Summary: Unequaled Performance!
Review: This CD player takes the cake! It was the only one that played all my scratched CDs -- I took them to Circuit City and tested almost every player in the store and this was the ONLY one that passed through the skips!

Everything else about it is great -- you can't go wrong for under $150.

Summary: Wow, almost perfect for my needs!
Review: This is a great buy at twice the price. There are two features I would have liked but not major ones. Let me say first of all, I am a part time DJ and I cannot tie up all my CDs in a large 100 or 200 CD carousel. I need easy access to load and play lots of new music to build play lists. If you never remove your CDs then I would consider a different player. If you carry your music back and forth to the car or work (or DJ like I do) and want to only load a few CDs for an evening then this is the best I've seen. First, the good features; a 5 CD drawer that can be opened without stopping play, good display, easy to use remote, easy to use front buttons, a power cable that detaches from the back (a BIG help in a crowded cabinet like mine), optical digital connection, headphone jack w/volume control. Now, the bad features; there seems to be no way to display the time for a cut other than the elapsed time. I am slightly disappointed in this obvious feature I have seen on every CD player in the last 10 years or so. A minor irritant to me, you might not miss it. The other feature is the optical digital. I would have liked a coax digital as my Kenwood VR-309 receiver only has one optical port and that is used by my JVC XV-511 DVD. Other components in my system for sound, 3 x Dual 5" Vifa speakers w/ Al dome tweeters from Speaker City in Glendale, CA, with 2 x Optimus 5 from Radio Shack for surrounds. The sound of this setup is superb. This unit is a great replacement for my Kenwood DP-R3080 CD.

Summary: Great Product
Review: This is easily the best small disc changer for the money. JVC's products always give the most features for the least amount of money and it shows with this player. I have had absolutly no problems other than possibly enjoying this player too much. Go out and get this player!

Summary: An excellent DVD player for the price
Review: This is my second JVC CD changer, I gave the first one I purchased five years ago to my mother and it's still working like a champ. This player has excellent sound and the controls on the front panel and on the remote are well laid out. The disk exchange feature is nice, you can leave one disk playing while you swap the others. The only downside to this player is on the programming, you cannot add tracks to a program once it is entered, doing so stops the program and you have to start over again. This is mostly annoying when you are recording to MD or tape and realize that you have forgotten a song.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent
Review: Well, I personally didn't buy this product off of Amazon.com, but I do own it, so its all good. I was really surprised at the quality of the sound from this product. It's an excellent buy. For the price, I really don't think that you can get a better deal. One of the things I like best is the ease of use, espically w/ the Compulink system. If you have a JVC amp w/ a remote you can control the CD player too. Also, if you buy this, use the digital out feature. The sound quality is much better than from the RCA jacks.
