3.0 out of 5 stars great sound,lousy pickup, August 22, 2007

I am not sure of the proper term for what happens when the laser reads the data CD but whatever...

This player is fantastic in sound quality and portability.

It has a nice hand strap and it's virtually skip-proof.

If I were to rate stars for the above-mentioned factors,it would be a solid *****!

The gripe I have w/ this player is that 2 out of 3 times that it is played,it refuses to "read" the CD. For what seems an eternity,it'll be searching for data and then give up with an "Error" message on the readout.I usually have to try to get it to work 4-5 times before success.

It also devours batteries,but I guess that is not so unusual.

I got so tired of it's problem reading (good,factory manufactured conventional)CDs,I threw in the towel and purchased a Panasonic from Amazon that has not arrived yet.

I'll keep the JVC for bedside use until it dies and use the Panasonic elsewhere;i have had real good luck w/ Panasonic products (all types,from electric shavers to cassette players, to cassette "walkmans",etc.)

So, the JVC has great sound,esp. thru a pair of Sennheisers...but it is frustrating to use.

I am always impressed with JVC products. This is an excellent, high quality CD player that is easy to use. The shape of the headphones was new to me but they are very comfortable. I am enjoying using this CD player very much and highly recommend it.
