JVC KD-SX980 Car CD / MP3 Player

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 player jack on the front of it and plug my Creative Zen player into it with a short cord. 60 gigs of music and this player plays all my songs and books on cd too. This stereo also has an easy detatchable face if you ever park in an unsafe part of the city. It also plays cdrs with about 50 songs on each as long as they are mp3 format. I have not experimented with ID tags at all nor have I experimented with other players yet, but if my Zen ever dies then I will. The player also does not skip when I hit speed bumps or potholes.

I like the color of it and the scrolling text is easy to read to my eyes anyway.

The clock is also easy to read and keeps good time.
