Amazon.com Product Description

The JVC MX-KC4 audio system may come in a relatively small package, but it packs a huge sound thanks to its 360 watts (180 watts x 2) of total power. The stereo's generous output, when teamed with its pair of three-way bass-reflex speakers--each with a 6.31-inch cone woofer, 2-inch cone midrange, and 0.81-inch dome tweeter--delivers a rich, full-bodied audio performance that resonates in all but the largest rooms. The MX-KC4 also boasts an impressive collection of features that stand above many similarly priced systems, such as MP3 playback (on CD-R/RW) and a three-disc carousel CD changer with play exchange, which keeps the music playing even while you're adding or removing CDs.

The CD player's other notable functions include 32-track programming, random play, and repeat play, along with standard song skip/search and play/pause functions. To make MP3 playback more convenient and enjoyable, JVC added ID3 tagging, which lets users read MP3 artist and title information on the front readout. And should listeners tire of CDs and MP3s, they can turn to the cassette deck (this is the one JVC mini system with a cassette player) or the digital AM/FM tuner.

Additional features include a Rhythmax audio function, which amplifies the "rhythms" of a tune while still pumping out serious bass; a built-in equalizer with rock, pop, and classic modes; 1-bit digital-to-analog converter that ensures crisp, clean audio playback; a headphone jack for private listening; and a front auxiliary input that connects to such devices as iPods and portable MP3 players.

And as with all of JVC's compact audio systems, the MX-KC4 is covered by a one-year warranty on parts and labor.

5 out of 5 stars Impressive features, etc., that was not known prior to purchase.......2006-07-01

This audio system is exactly what I needed for playing MP3 CDs, a dual cassette deck for copying cassette tapes, and great sound quality for recording audio onto my PC (carefully connecting speaker outputs to microphone input of PC). It also has the ability to record CDs onto a cassette tape with practically a single push of a button.

The CD and MP3 function plays CD-R CDs with amazing clarity and smooth functionality. The dual cassette deck does not have independent controls, nor auto-reverse, but with the high-tech functionality, they are controlled and operated with ease. Even the AM (and FM) radio reception, with the provided antenna, is amazingly clear, in comparison to my previous audio system.

Although the buttons on the front of the audio system appears confusing at first, starting each audio function is as easy as pushing one button. Even if the audio system is off, all you have to do is simply push the appropriate button on either the audio system, or on the high quality remote control, and the selected function will automatically begin to play with the last settings used.

The high shipping and handling charge was surprising, but the package was so well packed, that it took 5 minutes just to get to the actual audio system itself, which assured me that it should be in great condition, which it was.

Overall, I am very satisfied, and my family and children are also enjoying this high quality audio system. There are still more features that I haven't even checked out yet, but when I do, the manual is very well written and easy to follow.

4 out of 5 stars Nice Sound, Solid Bass, But..........2006-05-05

This unit serves as my home stereo, as I live in a studio apartment with limited room. When I unpacked the unit, I was skeptical, because it didn't seem solidly built and had that "Coby" or "ElectroBrand" cheap look to it. But, I already paid for it, so I hooked it up rather than give in to my cynical attitude toward consumer electronics. The sound was surprising, especially after the speakers were "broken in" (audio experts attest speakers sound better after a few weeks of use). I'm an "oldies" freak and they never sounded better, either CD, FM or through internet radio (aux input = my computer audio out). Overall, I am very satisfied with the JVC, but since the housings (unit and speakers) are somewhat "not robust," I would not suggest toting it around.

4 out of 5 stars JVC MX-KC4 Audio System.......2006-03-18

Just got this unit and I think it's awsome. I have to keep the volume down in the house. With 360 watts this unit is great for an outdoor party.
I'm sure there are better units out there, but not for this price.

5 out of 5 stars Surprised with quality of sound.......2006-02-27

Given the inexpensive price paid I was willing to accept a lower qulaity product, but was pleasantly surprised by the high quality sound of the JVC sterio system.

