Okay but annoyances overcome good points,
By
This review is from: JVC THC4 Home Theater System with 5-Disc DVD Player (Electronics)
The sound from this system is very good. It is easy to use and has multiple inputs. Set up is typical of these units.However, the annoyances and idiosyncrasies overcome the excellent sound quality. First, this unit uses the same basic tuner/DVD play as the THC40, THC50 and THC60. These comments would apply to all these models. The DVD often looses it's place, even with the "Resume" feature turned on. It does this whenever you turn the unit off or switch to a different input, say your cable-TV or VCR. This is very annoying, especially when I have to repeatedly sit through the endless copyright notices. The on-screen prompts never display which DVD is playing. Minor but yet another example of a poorly thought out design. The "Universal Remote" isn't. It will only operate *some* JVC components. For example, it will not operate a two-year JVC TV! Headphone usage: You cannot connect headphones without cutting off the speakers. I have tried and there is just no other way than to use the headphone jack in front. Unplug the headphones and it takes 5-6 seconds to switch the speakers back on. Sometimes when listening to music, I want put on the wireless headphones while working around the house, but I do not want to wear them all the time. Maybe I just want to run into the kitchen and do not want to miss any dialog. Even with this limitation, there is a killer problem. Headphones will only work for a few minutes before. Then, without warning you get ear-splitting hiss. Unplugging and plugging in the headphones corrects this but what is the point? At first I thought my headphones had died so I bought another pair. It was not the headphones. Headphones are useless with this unit. So, if you always watch a DVD from start to finish, never use headphones, and own nothing but recently manufactured JVC products, I think you will be happy. If you do not, I think you will like the sound, but will be often annoyed. |
