Description:

If you've grown weary of cheap portable CD players that skip the music with the slightest nudge, and you're looking for a machine that offers first-rate sound reproduction, JVC's XL-PV700 is an excellent choice. The XL-PV700 has 40-second triple shock protection--an important feature that allows you to plug the portable device into your car-audio system and enjoy CDs on the highway. JVC touts this feature as "shockproof," and explains that a newly developed integrated-circuit (IC) chip stores the digitized music code into a buffer before it's converted to analog. Even if you bump the player, you won't get a chance to hear the skip over your headphones because the buffer has already stored the digital code.

For improved sound quality, the XL-PV700 uses a one-bit digital-to-analog converter to reduce distortion. JVC also touts its Active Hyper Bass "pro sound system" as a "quality-control circuit" that enhances the range of low-frequency reproduction without sacrificing midrange clarity. There's also a live sound option for your favorite concert discs, as well as an optical output. All of these features make the XL-PV700 one of the top personal CD players on the market from a company that has always focused on sound quality in the car-audio and professional recording studio markets.