While it looks like little more than a portable boom box, it is our home stereo system and fills the house with a loud, crisp, clear sound equal to much more expensive units.

I highly recommend it.

    3 out of 5 stars Great....but.......2003-04-26

    The display is crisp and vivid and at native resolution, steady and bright.

    However, I find the tilt adjustment flawed. Mine goes -20 degrees to + 5 degrees, in other words, it barely tilts from straight up and down (I was used to a greater tilt). Why anyone would want to tilt it under the horizontal plane escapes me.

    The monitor is simply too heavy for the rather crude tilting mechanism.

    5 out of 5 stars Fantastic Monitor.......2002-12-11

    We're a graphics and animation company. We've been buying Planar LCD monitors for the last year and are thrilled. We like the look much better than our high-end CRTs even! Our first 19" PL191M is wonderful. We love it, and will be buying more immediately!

              4 out of 5 stars Totally happy.......2002-08-26

              I was ready for a new TV for my rec room and didn't want to by an analog set that would be outdated in a few years. The Samsung was by far the best deal for the money. The picture is fabuous, particuarly with DVD's. I can't wait till the price of the digital tuners comes down a bit. I'm really looking forward to using this for HDTV broadcasts!

              4 out of 5 stars A Good, Reliable Place to Start -- If You Want to Start!!!.......2002-06-10

              Let's start by saying that I come from a family that likes to try new, likely durable changes in electronics early on. TVs are an example: first B/W 1948; color 1958; stereo 1st year available; etc. So, when this relatively inexpensive flat-screen HDTV came along, it seemed to offer a good way to sample the current state of an evolving technology without having to lay out a lot of cash for something that would rapidly become obsolete. For the sake of fairness, I'll compare it to the conventional stereo 27" RCA that it supplanted. First off, the colors are much more crisp and the outlines and perspective much better defined. This is most apparent for DVD and VCR viewing --less so with cable. You can take this as either a plus or a minus: Yes, you get better clarity, but you also have to suspend your disbelief more. The fact that backgrounds have been overdubbed and the limitations of computer-generated imagry (especially when living beings are in the same frame) become much more apparent than on good old, fuzzier, conventional TV. It is a trade-off, but something that we all can (and, likely will have to) get used to. The stereo (without adding external speakers) is clearly superior to the conventional stereo TV. The HDTV unit is a bit more bulky (wider & deeper at the back). 27" is as small as you can (& should) get with the current technology before distortion at the edges and picture size become an issue: The latter is especially apparent because the HDTV screen is more rectangular -- making everything letter-boxed (and things that have been letter-boxed are even more so). This unit has performed well for the 3 weeks that we've had it. Its operation is simple; the enclosed remote is user-friendly; the TV is compatable with current DVD & VHS players and with cable and existing universal remotes. We'll see about durability; but there's no reason to suspect that it would be predisposed to any more problems than any other TV. So the real issue is whether it's worth paying 2 to 3-fold more for HDTV than for a conventional stereo TV of equivalent size. My advice: If you use TV primarily for cable, antenna, or dish viewing, wait until the price comes down. If you're like me, and use TV primarily for VHS and DVD viewing, the increased quality of the picture makes it worth considering -- but remember, you're more likely to notice that the chase sceens etc. are trumped up!
              Addendum: I's been 3 mos. now; things are working fine, and my opinion is unchanged!

                I am delighted with this product. With the base boost, the sound quality is excellent for such a small player. It is well designed and does not take up much space. It is also very easy to understand the controls. I found it simple to program and operate different functions. I only have it a week so I can't vouch for its longtime performance but now I am very satisfied with it.

                I purchased a $200.00 boom box from Radio Shack to take on vacation. I then purchased this smaller one for my office. Imagine my amazement when the Phillips cheaper version was extremely better than the higher priced item I purchased at a specialty store. I even forgot and left it in the rain for 6 hours. I dried it out with a blow dryer and it still works. Needless to say, I was extremely satisfied with this product and think it is well worth the money.

