| loulou4683's Full Review: JVC MX J500 Stereo Mini System |
This stereo was given to me as a gift, otherwise I would never own such an ugly piece of equipment.
I've owned it for about a year and a half now and over time this is what has happened:
- The disk changer, noisy to begin with, got noisier.
- The volume used to ramp up to MAXIMUM (!!!) all by itself without warning until someone told me to twist every wire, including all the speaker wire, to minimize interference. It seems to have worked, with only the occasional violent volume attacks.
- The CD drawers often won't open, telling me that there is NO DISC.
- The CD play buttons are often completely unresponsive.
- It will only play one CD then stop, instead of playing all three. It tells me, guess what, NO DISC.
I have hit the thing, I admit, but it deserved it. I can't wait till it is completely dead then I will scour the garage sales and second hand stores for reliable and well-built stereo components from the 1970s.
DOWN WITH CHEAP JUNK.
