JVC XL-FZ258BK 5-CD Changer

After reading many reviews about this changer I was not sure rather to purchase or not. The player arrived shortly after ordering and was very simple to setup. I had owned a cd player from JVC over the past 25 years without any problems until it finally gave out, thus I decided to purchase another JVC product. I have owned it about a month now with no issues to report. Hopefully , I will get another 25 years out of this product.

The last (and only) CD player we had would only hold one CD at a time, so this is a real improvement to have 5 CDs available for play. The player is user friendly, easy to hook up, and we have music playing for hours! The best part of all of it has been how easy it was to find, order, and have delivered in less than a week. These reviews really help.

I have had this changer for approximately 5 weeks, past the Amazon 30 day return policy, unless stocking charges and shipping costs are paid by me. JVC will not exchange the unit but will repair it at their local authorized dealer.

At first, there were seldom, random skips, garbles, and lyric repeats. These have become more frequent and annoying. Pristine discs made no difference and changing the optical cable did not help. My ten year old Yamaha changer, it has drawer problems, plays my discs flawlessly.

So far, this is the only problem but a major one that is getting worse. Everything else is working and I do like the unit. The sound quality is superior to my old Yamaha and the remote is better.

I do not know if this unit can be fixed or, like with cars, the repair people cannot duplicate the problem.

I am not going to put a lot of time, energy, or gas into getting this changer repaired beyond my first attempt. Maybe DVD changers are made better and I can use one as a CD player?

I am disappointed, to say the least, and from my experience, I know purchasing electronic components can be a gamble. I hope your purchase goes better.

This 5 CD changer works very well with my stereo system. There is a
clunking sound when you use the "random" function, and it changes from
one CD to another, but it isn't terribly annoying. There isn't a long
pause between songs, so you get a nice flow of music. Also, the sound
quality is rich and full.

Mine broke just about one month after the one-year warranty ran out. I am still trying to find someone to fix it.

Grrrr.
