By T. Givens
I have a large 100 watt stereo setup that consists of five JVC components and two pairs of speakers. I bought this system as something I could play easily when I wasn't doing "serious" listening.It was a surprise. Not only do the little 3.19 inch speakers give adequate volume for casual listening, they also sound great. JVC's circuitry gives very reasonable bass, along with clear highs. You would think you were at least listening to two-way speakers with six inch woofers, not these small cubes.I have not tried, and have no plans for using its DVD capability as yet, so I can't review that feature. I can vouch that the audio is very good, the unit controls and the remote are easy to use with a logical set-up, and the entire system has the feel and look of high quality.My only disappointment is that it has audio "in" RCA jacks, but not audio "out". So I can't connect to a recording deck. For me, this is minor.Review the features and specs to see if this system might meet your needs. I have been very pleased with it.

By JK
Sound quality is excellent, ton of features (plays almost every music format there is, not to mention DVDs), compact and aesthetically pleasing. However, the unit itself is very noisy during disc play. A loud high pitch whirring noise from the CD motor can be heard over low to medium volumes. You'd have to pretty much set to high volumes when playing music or movies if you want to drown out any of the noise coming from the CD unit. If you can live with the noise, this is a good buy, nothing else compares when it comes to the available features. But beware, the inability of the unit to control disc noise may be why it's so affordable.

By A. Strubinger
Pros:1) Sound Quality;2) Programable Volume level for wake-up alarm setting;2) Compact Design;Cons:1) Remote is too complicated for ease of use;2) Display setting reverts back to system default anytime a button is pressed which requires the display to change (example: I set the display to show the time while a CD is being played. I then decide to turn up the volume but in doing so, the volume level is displayed while the volume is adjusted. Once the display does back, instead of going back to the time (which is what I set it to prior to changing the volume) it goes back to showing the CD playback info (track, playback time, etc);3) AND THIS LAST REASON IS THE REASON WHY i WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER ONE OF THESE... playback of CDs and DVDs is mechanically noisy. The volume has to be set on at least 20 for you to overpower the sound of the spinning CD/DVD. It makes for an uncomfortable drifting off to sleep.In my opinion the CONS outweigh the PROS so look elsewhere for a better product. This one will be a disappointment.
