5 out of 5 stars Nice   November 1, 2009
I 'ate you, Butler... (uk)

Straight in, turned it on and off it goes.
Nice big knob for adjusting the volume, much better than silly little buttons that you can only hit when driving on newly laid tarmac.
The usb port is great. Drag and drop to your usb memory stick, bung it in and off you go. No more cds flying around the cab.



5 out of 5 stars Can fault this radio   January 11, 2010
Jonathan R. Jones (portishead)
I bought this model in particular for front facing USB and jack-plug input. Sound is very good, its easy to set up and use, buttons are easy to find - can't fault it. It finds the USB devices everytime (unlike some other radios I've tried) and the track navigation although simple (dont expect an IPod interface) is easy to use.

The instructions came in every language except english (!) but they were easy to find on the internet.



4 out of 5 stars Almost perfect   June 12, 2009
M. Johnson (Cheshire, UK)

As the kind of driver who demands control of his own tunes (personal obsession - sorry) I'm always looking for a CD unit that I can control with my eyes shut. As I don't like looking away from the road to change tracks, the best CD players always have simple interfaces with the fewest buttons possible, arranged in an easily accessible format and big enough so that I can stab at them without looking and be fairly sure that I will hit the button I was after. Simply put, this hits all of those bases perfectly. Add that to the usual 3.5m port for MP3 players, the USB port for memory sticks (something that I'm using more and more) and excellent sound quality.
The only problem, although this will probably sound like a really poor reason to give 4 stars instead of 5, is that no case is provided for the detachable faceplate. You can either buy your own and hope it fits, or go without a case and risk snapping something off the rather breakable faceplate. It seems like a really silly flaw in what is otherwise a fantastic system for this price.



4 out of 5 stars JVC KD-R401 CD/MP3/USB car stereo Great value for money   September 6, 2009

I purchased this item because of the mp3 features.You can plug in your mp3 player direct via the aux in (on front panel) or usb (also on front panel). If you use the aux in (simply connect using a stereo speaker 3.5mm mini-jack from your headphone jack on the mp3 to the aux in on the unit) you can control your music selection from the mp3 player only.If you choose to use the usb connection you will have full control of your music via the unit itself,unit displays information providing the TAG option (through the units menu)is selected, also charges the mp3 player via the usb.
Excellent product with ease of use and excellent sound quality as expected with a product from this manufacturer.
My purchase did not come with English instruction manual,this can be downloaded in PDF file from the JVC website quite easily.
Would recommend this product.



4 out of 5 stars Generally good   February 7, 2010
Mr. Andrew P. Thorn (Devon, UK)
I'm using an 8GB memory stick in this, and have standard (stock) speakers so no modifications yet. The overall sound is very clear - it's quite loud if you leave the LOUD setting on, but turned off it's not very loud if you're a serious music fan who likes the volume up. It looks nicer than some other faces with more buttons - obviously the down side to this is that you have to go through more menus to change settings as there are less "shortcut" buttons on the front. A minor annoyance is that it goes to Demo mode on the display if you don't press the DISPLAY button each time you turn it on (meaning that instead of displaying which artist/track you're on it goes through the demo display cycle). However this is the only reason it gets 4 instead of 5 stars.
