JVC KD SX770 CD Receiver

Price Paid:  $0.00

Weaknesses:
Made me decide to never buy a JVC deck again.

Summary:
Had a JVC deck like this a few years back.. 2 preamp outs etc. Had the deck about a month or so before the internal amp crapped out on me. Took about 2 or 3 weeks to fix. Put it back in and same thing a week later. I don't abuse the deck so I don't know what was up. As far as the deck sounded. I thought it was really harsh on highes and boomy on lows. Had no midbass or midrange when running this deck.. seemed as though I only had a tweeter and a sub in the car. Layout was nice however and the deck looked clean.. Features were a bit lacking and the preamp outs had too low of a voltage. Suggestion, if you only like rap music, aren't planning on using this deck for other than factory speakers, go ahead and get it.. just pray it doesn't crap out on you.

Price Paid:  $0.00

Strengths:
Big Display Many Colors Good Bass Boost (BBE^2) So easy your granddad can figure out how to use it.

Weaknesses:
Long Time to Boot Up once engine is started. If you ever clutch out you can''t play it off because the radio takes about 4-5 Seconds to come on so everyone will know. LoL. The Remote has no practical use because of limited range. They should make a steering wheel remote like aiwa.

Summary:
This Cd Deck is real cool. It has all the features that you could want including remote (which I have yet to figure out the point of using the remote. Its easier to change it by hand than find the little buttons on the remote). This is also a good system to start off on with its 2 sets of preamps. GOod Price $149.

Strengths:
Good sound. Easy to install. Simple controls. Nice display.

Weaknesses:
Remote doesn''t have much range.

Summary:
I bought this stereo from Future Shop after a salesman showed it to me. So far I have no regrets about purchasing this stereo. It''s simple to use(the rotary volume and mute button are a big plus) and has a really cool display. It seems to have lots of power too for pumping out the sound. The removable/flipdown face is also a nice touch. I found the remote a bit useless, but that''s just an added bonus and isn''t even needed.
