I just bought this deck and it is awesome! The display is sweet, the sound is great and the power it allows me is awesome. I just need to get the rest of my system to really test it out. The only thing I don't like about it is that its search function for the ipod is not very well designed so it takes a long time to scroll through all of my music to find what i want.

This may be an older head unit, but for the money, I can't believe my ears. For years, I've used Clarion headunits for their outstanding CD quality. Along the way I've had to deal with their squirrely lasers that won't read a disk half the time and excessive heat generation from built-in amp (which never was used). My two previous decks were the DXZ725 and DXZ535, which had 4v and 2v preouts respectively. The JVC outputs at a CEA-rated 5v. With this deck, I no longer need my old CFQ5X, as I have all the signal control I could want and the power/quality is outstanding! Bravo to JVC for doing it right for the enthusiast.
The only downsides to this deck is no USB input, small SD capacity, no HD-Radio upgrade and the PICT software is junk. Other than that, this is an outstanding unit

Review written by JUSTIN from Summerville, SC
I fell in love with this Head Unit the second I installed it. I mainly bought this unit for its ability to read SD memory cards for MP3. I like how you can download pictures using your computer to a disc or SD card and upload into the unit. The downside is my limited use of it so far, two of my channels blew after only a couple hours use. Im now waiting for my number to return it. I only mention this because this is my first JVC and I have never had this problem before. There wasn't any built in high pass filter for my speakers like my previous head unit either. Overall im pretty satisfied with the unit if I ever get to use it again!
