The product of the year...Without a doubt!

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...

Utilitarian case by JVC

Advantages: light, spacious, handy, good material
Disadvantages: no velcro compartments

... JVC CB A79 Case Camcorder also known as "reporter bag" INTRO With a weight below 180 grams this medium-sized case can be considered, without a doubt, a lightweight case. I have been looking for a case where to put my werdly-sized camera (Canon S5 IS) for a long time after the fiasco of the original canon bag in which my camera does not fit properly; so I was in a shop (Curry's) the other day and I spotted this case on a shelf with a 97p tag on it. I asked the assistant if it was indeed 97p and so it was... I imediately bought it. I later found out that the price of this bag usually varies between £10-£15, currently on amazon is around £13 so I can consider myself quite lucky and happy of the amazing deal. OVERVIEW So let's see some details, first of all the size: approximately 17 x 11 x 10cm. The material...

Disadvantages: ?

...microphone or headphone socket with this camcorder, and neither is there a flashlight. This will put the camcorder at a serious disadvantage when compared with Sony's aggressively priced DCR-TRV22 DV camcorder, it has to be said. The 8MB MultiMedia Card (SD card is an optional accessory) slots in behind the LCD screen door. Digital stills can be taken in JPEG format in two resolutions- 640x480 (standard) and 1,024x768 (fine) pixel modes. Jvc has included a feature called DPOF (Digital Print Order Format) which allows the tagging of skills stored on the MMC card for later printing. Also included is Windows-only software called Digital Photo Navigator, designed to facilitate USB transfer of stills editing them in a PC. Image mixer is also included, providing the capability to create VCD movies via USB or FireWire - a feature only now...

Review of JVC GR D70

  A JVC today, lets you record, edit and play!

Advantages: Everything in one package
Disadvantages: The manual is useless.

...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. But I did come across several reviews on similar JVC products saying how many problems they had. However we were impressed with it's specs so decided to take the chance. What does it do? ****************** As I said I do not understand all the jargon. All sites selling the product will give you full...

JVC XVN55SL

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...

Review of JVC XVN 55SL

The Sound of Silence......JVC Style.........

Advantages: Stunning Sound and User Friendly
Disadvantages: Limited Use and JVC Helplines are useless.......

...We had this JVC KDSH 77 player installed in our car ( ALFA Romeo147) by Halfords about 18 mths ago. I must say the sound was absolutely brilliant through the cars own fitted speakers ( Sony x 8 ) and for a while we were extremely happy with all the features on this machine. It played all our CD/Rws, had a very simple to use tuner,with plenty of power,looked great,was user friendly and fitted in the dashboard perfectly. No problem there I hear you say . However....Unfortunately. True to form as has been proved with many JVC car audio / music systems before. The 12 month guarantee was up and within a couple of weeks almost to the day. Guess what ?? It packed in. ( Error Message on Screen ) Went back to Halfords...Not our problem, Sir... Our 12 month warranty is just up, any problems in the last twelve months...

JVC HD Camcorder

Advantages: Light, easy to use, good quality video and still, easy to transfer to/from computer
Disadvantages: Does not come with a bag

...I have bought this JVC camcorder over an year ago and I am completely satisfied with it. JVC is a good brand name and their lenses are of top quality. The company pioneered the HD camcorders.This camcorder is very light and handy and easy to use. 20GB hard disk is more than enough to store all your photos and videos taken in one vacation. This is a very user friendly device. The 4-way (up, down, left, right) menu selector switch allows you to browse through various settings (like brightness, aperture etc.).Apart from that, there are main mode selector (still or video) switches. All you need to do is to select the appropriate still/video mode and press the shutter. The LCD screen shows you what you are capturing. If you are not satisfied, you can delete it with the press of a button other wise save it in the 20GB hard disk! HD...

JVC, Good for me!!!

Advantages: can listen to your favourite tunes without waking the town
Disadvantages: Long jack lead gets tangled easily

...Imagine the scene. Its late at night, the lights are down, the kids are asleep and I want to play Star Wars Battlefront II but don't want to wake everyone up. So I plug in my headphones which happen to be JVC HA-D424 into the headphone socket on the television. I place the headphones around my ears and turn on the game. BOOM, I'm instantly taken to another dimension. The lasers are no longer on the television, there in the room. Everything thats going on around me is forgotten and I am a clonetrooper trying to reach the next command post. I feel something hit me on the shoulder. I Jump, have I just been shot. No its my girlfriend standing there. I take of the headphones and she says fancy a cuppa coffee. slowly my heart rate returns to normal. Yes please I say. Well hopefully this will help you realise that these headphones are really...

JVC Everio GZ-MG575. A must have!

Advantages: Too many!
Disadvantages: None

...Introduction: I have always loved to capture everything that seems to be nice with eye of a camera. I love nature and capturing its beauty. I have played around with still pictures for quite some time. I always desired to have a camcorder, so that I can also capture my memorable moments in moving video. My desire was fulfilled on my last birthday when my uncle gifted this beauty to me. From then I have been using it and I am very satisfied with its performance. I love JVC for producing such a wonderful camcorder. ******************************************************* Dimensions: >Width: 7.4 cm >Depth: 11.8 cm >Height: 7.2 cm >Weight (Without battery): 425 g >Weight (With Battery): 470 g Very compact and light weight. The one I have got is black in colour. It looks very pretty...

JVC Camcorder

Advantages: Compact and stores seven hours of video
Disadvantages: Slow autofocus

...at his pictures, but it's all still life. It would be good in years to come to look at the pictures and remember but how much better would it be to watch the look on his face when he sees his christmas presents. And better still, watch him take those precious first steps. Ok, so a camera, not good enough anymore. Not when technology is progresing so rapidly. So I invested in a camcorder. The JVC GZ MG57 to be precise. However I hate all the technical stuff, so needed something that was relatively easy to get my head around. Thankfully the whole menu system that the camcorder has going on was easy to get my head around and I got my bearings relatively quick. The menu system provides quick and easy access to the shooting settings e.g shutter speed and scene modes. I was worried about the size of the camcorder though, as I have big hands...
