JVC KD-AVX40 El Kameleon DVD/CD/USB Receiver Review
December 7th, 2009
JVC KD-AVX40 El Kameleon DVD/CD/USB Receiver Review from Jim Stainer. Good display but bad everything else, I love the display on this unit it is really bright and fun. It sounds great too. But it is a seriously dangerous toy to have in your vehicle. Trying to adjust the volume or anything else on the unit while driving is near impossible. It is super touchy and you have to be very accurate where you touch the pad to change things. That means you have to take your attention off the road to work it. The remote works fine for volume and source but who wants to fumble with it all the time. Besides there are no audio controls on the remote. To change the sub or EQ settings you have to go through 3 layers of menus and about 10 key strokes. Who ever designed this disaster must not adjust the sub and EQ for different types of music like the rest of the world.
Bottom line is it looks very cool but it is very difficult to work. I used it for 2 weeks and replaced it with a boring Alpine 9886 that has a wonderful big volume knob and 1 touch access to the audio controls. It has a lousy display but much safer and more functional. So anyone want to buy a slightly used JVC?
