I love it! - Reviewed on 2009-04-21

I live in a small space and I wanted something I could take from my bedroom to my kitchen easily. I bought this unit so I could play my iPod Touch through speakers and to watch and listen to youtube videos without having to use my computer and headphones to get good audio. You do have to fight with it a little sometimes to accomplish this, as the unit wants to default to playing the iPod more than it likes youtube, but I found if I begin to play a video from my iPod first it works better when I switch to the youtube App. That's my only real complaint and it's frustrating, so I hope they work out this kink. But it's still minor. I haven't tried to hook up the video output to my TV yet but I know I'd love that. I am thrilled I can turn the unit sideways and watch youtube videos with my iPod Touch and get better sound than from my laptop.
I got mine for $71 on ebay, so if you look around, you can get a price break. I think it sounds fantastic for a small unit. As someone else said, it's not Bose, but a Bose unit doesn't do as much and it costs much more.
I didn't buy this unit to serve as an alarm clock and like others, I think the color display is useless, but it doesn't bother me. I also wish all the functions were available on the unit instead of needing the remote, but since I'm not using it for an alarm clock, I set the time and the treble/bass levels and I didn't need the remote for anything else.
Besides youtube, you can also use the unit to play any of the free radio stations Apps you can get from the iTunes Apps store, including Pandora. So if you have an iPhone or an iPod Touch with a wireless internet connection, you will love that you can use the sound/media type Apps from your iPhone or iPod Touch and get better (and real stereo) sound than the iPhone or iPod Touch has, without using headphones. This is not a selling point that the manufacturer has made a big deal out of, but it's my favorite thing about the unit. If I get an iPhone later on, I can play and charge both units at the same time.
I would definitely recommend buying it, especially if you want to watch and hear youtube videos without using your computer.
Wonderful, would buy again. Use the iPod alarm not the... - Reviewed on 2009-04-14

... JVC alarm. I see some folk aren't happy with the alarm feature?
It's really not a problem because you just set the alarm on the iPod instead. The iPods nice wake sound is outputted thru the JVC.
I think this system is geared for the iPod touch and classic. It does have wonderful sound on it's own with line-in , FM etc, but incorporates so many iPod features on both the unit and remote some may think twice if they didn't own an iPod. I would still purchase it though even if I didn't own a couple of iPods - solely because of the sound this JVC produces.
The sound really is very good. I'm no audiophile however I believe I can differentiate between products that sound nice and products that are just plain lame (the ones that specialise in distortion and interference - yuck). The JVC has lovely sound, no horrible 'tinny' treble, nice midrange and for the size, rather a smooth base.
It looks great, charges two iPods at the same time, colours are cool (the LED lights - gimmicks, I know, and easily turned off). Love it.
It does have a timer and other clock type features.
I like the audio-in, FM/AM features, haven't used the video out feature. It receives all FM stations with ease.
I would buy this product again based solely on the sound quality.
Very highly recommended.
Enjoy.
