Ok, but has a bug I just received my unit a few days ago, and it is a good value for all of the features. As others have said, the bottom end is weak for a unit its size, but there also a bug in the USB directory system that makes it very difficult to use with USB sticks. The bug is that it doesn't read the directory tree properly, and when you work through the menu to a track, it ends up playing a completely different track.
This is with a 4GB stick formatted FAT32; I don't know how it works with F...

flexible but... the audio response goes down to maybe 90 hz. the hi
end is a bit better since it has dedicated tweeters.
this box is very flexible because it can play any type
of regular or compressed cd, usb thumb drive, radio,
and cassette. it will display the id3 tags, but not
regular cd text. there is buttons for sound eq but
they really only make the hi end flat or emphasized.
the volume and distortion is acceptable. the remote is
decent, you can turn it...

Junk! I wanted to get a portable, capable of playing MP3 CDs to listen to out by the pool. After doing much looking and research, I figured I'd give this JVC a try. I have a JVC home stereo that I love, and have always thought highly of JVC products. The boombox arrived today...and within three minutes of unwrapping it, I knew it would be going back!
I plugged it in and popped in an MP3 CD. Although my main intention for buying this was to listen to my MP3 audio bible and downloaded sermons,...

mediocre at best; poor mac support pros -
plays MP3s on USB drive or CD
portable
cons -
everything else
mediocre sound, especially muddy bass.
poor user interface for USB or CD
plays MP3 files in directory order, does not sort by name. Perhaps when you copy to a USB drive from windows, they get sorted this way, but when i do it on my mac, it seems to put the files in the directory in random order.
does not save position i...

Not to be touched with a barge pole. Sound from this unit is fair...nothing to call home about. In the Washington, DC where the station frequencies are quite crowded, tuning in to my favorite stations is impossible. My boss has an older Philips unit that tunes in with no problem. The units are separated by about 20 feet and are both sitting in windows on the same same side of the building. If you intend to use the radio, forget this unit.
