With the advent of digital audio components and MP3 music encoding, it's just been a question of time before the standard audio system would include digital storage. According to JVC, the time is now. The unit is the NX-HD10 an integrated CD-Hard Disk Drive audio system- the perfect marriage of high fidelity, advanced computer technology, digital music recording, and micro component convenience. The NXHD10 boasts a 25 watts-per channel micro music system that includes a tuner, a CD player, a 10-gigabyte hard drive like those found inside your computer. The hard drive allows you to store over 200 hours of playback (about 250 CDs) that you can listen to in any order, sequence, or genre at the touch of a button. Forget about carrying CDs with you when you move your stereo from one place to another. Starting now, your music is "custom built" inside your machine. Not only is it easier to take your music with you, but with NX-HD10 you can efficiently sort through your vast collection electronically. Search by artist, by genre, or do a text search for a specific song. If you just want to hear something you like, ask for a list of the ten most heard albums in your collection. Recording CDs onto the drive is easy, done either in the background as you play, or four times as fast in the dub mode. In addition, the NS-HD10's tuner auto-records the most recent 30 minutes of radio programming automatically, so you can always catch that last song you heard on the radio and listen to it again.
