JVC DX-J21
$300.00
Released June, 2008
The Pros:Cassette playback is a great feature for older users - very few modern units continue to incorporate tape decks. Dedicated woofer opens up low end response considerably - very beneficial for Hip Hop and dance music playback. Multiple connectivity options are a major bonus - audio receiver outputting enables full home theater surround sound support.
The Cons:Feels somewhat overpriced for the feature set/ output quality - Yamaha and Sony offer much more powerful units in the same price range. Overall sound quality is disappointing - middle and high ranges come across as muffled and flat while low end is harsh and noisy. Control layout is confusing and seemingly unnecessary - multiple screen areas split up information pertaining to one input type.
The JVC DX-J21 is a shelf system created by the company JVC America. It is a 315W power compact component system with a 5-DVD changer, a USB host, subwoofer, and karaoke scoring. For those who want a system they can throw a party with, the JVC DX-J21 has live surround and sound modes.
