Good looks, lots of options.

I have owned jvc headunits before, and none of them ever gave me problems. This one is the same way. The sound quality is very good. 5 volt pre-amp provide my amp with a strong signal. Lots of ways to control your sound with the eq. The unit looks much better than the pictures show it to be. Overall, I would definitely recommend it.

A Kick Butt receiver

I love this unit, it has everything and more! It plays mp3's, it can color match you cars interior, and you can even download pics. This unit has it all, and it has high RMS power too. This provids a clean all around sounding system. You can tweek just about anything you want, to make it sound just the way you want it to. The down side is no high pass crossove built in, small buttons, and you really have to read the ownes manual. This receiver has so much, it takes time to learn all that it can do. I didn't even mention the front panel USM input! Love it!!

big difference over my old school jvc cd player

like my title says, its a big difference. it takes less than a second to change songs in mp3 mode and it also has inputs to use another sound device, i use my psp system. you can also use a usb cable. sounds very nice and crisp and does push out out 20 watts rms like it says. it has badass graphics, looks like a game boy advance graphics and you can change the graphics you can view (different pictures). it does have an 8 db bass engine wich works nicely and a very nice equaliser, others don't even have an equaliser and it works nicely. over all, in this website this is the best deal ever and comes with free shipping and install kit. you just can't find a better deal for a cd player in this site. the cosmetic view if this cd player is perfect, it has one of the best material i seen, you will be very satisfied, over all the best deal and only from sonic electronix.com for this price. thanks sonic

JVC KD-AR870 is a great unit!

I have had a JVC KD-AR870 for 6 months now with no problems. The EQ and Fader controls are all menu based rather than direct touch knobs. This unit changed my life! I no longer have to burn CDs! I use my flash drives for all my music needs. I use a 4 Gig Flash Drive for tons of my music. USB Flash interfaces are the future!! I just bought two more for my other cars. Rob C
