I bought this receiver one year ago @ Circuit City. It's been on as long as approx. It was one of those "we found this sitting around in the stockroom, and it needs to be sold" deals. For $50 I got the receiver, home kit, and car kit.In the year I have had this unit, it has worked well for me. 4 hours, and I haven't had issues with problems due to overheating. The unit sure does get hot, however.I especially like the large display this unit has; makes it easy to glance over and see what's playing, without having to take my eyes off the road.Sure, this isn't being made anymore, but if you can get a deal like I did, I would say go for it.
I have had mine for a 1 1/2 years, and my wife has had hers for a year. My wife and I have 2 of these receivers. One for each of us. Neither of us have had any problems with the units losing signal even after constantly moving them between vehicles, work, and home docking stations. The sound quality is very good and the oversized displays makes them very easy to read.
I have not even replaced the remote batteries yet.I drive truck at night and have a cradle for it in each of my personal vehicles so it gets alot of use.The only thing I do not like is the red colored screen. I have had this receiver almost a year and have dropped it three times on pavement and it still works. It is hard to read especially at night in the dark. The other day it slipped out and the top actually split open, and then I heard something rattling inside. I thought for sure it would never work again but it does with no problems. Would of been better to have the font black instead of light colored or the whole thing blue. It is a little large but I like the larger buttons rather than small.
I like that there are 3 bands with 10 stations each. I bought this unit almost a year ago now and haven't had any troubles with it. If it gets really hot the screen can get a little hard to read but is very sturdy to others I have seen more recently. Fairly user friendly. I really like it.
I got the JVC kit for my birthday in early November and I've got to say Im hooked. The music channels are great and I havent heard a commercial since receiving the unit. I've had no problem with receiption in my home or car.My new favoriate toy.Tim
