Ural CDD
The user interface is not for everyone, but it's not difficult to use if you're comfortable say programming a VCR.
Every function can be accessed using the **** and button on the faceplate. The remotes are not required. I found the user interface to be very intuitive once I got used to it. I used one of the remotes for about a week when I first got the Ural, but I've used the faceplate exclusively since.
The user interface goes something like this. Normally, when playing music, the **** controls overall system volume and the left button is pause/mute. Click the **** and you enter a menu for whatever you're currently doing, e.g. if you're listening to the radio, you get a list of your favorite stations. Double-clicking the **** is usually a shortcut to the most common task, e.g. next track if listening to CD or MP3s. Holding down the **** is usually also tied to a common task, such as entering the file browser if you're listening to a disc.
All of the tuning and other settings are accessible through a tiered menu system that you can enter at any time by pushing in and turning the **** clockwise. From there, you can access all of the settings by scrolling and selecting. Double-clicking the left button acts as escape/back (single-clicking the left button is still mute/pause).
You can access a customizable "favorites" menu by pushing in and turning the **** counterclockwise. This is useful for accessing all your frequently-used functions without having to traverse through the multi-leveled menus. For example, if you really like to constantly adjust your T/A settings, you can T/A to your favorites menu so that it's always just a couple clicks away.
One of the neatest features is that you can save up to five different "styles", each with its own level, crossover, EQ, phase, and T/A settings. You can then switch quickly between styles to hear the differences. These styles (as well as almost all your other settings) are saved to memory and will not be lost if battery power is disconnected.
Anyhow, hope this helps.

Yea man, actually it sounds pretty simple, like you said it takes some getting used to.
Seems like a pretty sweet deck, does it use an external DC/DC converter like a 9255 or anything like that?
