio controls that ensure great sound from all your recordings. Choose from four preset tone curves, or use the 3 tone controls to create your own custom curve. The motorized, slide-open face sports a 3-color display to fit in with any interior style.

If system building is your goal, three sets of high-powered preamp outputs offer convenient connections and great sound quality for your external amps and subs. You even get frequency filters for optimizing system performance, as well as subwoofer controls for front seat bass adjustments.

You can play discs that you've loaded with up to 10 hours of MP3 and WMA music files. If radio's your thing, controls for an optional SIRIUS satellite radio make it easy to put 120+ channels of music, news, sports, and entertainment at your fingertips. Add an optional HD Radio tuner for AM that sounds like today's FM, and FM that sounds almost like a CD.
