Title: Great Features; Mediocre Sound
Review: This unit had all the features I wanted: DVD/CD player; compact size; and USB connectivity. This is a great unit for small spaces but has many drawbacks:First, older CDs do not have the best sound on this system. I played The Stooges Fun House and David Bowie and the Spiders From Mars albums and the sound is reduced to transistor radio mode. Also, the wood cone speakers make a lot of music sound odd and "tinny or metallic". Very weird. On the other hand, classical music and DVDs sound terrific (though the dialog is often too quiet).Second, the unit itself is very noisy during disc play. A whirring noise, like a motor humming, can be heard when a disc is playing. This gets very annoying while you're trying to watch a movie or listen to music on lower volumes. Maybe this was just a lemon and I got unlucky -- but I've had the same problem with another JVC microsystem.I ended up returning the system, and it will be my last purchase from JVC.
