| I purchased this tuner two years ago now when Howard was doing his 'sound check' before leaving terrestrial radio. It gets warm, but I've fallen asleep with it on God knows how many times with it still running and no problems yet. I keep this thing 'hard-wired'. Either into a Sony receiver via 1/8" to RCA or, 1/8" to cassette adapter. Even with the cassette adapter the sound is good. Actually excellent. I have no complaints except for the remote. The remote well is not that durable in a 'shop' environment, in a ziploc bag. The tuner buttons themselves have taken plenty of use however, and offer no problems. I have read lots of bad reviews on this tuner but mine is great. Just think every NFL game, NBA, NASCAR, and most importantly Howard Stern in crisp audio regular radio can't touch. Just hard wire it. It's not difficult these days. Drop $100 for a head unit with a 1/8" plug in, maybe $160 for those of you not mechanically inclined to have said head unit installed. It will be the best thing you ever do. | |

| This is the 2nd one of these I have had, and the 2nd one my husband has had. The first two we got for X-Mas 2004 and were returning them both to JVC by Nov 2005. JVC gave us a horrible time, but since it was under warranty, they replaced both of them. Now, tonight, my light sensor per JVC has gone out and they won't replace it. I can ship it to them and they will look at it for $65 and then diagnose it. Well.. the lady told me over the phone what the problem was. Then she said they will charge me to fix it, then ship it back. WHAT??? I don't even know what to do. She suggested calling Circuit City or Best Buy for repair... both of them say NO WAY!! Well....not such good luck. When this unit works.. it is great... but we have had 4... and issues with all them.. Good luck! | |

| Very convenient to move this unit between the car and the boombox. However the FM modulator would not work at all in our new 4Runner, even with a simple antenna added to it. We use a cassette adapter -- it degrades the sound quality somewhat. If we had it installed again, we'd buy and install the adapter needed to connect the FM modulator output to our FM radio's antenna cable. The red display began to be intermittent before it was a year old, now it completely out (15 months old) and is going back to JVC. Hopefully they'll give us a refurbished unit in exchange. | |

| I've had this unit for a year and during that time, I've experienced the following: -Hissing no matter which FM station is chosen -Alert feature doesn't appear to work properly. Many times I am not alerted to the songs I have saved in my favorites. I'll turn the station and there's a song I have saved, but wasn't alerted. -The lighted display crapped out this weekend. It's dark. I am a Mom and don't ever remove this from my car. I rarely touch the unit and opt instead to use the remote. So the wear on it is minimal. It was a poor purchase at best. | |

| I purchased one of these when new back in 2004. The unit has worked ok for me, with the main quirk being about once every hour or two, I go through a 3 - 5 minute period of bad reception, presumably as it shifts from one satelite to another. I was unable to utilize the fm modulator as it was weak, but went to a hard wired connection to my radio using a cable purchased from Crutchfield. My main issue with this unit is that there are newer units available for the same or slightly more money, which have replay options and better displays. I would consider those options before purchasing this unit. | |

| I have two seperate units. One hardwired to my car, and the other is the JVC unit. I hooked it directly into the audio (aux) ports of my Radio, rather than use an fm station. It works great, the sound quality is excellent as well - (and my radio is so old it play's 8-tracks!!!!). I did notice that the unit tends to run a bit warm to hot. I agree with the previous reviews, that it is something that JVC needs to look into, perhaps it is simply a matter of a "heat sink-er" not being in specs, as yet, I have encountered no problems (having had the JVC unit for 1.5 years) No matter. As to the commercial free: Sirius (which I have had a subscription to for the past 4 years) has commercial free radio, though the news stations and a few others do have commercials. Those stations are clearly defined as being in the commercial block. The music stations are 100% free of commercial. All in all a damn cheap price to pay for avoidance of all those really irritating DJ's, commerical's, and lack of variety in stations! ~Cheers! | |

| For the longest time I really didnt think $12 a month was worth this kind of radio but after buying the sr-2000 and getting it all hooked up in my car I soon changed my mind. Biggest thing for me is hardly any DJ talking, they really keep the music going. I noticed on a couple other reviews this was not the case, I listen to only the rock stations so I cant comment on other stations. I live in the Seattle area and using the FM modulator really sucked, every station had static. I found an audio input cable online to fit my car stereo for a direct connection and oh man what a difference!! Crystal Clear! I did have to play with the bass and treble a bit to get the best sound and since I have a sub-woofer I used the fader a couple of clicks to the front (away from the sub) and really got it sounding great. It doesnt sound as good as a CD but much better than regular Radio. So I bought another car kit and I have the boom box for in the house. I did notice the unit getting a little warm but nowhere near hot. | |

| I purchased this receiver in December 2005. It worked like a champ until February 2006 when it began to have issues with decoding the satellite signal. The unit works for five minutes from cold start up, then the audio cuts out. Display still shows program info. Being an experienced PC user, I turned the unit off and back on, repeatedly. The message "Acquiring Signal" displays permanently, even though the Antenna Aiming screen shows full SAT and TER signal bars. My best guess is that a ROM or RAM chip cooked. This unit runs hot! JVC has been less than helpful. It sucks to have to landfill a $100 piece of hardware, but no one will touch it. It's my last purchase from JVC. Glad I didn't purchase the Sirius "lifetime" license! | |

| This Unit performs well, both in the car and home. It performs best at home as you can plug it right into your stereo vs. using a unused FM frequency. This might work ok in rural areas, but in urban areas how long is the FM frequency "unused"? In my experience living in Chicago, not very far. then you get static and fumble to change the frequency to another unused station. Plus you have this thing hanging out from your dash, very noticable expecially to theives so it's then one more then you have to remove and hide or take with you. If you want Sirius in your car, invest in a head unit and be done with it. This unit works great at home and if you get an extra kit, you can take it to your office and hook it up there. It has a remote and I've had no problems with it whatsoever at home. Like I said, for the car I ended up getting a separate head unit and would advise people to do the same. | |
