Phoenix to Los Angeles and Back on ONE Disc

bycaradoc Aug 19, 2002

Pros Excellent feature set for the price
Cons Limited to ID3v1 tags - other versions don't get read at all.
Recommended it? Yes

After I bought the Forester last August, I started shopping for a good MP3 CD player to replace the factory cassette deck. I hadn't upgraded the factory stereo because I knew I wanted an MP3-capable CD player, and the best that Subaru was offering was a mere six-disc changer.

For those... Read full review »

The Introduction:

Ever since the portable MP3 technology blew up a few years ago, I've wanted to have my music on the go. I tried numerous times, a portable CD MP3 player, a portable Iomega Hipzip digital audio player, etc, all of which failed me miserably in delivering the promise of... Read full review »

Pros great sound, excelent quality, lots of goodies and low price
Cons the remote may be considered too small
Recommended it? Yes

I was looking to buy a car mp3 player for a long time. First of all I was a Blaupunkt fan so far. Couple of friends told me JVC does make very good car audio but I had to have one to believe this …

First of all my price range was under 200 with shipping included and I was looking for... Read full review »

Pros Fast navigation, Directory shortcuts, Radio station labels, good power.
Cons Bogus spectrum analyzer like most receivers.
Recommended it? Yes

I just got the SX980 from Vanns.com. I've never seen a vendor rated that high on BizRate before (although the free ground shipping from Montana did take six days). I read all the reviews before buying, and now that I have the stereo installed I feel I have to tell people how ridiculous some of the... Read full review »

Pros Great Sound, looks good, Plays MP3 disks.
Cons Manual faceplate
Recommended it? Yes

This is one of my first product reviews. I have benefited greatly from others so I wanted to make my contribution. I started looking for a new player when my factory GM radio stopped playing CDs. I found this unit and an Aiwa unit for the same price on Crutchfield. I paid $229. The Aiwa unit had... Read full review »

Pros Easy to reprogram the clock for daylight savings.
Cons I wish the case for the detachable face had more foam inside it.
Recommended it? Yes

I think I have had this player for 9 years now. It has been dropped many times and been at 19F on one cold Seattle winters night. I took it to Burning Man and it survived and it was full of dust. Good designers or good testers not sure but I like this stereo and would buy JVC again. I like the mp3... Read full review »

The mp3 deck to get at the moment

bycaptm19 Nov 13, 2002
6 Helpfuls 7 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Lots of features for the price. Sounds and looks great.
Cons Display maybe too bright for some
Recommended it? Yes

A gorgeous deck! As an aging boomer, I am preferring that my electronics be functional and simple to use. This deck is both that and pleasing to look at without the silly graphics some others have. You should be looking at the road and not the deck. I've read that it's too bright for some but I... Read full review »

Features are vast and well implimented
