Reviews around display (5.00 of 5)

  • The changer is quiet when changing CDs (rotating the carousel), and the display is readable from across the room
  • First, the good features; a 5 CD drawer that can be opened without stopping play, good display, easy to use remote, easy to use front buttons, a power cable that detaches from the back (a BIG help in a crowded cabinet like mine), optical digital connection, headphone jack w/volume control.
  • If you are one of those people who like to chill in the dark to your favorite music the display is annoyingly bright.

Reviews around sound (4.33 of 5)

Reviews around price (4.26 of 5)

  • All in all, a decent CD Changer for a reasonable price.
  • Basically, I'd say this is an excellent choice for anyone who's looking for a good CD changer at a reasonable price.
  • This JVC CD changer was delivered quickly and at an affordable price
  • The sound quality is very good, and the price is reasonable considering all the features it has
  • Anyway, I eventually got an e-mail from another person at the company that was apologetic for the behavior of the employee that was sending me the rude and unprofessional e-mails.

Reviews around deal (4.10 of 5)

  • For the price, I really don't think that you can get a better deal.
  • For the price (we paid less than $100 with a promotion being run at the time), this was a fantastic deal, and the unit works well in terms of shuffle, multiple disc play and single disc play.
  • So far, it is behaving beautifully, and I'm enjoying it a great deal.
  • For the price (we paid less than $100 with a promotion being run at the time), this was a fantastic deal, and the unit works well in terms of shuffle, multiple disc play and single disc play.
  • It is not portable though and takes up a fair amount of cabinet space but for the money, this is a good deal IMHO.

Reviews around player (3.75 of 5)

  • I'd recommend this player to anyone who is seeking value and low cost.
  • The player is user friendly, easy to hook up, and we have music playing for hours!
  • Sound quality is excellent for the price and it is very easy to use; I highly recommend this player.
  • Easy to operate, mechanically perfect, sounds almost as good as my Sony NS999ES DVD/CD player which cost $1,500 new back in 1998
  • Anyway, I eventually got an e-mail from another person at the company that was apologetic for the behavior of the employee that was sending me the rude and unprofessional e-mails.

Reviews around cd (3.53 of 5)

  • If one is burning one's CDs, the old 2x sampling players will skip interminably
  • JVC XL-FZ258BK 5-CD ChangerGood sturdy, reliable CD changer for the money
  • However, if you intend to burn your own audio CDs and then play the songs in a different order, this machine may have trouble, regardless of the file format you use
  • All in all, a decent CD Changer for a reasonable price.
  • The error-correction algorithms are excellent---I played some badly scratched CDs that other players could not handle and could barely hear the data interpolation at the scratch points.

Reviews around machine (3.22 of 5)

  • On removing these, the machine worked again, - for about a week.
  • Within one week the machine failed to work using the exchange function
  • Anyway, I eventually got an e-mail from another person at the company that was apologetic for the behavior of the employee that was sending me the rude and unprofessional e-mails.
  • The machine will not now work at all, and the cost of repair is not worth
  • BUT the machine works immaculately and I am very satisfied with my purchase.

Reviews around unit (3.06 of 5)

  • Also, I can appreciate that I purchased this unit from a Retailer, it is the manufacturer's issue that the unit was defective.
  • I recommend this manufacturer unit and model to anyone who is looking for a 5-disc cd player for their stereo system.
  • Would definately recommend this unit vs. the comparable Sony.
  • I was pissed, not at the defective unit at this point, but at the horrible response from the company.
  • The part was replaced and the unit worked great for nearly a year.