                1 out of 5 stars Looks nice, but does not last!.......2006-01-16

                This device is thin, light, and aesthetically pleasing - too bad it has not been engineered to last or work well. If you decide to buy it then pay extra for the replacement plan - you'll need it!

                My initial problems came when I was burning. I could not move or bump the desk it was on. If I did, I would get a write error - resulting in a ruined disc. I've had this problem before with other burners, but this one was extremely touchy (extemely touchy is an understatement). I tolerated this problem because I do not burn very many discs and I could live with it by burning a disc and then leaving the system alone.

                Fast forward 4 weeks: My burner is now unusable! How did this happen you ask? Well, I stored the device with the power cord wrapped around the burner - but I made the mistake of leaving the end of the power plug that goes into the drive plugged in. Apparently the stress from the cord caused the internal power connector to snap (this is a guess since I never dropped, misued, or mistreated the device). The power connector is now rattling in the case... that beautifully designed sleak, slim, and aesthetically pleasing case.

                Learn from my mistake - buy something better with your money.

                  Product Description

                  Samsung created the DynaSound TXN2036F to be the perfect television for playing video games. As a built-in compact home theater, the TXN2036F offers the highest quality audio to compliment the outstanding picture. The DynaSound TXN2036F delivers 20 watts of stereo sound from an exclusive combination of speakers, and cabinet construction, enabling the television to outperform anything in its class. The compact 20" Samsung DynaFlat anti-distortion, anti-glare flat picture tube is easier on the eyes. The right connections are included from DVD component inputs, front composite A/Vs, 2 sets of rear A/V jacks, and of course an S-Video connection. Grab a controller and let the games begin. Start the movie and get swept away.

                  Amazon.com Product Description

                  This snazzy, compact 20-inch set uses Samsung's DynaFlat picture tube, which not only looks cool compared to a conventional, bulbous screen, but also provides a high-quality, high-contrast picture through the screen's ability to reduce reflected ambient light and its built-in velocity-scan modulation technology. This TV is made to sound as good as it looks, with 10 watts per channel audio power and flared, ported cabinet speakers built to handle high-frequency detail and relatively powerful bass. Whether you're into games or movies--or both--this is the one-piece compact monitor of choice.

                  Velocity-scan modulation improves the definition at picture edges, creating sharper images by slowing the CRT (cathode-ray tube) beam's horizontal scanning during demanding work--say, when rendering transitions from light to dark parts of an image--and speeding it up when scanning easily rendered sections, like broad dark areas.

                  The TXN2036F's two-line digital comb filter further enhances resolution by removing blurred edges between colors and reducing dot crawl (tiny, moving dots of color along a sharp color separation in a vertical line, as in a depiction of a character's striped T-shirt). The unit offers an Invar shadow mask, too. A shadow mask is a thin sheet of perforated metal behind the screen that restricts electron flow; each hole in the sheet corresponds to a single pixel. An Invar mask uses an alloy that's especially resistant to the high temperatures generated by the electron beam, allowing a brighter, clearer picture.

                  A component-video input grants optimum connection with a compatible DVD player, while standard composite- and S-video inputs accommodate all DVD players. You can choose between a set of rear AV inputs and a set of side AV inputs for extra convenience when hooking up a camcorder or gaming console. A rear-panel fixed-level audio output and composite-video output lets you hook the set up with a surround receiver for convenient audio/video switching. The set gives you stereo audio (with 3 watts per channel) from broadcast programming via Multi-channel Television Sound (MTS), which permits broadcasters to encode stereo audio within the video portion of TV programming signals.

                  The 56-pound set is easy to move between, say, the study and the living room. It also features a trilingual onscreen display (English, Spanish, French), closed-caption display, V-Chip parental control, a sleep timer, an on timer, and a universal remote control. A front-panel headphone jack affords private listening.
