Good price for a reliable MP3 deck. Had mine over a year, works fine! Not a huge amount of options, but great for the price!
 Amazing! November 21, 2004

Let me first say that I didn't know the first thing about car audio systems when I bought this. All I knew was that I needed a CD player in my 2000 Ford Taurus Wagon, and I wasn't going to spend over 200 dollars on it. Luckily, the guy at Best Buy was helpful and probably honest because they don't work for commission.
I was attracted to the fact that it has a volume knob as opposed to up/down buttons, and the colors are pretty cool. The fact that it plays MP3s and CD-RWs clinched it, and at $149.99 it was below my limit. I had it installed for free within the day, and haven't had any problems yet. It makes my factory speakers sound much better and more powerful than before.
You might like this receiver. August 17, 2004

Pros: price, fairly decent ease of use the first time you turn it on
Cons: no mid-range control, not very intuitive when you need to get to extra functions such as manual radio tuning, weak receiver
My recommendation after one week of ownership is that you should try this receiver.
Ease of Use is Average - Somewhat steep learning curve, but manageable
Durability is Very Good - Well made and will last a long time
Sound Quality is Very Good - Great for most users
Comments:
I spent two weeks reviewing and comparing different receiver/mp3 cd players. I finally settled on this product. I just couldn't beat the price (132.98) cardomain.com was offering. (They threw in everything I needed to install the unit.)
After owning this product for a week, I very much enjoy it. It would have gotten five stars were it not for the following:
1) The lack of mid-range control. The different sound field settings (cEQ) more than compensates but it should still have that very easily included function.
2) Radio reception is poor in the hills. My factory radio worked much better. However this didn't factor in much because I don't use the radio very often. Please be aware that when tuning the radio, it defaults to an automatic seek mode. You have to go through the mode settings to turn on the manual tuning feature but it only lasts about 5 seconds. So when you are traveling and want to listen to a station, be aware that you may have trouble manually tuning in to a station.
3) I like the radio but the red coloring on the buttons is hideous and there is a ton of glare from the display in sunlight. The white and blue coloring of the display doesn't match the red buttons. Very ugly. Yes, I am nit-picking.
4) The controls are very good with one small exception, getting to some of the menu items can require you to take your eyes off the road too long. This too is a small issue because I have simply adapted to the unit as you very well could.
There are major upsides:
1) The price is unbeatable. Everywhere I looked, this unit could be had for less than $130 and there are some places tossing in free shipping or free installation equipment. You shouldn't pay more than $135 plus s/h for this unit.
2) This unit is related to the very formidable JVC "Arsenal" series. The major differences are that the arsenal series is satellite radio ready and can control a jvc cd changer. Other than that and some display differences these are the same.
I don't know about you but I don't plan on getting satellite radio and with the mp3 capability, having a changer is pointless, unless you find having your cd collection on 15 mp3 cd's and having to manually put in a cd to big of a job for you. Consider this radio, "Arsenal Lite". Sounds great, less money.
3) This unit has a great sound. Even with the factory speakers, this things absolutely rocks. This alone is enough to offset the shortcomings. Your highs will come through clearly and your lows will come through even better.
4) There are also preamps outputs so if you are deaf, you can get more sound out of this unit. Don't forget that this unit also has a loudness control.
5) There is also a dimmer control. You can control the display ugliness a little bit.
6) This unit, sound for sound, stacks up well against the likes of Sony, Pioneer, and Kenwood. (One salesman told me that JVC gets their tuner part of the receiver from Pioneer.)
I don't think you can go wrong with this unit.
