Even Pioneer came out with a similiar thing, It had a wonderful feature to record from the same CD you are playing and Your CD's are recognized by the pre-installed Gracenote CDDB database and the names are filled automatically. It also had a Sony memory stick slot to play music directly from it. This HU was way ahead from the units available in that time. Was available for approx 35-40k at that time.

My close friend had this HU all the features were same to the
DEH-P9400MP which I had and they were the best sound HU I had ever owned of pioneer till now.
