JVC KD-G 531

Advantages: Packed full of features, Easy to use, Very Cheap
Disadvantages: Took me a bit of time to install

...After driving around in my newly purchased car, I realised that a CD tuner is a must if I were to survive the straining London traffic jams. As soon I was home, I started up my computer, and begun looking through the web for a quality CD Tuner, at a reasonable price. After I took in the fact that eBay, Halfords and Currys had nothing to offer, I referred to Argos, and stumbled across the JVC KDG411 CD Radio for only £89.99. Within matter of days, this genius piece of kit had my speakers on full blast! I was not only happy to be jazzing away to Beyoncey's latest album in the traffic jams, but was most probably the centre of attention :o) The CD Tuner features not only CD-R and CD-RW playback, but also MP3 and WMA, which was the main reason I bought it. With MP3 disks allowing you to store up to almost 180 songs, it was an ultimate... Read review

...and replace them all with DVD versions. So this all led to the idea of getting a DVD recorder/VHS combi. Next decision was which one. I'm not very technologically minded and found that many of the words baffled me. Also I had no idea what certain abbreviations meant. I spent a whole day trawling through internet sites, finding out what I could about various products, what they offered etc, and what all the jargon meant. I looked around for reviews but found only one on this product. It had been written by PC World, and gave it top marks.

Advantages: Excellent picture quality, zoom and other functions, good sound output
Disadvantages: Non. If it recorded it would be the best ever..

...With the surge in popularity of DVD recorders, it is very hard to notice the humble DVD player nowadays and it comes quite low on the list of 'must-haves'. However, if you are in the market for a good DVD player that is packed with features, the JVC XV-N55SL would be worthy of consideration. We have had ours a couple of years now, but last year it got relegated to the dining room when we purchased our DVD recorder. It is hooked up to a portable TV we have in there but it does not really do justice to the JVC in all fairness. But that's the way things go. If we had room in our lounge under our TV on top of the DVD recorder it would still be there, because it is by far the better player of DVDs. When we got the JVC home as a Christmas present to both of us (from both of us) a couple of Christmases ago, we were amazed how light... Read review
