There are no substitutes for Howard 100, I just need the stock to go up.
Either into a Sony receiver via 1/8" to RCA or, 1/8" to cassette adapter. I have read lots of bad reviews on this tuner but mine is great. I keep this thing 'hard-wired'. I purchased this tuner two years ago now when Howard was doing his 'sound check' before leaving terrestrial radio. 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. The tuner buttons themselves have taken plenty of use however, and offer no problems.
The remote well is not that durable in a 'shop' environment, in a ziploc bag.
Even with the cassette adapter the sound is good.
Just hard wire it.
It gets warm, but I've fallen asleep with it on God knows how many times with it still running and no problems yet.
Just think every NFL game, NBA, NASCAR, and most importantly Howard Stern in crisp audio regular radio can't touch.
Actually excellent.
I have no complaints except for the remote.
It's not difficult these days.
It will be the best thing you ever do.
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. She suggested calling Circuit City or Best Buy for repair. This is the 2nd one of these I have had, and the 2nd one my husband has had. the lady told me over the phone what the problem was. but we have had 4. I can ship it to them and they will look at it for $65 and then diagnose it. I don't even know what to do.
When this unit works. The first two we got for X-Mas 2004 and were returning them both to JVC by Nov 2005. both of them say NO WAY.Well.not such good luck. Well. Then she said they will charge me to fix it, then ship it back.WHAT. it is great. and issues with all them.Good luck.
Very convenient to move this unit between the car and the boombox. 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. 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. 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.
It's dark.I am a Mom and don't ever remove this from my car. 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. I rarely touch the unit and opt instead to use the remote. 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. So the wear on it is minimal. It was a poor purchase at best.
