I bought my system a couple months ago and I still can't believe how powerful it is. I live in a dorm and there's students here with stereo systems 2 to 3 times bigger than mine but is no match the JVC. I've connected the system to my PC for itunes and the sound is unbelievable!!! Really, U couldn't ask for more BASS. It's definitely loud enough although it could use a couple surround sound speakers to prevent the vocals from being drowned by the bass(When Bass Level is at Max). I'll probably upgrade next year only for the appearence of the next model. I hope this review was helpful because this system is definitely a winner!!!!

I just bought this system to listen to my XM radio, CD collection, radio, and everything else. Controls are easy to use after a few minutes with the manual. The sounds is great and it looks cool! It is small enough to fit on a desk or dresser if you are limited on space, yet the sound fills the largest of rooms. It sounds good at low volume as well as a higher one. The added features of USB, RCA inputs, and DVD player make this a deal at twice the price.

I just got my JVC HX-D77 compact component system today, I still cant believe this system, has this much bass capacity & If you are looking for a MONSTER BASS & crisp sound, look no further & get this system today!

this 540-watt mini monster replaced my 1000-watt Philips surround sound system. it's just that aesthetic. i need bass if i want something euphonious. sure, the philips system delivers an allright 5.1 dolby digital sound system [especially when the rear speakers are about several inches away from the back of your head] but there's just no power bass. that's the problem with most home theatre systems... they're weak. with the exception of BOSE, of course. but they range anywhere from $600-$3000. and most of them don't even work! but that's another review. anyways, the Philips home theatre system is dull compared to the JVC stereo system. it has power bass [great for all 14 lines of schwarzennegar in 'T2'] and it's the only stereo system i know of that can actually play-back DVD discs. you don't have to hook this system up to your old dvd player just to get great sound and less shelf space. one thing i also like about this system is that, instead of having to reach behind the tv to plug in my xbox and get medicore sound, i plug it in through the stereo system and get a s**tload of dynamic, explosive, meticulous sound.

Not only is the bass so deep and rich that it's scary, but the other features like the dvd audio/ video playback, make this worth 2x more it's retail value. just insert your dvd's, connect to your tv, and you've got an all-in-one entertainment system w/ surround sound for a great price. You'll love it...your neighbors probably won't ;)

When I first got this system, the CD player seemed to take a long time to play any CD that I put in it. It kept displaying "reading" for about 3 minutes or more before it would ever play the CD. The problem got worse and worse and anytime I power up the system now it gets stuck on "reading" with or without a CD in it. Without a CD it gets stuck on "no disc in CD#1", CD#2, etc. and won't switch to AM or FM, or do anything but stay locked up in this mode. I contacted JVC via email and they told me to clean the CD player with a CD cleaner disc, but this is a brand new out of the box unit and it is not in need of any cleaning. I got no further assistance from JVC other than this scripted response read from a que card statement and runaround. I contacted the seller and they more or less told me that it was out of their hands because it's past their 15 day return policy and good luck getting it fixed. I am still working on getting a local JVC service center to fix this problem but they are closed on vacation right now. I definitely would not ever buy another one of these or anything else from JVC after this (as this was my first JVC purchase). After doing some investigating on the internet, I found that this problem is quite common on this model as well as other JVC models and has been so for years now and they don't do much to fix it or give their customers any satisfaction. I do regret buying this piece of junk now. It's too bad, because when it did work, it sounded pretty good.

Quality, full-featured CD/DVD player with heavy, powerful speakers. 18 surround combinations. No true equalizer is the only drawback. Five individual CD/DVD thin-racks. Twin 185watt subs. The sound is very clear and the remote is nice. It can even boost the center channel when playing DVDs to better isolate voices in loud movies. All in all a fine option for a budget surround DVD system.

I was recently in the market for a stereo unit and having been a long time fan of JVC products, discovered the HX-D77 "mini" system. Realistically speaking there isn't anything "mini" about it. This stereo fit exactly where I needed one in both size as well as functionality. Unfortunately it seems to have been discontinued not long after it was released. I stumbled across a used one for sale halfway across the U.S. from me, took a chance, knew it was missing the remote, and I must say the stereos quality more than erased my worries. Craftmanship is amazing, sound quality is unbeatable. I needed this system for an analog setup I'm trying to achieve out of being dis-satisfied with the newer "HD" setup. Funny how we're going backwards in technology instead of forward, and trust me, this stereo is the best of the best in the good 'ole days of electronics.

This is a great product. It sounds great on cds or dvds. Read the manual before you use the product and it will make sense of the remote. This is the third JVC stereo I have had and the sound is better then any other brands I have heard. My only complaint is the subwoofer never completely turns off so if you live in apartment with really thin walls turn this down to low so the neighbors don't complain.

I have wanted this specific stereo for a long time, how ever I was really never able to find it for sale for a decent price. When I finally found it and purchased it I was a little disappointed. The picture on Amazon led me to believe that it would be a black unit, however it is gray. That is no real problem, just mildly annoying. However the problem is that the sound is not as clear as I was expecting. The gigatube bass creates tons of bass, but if you turn it down as to avoid knocking things off of shelve the sound gets very distorted. The only other problem is that the USB pc link will not allow you to use the controls on the stereo to control your music.
