Have the equipment available today and at first I was very pleasantly surprised by the look and the sound. However, I found even the many weaknesses, as listed below: - Lack of strap or handle (completely unacceptable so-called for a "portable system.") - The device is only stable at a perfectly flat documents, otherwise it immediately tilts Way Forward - There is no automatic Umschaletn (eg when inserting CD), CD playback (the gabs actually already 20 years ago) - While wearing the device to get automatically to the cover of the USB / iPod ports ... which then opens, as the cover of the thinnest plastic is performed, this will quickly cancel - In the dark, the unit is completely inoperable, because all the buttons are not illuminated and the bright display outshines everything - The FM reception is not particularly, relates to almost all the channels it is significantly worse compared to my very old portable radio - Switching to mono reception is not possible (the gabs already 20 years ago) - External power supply (18W) has today's standards gigantic dimensions (gabs already 20 years ago) - With power supply connected you can hear the internal switching frequency of the power supply silently in the speakers (but is not so tragic, most people becoming eh no longer hear)
Conclusion: if the sound were not so good, the machine would already on the way back. To the manufacturer (JVC) or its developers, "put five"
A package system - I think it's more for the cabinet wall.
Price, quality, functionality - canceled typical expensive for our Day, impractical, vulnerable, developing at 60%.
