I recently purchased this JVC shelf system and was quite impressed with the sound, which is as big as the unit itself. Aside from its bulky appearance, the system delivers clean, crisp, rich sound, and when the volume is pumped up, you can feel the vibrations, which are awesome. I hooked up my i-pod to the auxiliary input and this, too,delivered beautiful sound. I also played a dvd audio CD, which sounded fantastic. I have not used the DVD features yet. I am using this primarily for audio purposes, but it is nice to know it can be hooked up to a television monitor to view/listen to dvds. Be aware that the auxiliary jack requires a miniplug cable, with a single plug on each end. A "Y" cable will not work with this unit. The cable is only a few dollars. My only complaint is that parts of the user manual are very poorly written and offer extremely unclear and confusing instructions, such as how to program songs from various discs, which I had to figure out myself. Clear, easy to understand instructions is the very least JVC could do for its customers. Despite this, the unit is well worth the money and you will not be disappointed.

Talk about your boom box, this is the first one ever that really means it. It shakes my house and rocks my yard, full volume and it's clear as a bell. Utterly crappy manual, poorly laid out and very confusing, but who cares, it gives you enough info to figure everything out and away you go. Way kool flashing red front panel lights and LCD display. Way to big and garish, but it sounds the way it looks big, stong, loud and clear. The boom box equivalent of a 1973 Caddy Eldorado, way to big and flashy, but no bull under the hood.

I TOO AM HAVING PROBLEMS RECIEVING BOTH AM AND FM STATIONS

AND I ALSO TRIED VARIOUS ANTENNAS WITH NO LUCK. THIS IS SERIOUS,

AS IT IS A BIG PART OF WHY I BOUGHT THE MACHINE IN THE FIRST PLACE. I CANNOT RECOMEND THIS MACHINE IF THIS PROBLEM IS NOT SOLVED

The only thing I can get to work on the radio is the CD player. The CD player has great sound.

The FM Antenna has a lot of static. I bought an amplified antenna by Terk and had to return it. It was just as bad as the FM Antenna. Has anybody found a better antenna for this radio? Where can I buy a mini plug to fit the AUX input? I want to hook up my Sirius radio.

I'm going to admit I don't own this, but I think it's important for JVC to know WHY I would never buy something like this.

I come from the days when stereos were made with wood cabinets and blue fluorescent lights, and had a rich, warm sound, and two tape inputs. This monstrosity is seriously out of place in my decor. I prefer something that sounds good and looks good for a good price. Good sound equipment shouldn't be for high-income audiophiles only. I love music, too.

I am shopping to replace the horrible plastic TEAC unit I was given four years ago, but I'd never buy something that looks like the back end of a space shuttle. I tend to be brand loyal, and I've had a wonderful black JVC TV for 5 years now, and a trouble-free black JVC DVD player for three years, but I'm afraid I can't support design like this. I'm looking elsewhere, but at least, if JVC is listening, they now know why they lost a customer this time.
