Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The JVC XL-PV310 is a portable CD player which plays audio CDs, plus CD-R discs. The key feature to the PV310 is the included car kit. This kit comes with a cassette adaptor and a cigarette lighter DC adaptor, the two necessary accessories to make any personal CD player vehicle-ready. The forty-second anti-shock system is a huge plus when using the player either in the car or at the running/walking track. In fact, this sort of anti-shock system is good for any user who may encounter surprise jolts and vibrations while commuting, sitting in a coffee shop or studying in bed. The PV310 runs via the DC adaptor, the AC adaptor, or batteries. You can expect eleven hours of playback using normal alkaline batteries. To help save precious battery life, the player contains an auto power-off feature. With four play modes (normal, repeat, shuffle and twenty-track program) there are many options to enjoy the CD listening experience. Other notable features include: hold, resume, hyper-bass sound and a 1-bit D/A converter. The color is a sleek and modern silver/blue finish; this housing is also heat-resistant.

What's in the Box
JVC XL-PV310 personal CD player, AC adaptor, overhead stereo headphones, cassette adapter, cigarette lighter DC adapter, user's manual and a one year warranty.

This review is from: JVC-XL-PV310 Personal CD Player with Car Kit and 40 seconds of Anti-Shock Protection (Electronics)

I own a JVC CD PLayer that has been installed into every car I have owned (2) over the last 4 years. I LOVE IT!!! It has the antishock and I have to say I couldn't even tell you if it works b'cause I never had to use it, it's that GOOD. So, call me silly, but I am judging by my experience with this particular brand and it has been a GREAT experience. Therefore, I am buying this for my Mom, she has recently taken up Walking (for exercise)and this should make a GREAT christmas gift!!! Hope this helps all of you!!! Merry Christmas!!

This review is from: JVC-XL-PV310 Personal CD Player with Car Kit and 40 seconds of Anti-Shock Protection (Electronics)

I bought this JVP portable, basically because I wanted a good, name brand CD player and JVC seemed to be at the top of my thinking cap. I went to several places to look at CD portable players and for some reason, ended up at Sears (what a mistake) and purchased the JVC XLPV310 CD player for about $44.00, on sale. Took it out to my car, unpackaged it and hooked it up to play through my car cassette deck. The cassette adapter from JVC made several noises but played. The CD player would not play after loading a standard "pre-recorded" CD in the unit. Took it back in to Sears for an exchange, took 2 hours, then they gave me a new on just like the one I purchased earlier. Got it to the car and the CD would play in the unit, however, it made the worst noise as the CD played I have ever heard. Don't buy this one. It really stinks. Sound quality was poor at best and the earphones were a joke. Forget portable CD players and get an MP3 portable device that records and plays or get a MiniDisc portable recorder that records MP3's or standard MD's.

Looks good from where I sit...not so sure tho. I've been reviewing several portable cd players today & this looks like a good buy (as far as price goes), but I've got no clue if the brand is a goody or not. Sure hope someone else writes a review, too. :)
