I purchased this microsytem in April, and within months my stereo was malfunctioning. The radio and cassette deck work fine, it is the CD player which is giving me problems. On nearly every CD I play, halfway through the disc a scratching sound is heard. Despite having tried every possible cleaning method, it still does not work properly. I was very disappointed with this, as i love the style and the sound is great aside from that. I would suggest taking an extended warranty.

This is a great executive mini-system. It's powerful, robust and elegant at the same time. It's fit and finish matches its quality. The sound is superb. I also like the little motorized CD door too. The very best for the price.

The CD player refused to work right. It started out only reading some CDs, and quickly stopped playing them all together. Every CD I put in, the display would read "no disc." A bad value at any price.

I enjoyed owning this baby. It has nice sound, quality radio reception, and a handy remote control. The motorized cd lid is sorta nifty too. My only complaint is that the speakers are on the small side and the bass sound doesn't resonate as it should. But I hooked up my quality bookshelf speakers instead, which really sounded great. If you're looking to fill a large area, shop for another unit. If you just need a bedroom or office stereo, this one offers you the compact size and quality you're looking for.

I have now owned this JVC system for almost 2 weeks I LOVE IT!! This is my first JVC brand stereo I've purchased. I bought this after my Pamasonic died out after 6 yrs of use. The system itself is user friendly (I thought so) The speakers are small but they deliver a smooth mellow sound (depends greatly though on your type of music) I found out that I didn't have to crank the volume to get a decent delivery of sound and music. The lay out is simple the tape deck sits atop the unit the cd player is vertical in the way of loading discs (I absolutely LOVE the cd player portion of the unit). My only gripe is that the speaker cable is longer enough to move them (the speakers) around to another part of a room. I would really recommend this system if your short on space (like me) this is perfect for an office or bedroom.
