Unless you're very picky about the sound of your music, this is not a bad little product for the money. It's sleek and seems solidly built, and fits nicely on my nightstand. It has an iPod player on top, which charges at it plays (all units don't necessarily charge while playing, I found out the hard way), a front usb input and CD player which plays just about any CD media you'd expect out of a unit like this (but is not a slot type). It also has a sleep timer, but only shows the clock (which has no backup battery) when the unit is off. When you are playing media, only the media type (without tags) is shown on the display. Mine doesn't seem to be backlit, so I cannot see the display at night...a minor inconvenience since I also have a separate alarm clock and only use the JVC to fall asleep by. The earphone and audio in jack are in the front, and there's an FM antenna input on the back. I don't get many FM channels since I'm not connected to an antenna, but even with my metal roof, two or three managed to come in clearly even so. The sound is not going to blow your socks off like a large unit, but for it's size, I think it's better than many shelf and/or portable units. There is no bass boost, to speak of. Although you can switch between rock, pop, classic, and jazz modes, I found them to be totally useless, and didn't percieve any change in sound no matter which mode was used. All in all, the sound seems pretty well balanced anyway, with no tinny sound whatever. I like a little extra bass, and this had plenty for my tastes. The remote is thick enough that you don't feel like it's going to break. If this little unit had bass and treble adjustment, and a clock with a back up battery which showed the time as well as the media type playing, I'd have given it five stars. I don't regret my choice for the money I spent, and even with it's flaws, I'd buy it again.
