Clarion DB456MC CD Player Review


Clarion DB456MC is a product from the stable of the Clarion Company. Clarion Co. is a company from Japan which manufactures car audio systems, automotive navigation systems, AutoPCs, visual equipment, bus equipment, and communication equipment. Its car audio systems are very popular among car stereo enthusiasts. The Clarion DB456MC is a product from the Clarion Co. that is aimed at both the domestic market as well as the US market. Given the high usage of cars in the West especially the US, the Clarion DB456MC is generating a lot of interest. It’s a flat rectangular system with front end interface. It has a LCD screen with a blue display that gives play details to the user. It is centrally located with buttons and dials on both sides of the system. The system has features like the Magna Bass EX, 18 FM / 6 AM Presets, 2ch RCA Line Level Output. Its play system is the CD-R/RW.

The buttons are not exactly user friendly, but the remote is well designed and makes up for this flaw. The lighting display holds up well at night but not in the day. The lighting display would look good in the day if it had more vibrant colors and a stronger output. Dancing lights are still a big feature for car stereo enthusiasts. The system is good for people who want to record their own music in their own order. This saves the trouble of carrying a clutch of CDs or the effort of searching for your favorite CD when you need to play that song. The owner can make his own music collection as per his choice and not be a slave to his or anybody’s CD collection. The music catcher facility is easy to use and operate. Music enthusiasts who use their choice of music as a form of personal expression will love this feature. It’s priced at $529 with second hand versions available at lower prices. It’s a good system from a company that is supplying to big car manufacturers like Honda, Nissan and others.
