I ordered this receiver last week and got it installed tonight. How can you go wrong for the price. Everything works great and I feel it's very easy to operate. I'm seriously thinking hard about buying one for my wifes van!

Overall this deck is a great value. There are some missing features and the display isn't perfect but it's well worth the price. It doesn't have SD or USB inputs. It does have RCA inputs for sound and video. I hooked up my iPhone through these and it sounded and looked decent. There is no supplied iPod/iPhone cable and I read other reviews that the iPhone is not compatible through the separately purchased JVC iPod/iPhone cable. You can only control one external device (iPod, Bluetooth, backup camera) as there is only one external device jack that is used for all three. It's not navigation compatible. You cannot load your own wallpaper images but there are several color schemes to choose from. The display of folder and track info on mp3 discs is greAt, you can see all the tracks in a folder and select one to play by touching it's file name. DVD playback is good, the screen is super bright but the blacks are more grey than black. The resolution is OK, by no means hi-def. The sound is OK, not as clear as my older pioneer. The 7-band EQ helps to improve the sound quality. The remote is packed with additional controls.

This unit if very user friendly for an old school non-techy person like me. Pros: The screen is very clear; picture is beautiful. One touch screen operation. The sound quality is great. Being able to connect an IPOD is awesome as I am so over the radio playing every song 10 times a day. Voice activated cell phone dialing leaves for hands free driving. Cons: Was not aware I'd have to purchase 4 cables which basically doubled the price of the unit. They were needed to enable the bluetooth, HD, connect to steering wheel controls and IPOD. After all was said and done, it only cost $600 including installation. Also, when using the bluetooh, the caller can hear themselves speak and it echoes. But then again, what speakerphone system is really all that great.
