Description:

Looking for a compact stereo system with slamming low-end authority? Look no further. Whether JVC's HX-Z30 can really be called "compact" may open to debate, but rest assured that the system houses a five-disc super-slim magazine changer, a dual-well, full-logic cassette deck, an FM/AM tuner with 45 presets (30 FM, 15 AM), as well as 80 watts per channel for the speakers and a rafter-rattling 190 watts per channel for the system's two large-diaphragm subwoofers.

The speakers are in many ways the focal point of the HX-Z30. Each speaker is outfitted with a 5.75-inch cone woofer, a two-inch cone tweeter, and an additional 7.875-inch cone subwoofer with six-layer voice coils for extra efficiency. The subwoofers even get their own separate, three-position level control.

The CD player offers play exchange, letting you swap two discs while the third plays, and 99-track programming for extended and custom-sequenced music listening sessions. A single-bit digital-to-analog converter delivers your music with clarity and punch. CD synchro-start recording makes copying discs to cassette a cinch. Three preset and three custom equalizer curves and four simulated surround sound settings (dance/club/hall/stadium) grant flexibility in tailoring the system's sound to your musical preferences.

What's in the Box
