Although it's a budget model, the JVC XL-FZ258BK five-disc carousel player still satisfies many requirements for ergonomic operation and quality sound reproduction. JVC equips the XL-FZ258BK with play exchange, which lets you change any four discs while one is playing. An optical digital output lets you record direct to CD-R or minidisc for pure digital copies and also facilitates integration with a surround receiver and home theater.

JVC has long been recognized for its dedication to high sound quality. Accordingly, this player offers JVC's exclusive P.E.M. D.D. (Pulse Edge Modulation Differential-Linearity-Errorless) digital-to-analog (D/A) converter, touted by many as one of the most accurate and 'musical' one-bit D/As available. The converter is designed to render all the delicacy and subtlety of recorded music, and an 8x oversampling digital filter lends a helping hand.

Conveniences include continuous play and smart random play, five individual disc-select keys on the front panel, and a remote control with 10-key pad for direct disc and track access. The XL-FZ258BK also offers a 20-track program chart, resume functionality (letting you pick up where you left off before you turned off the player), program play (up to 32 tracks and/or discs), and four-way repeat (which lets you repeat all tracks, a single track, programmed tracks, and random-play options).

JVC has thoughtfully provided an independent volume control for the player's headphone jack, and the unit comes with a disc-stabilizing clamper to reduce potentially sound-degrading internal vibrations.

JVC's enhanced Compu Link control system uses intuitive technology to foster communication between various JVC components. This unit comes with a one-year warranty on parts and a 90-day warranty on labor.

This was purchsed to replace an older Cd player that quit working. It has been great, plays with good quality sound and easy to use--an important factor for a technology-challenged person like me!

Buyer's feedback: - You Can't Beat The Specs For The Price
Many people will tell you that you can't tell one CD player or CD changer from another as far as sound. Well it seems as though I can and this JVC machine has the best specs in it's price range. I listen to everything from Rock to Classical and the reproduction of this machine is second to none. There are more "advanced" CD changers that cost two or even three times as much and yet they don't come close to the sound of this CD changer.

I guess I am bad talking about the features of this machine. So I will leave that up to somebody else. I will say that you can load three CDs at one time which is more than most CD changers. I just like it for the meat and potatoes of the basics of sound reproduction.

EDIT: Right now I am a man with two stereos. I know that I should be so lucky. This JVC is with my OLD "A" system. I have owned this model or the 158 just below it a few times before. My last JVC 258 lasted only 9 months before starting to skip uncontrollably. I have had durability problems with this model even though as I've said it has the best specs in it's class. When not owning the JVC I've owned a Harmon Kardon which sounded superior, but costed more, and broke after only 3 months. I've also owned Sony's both the budget, mid, and high-end models and have various problems from not being satified with the sound to not being able to play copies or MP3's. Currently my "B" system has a Yamaha 697 which has great specs, but is more expensive. I hope the Yamaha will be more durable.

Buyer's feedback: - * As Advertised, Very Pleased ...
This is a quality CD player. Definitely meets and exceeds my expectations. The many options for playback allow you to program any sequence you may wish.

Buyer's feedback: - Good Stuff
I bought this CD changer to replace an older version that, after years of excellent service, finally refused to recognise the presence of a CD. So far, it is as reliable in service and quality as its predecesor. I recommend it.
