Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The JVC XL-PM30 is a portable CD/MP3 player which will play audio CDs, CD-R/RW discs and MP3/WMA files. The dot matrix display shows all pertinent information, including track, title and ID3 tag information. With the three-key headphone remote control, it is possible to take care of important player functions while away from the player. The player runs on either alkaline or rechargeable batteries (both not included.) With the low battery alert, keeping ahead of run-down batteries is a cinch. When playing CDs, you can expect twenty-two hours of battery life; while listening to MP3 encoded CDs, you can expect fifteen hours of battery life. With the forty-five second CD anti-skip protection (140 seconds for MP3 files), the XL-PM30 is a good choice for runners and walkers. The anti-shock system also might interest users who will use the player in conjunction with a vehicle's cassette player. JVC has integrated a hyper-bass sound system to enhance the overall listening experience, thus helping counter the tendency of headphones to run bass-low. The twenty track programmable memory will allow a listener to individualize a MP3-formatted CD, perfect for an extra hard workout. Additionally, if you connect the player to a stereo, the twenty programmed tracks will keep you listening for a couple of hours. With the included AC adapter, there is the option for unlimited player use: another key feature for those connecting this player to a home stereo. Other features of the player include: hold, resume, repeat and random play. The color is a sleek and modern silver finish; this housing is also heat-resistant.

Highly Recommended!!

JVC's XL-PM30 is more than just a CD player, although it is a perfectly fine CD player. The XL-PM30 can also play MP3 and Windows Media Audio files.

The XL-PM30 has a very clear display that will show MP3 text with ID3 tag, segment, track, and title data. The CD player has the usual assortment of playback features: repeat, intro scan, and random play, in addition to a 20-track program memory.

This is a very stable player with 45 seconds of antiskip protection for a CD and an incredible 140 seconds for an MP3 disc. It would take a massive earthquake to disrupt the XL-PM30. Designed with efficiency in mind, it will playback CDs for 22 hours or MP3 discs for 15 hours with alkaline batteries installed.

It comes with very comfortable headphones, which are actually a neckband with a wrap-around style and attached remote control. The headphones sound good, although the Hyper Bass provided a nice boost to the lower frequencies.

This is a very functional player that is ready for all of the best sounding formats.
