Description
ONLY EUROPE SHIPPING Micro component stereo system that includes CD/Tuner (UX-RL1), Cassette deck/amp (UX-RA1) and speaker system (UX-B1001).Also includes AUX imput, for bluetooth for example The complete JVC UX-1 microcomponent system is about the size of a large familys Thanksgiving turkey. But when it comes to performance, this new JVC is far from a turkey.It gobbles no space and crows with great sound. JVC stuffs it with an AM/ FM stereo tuner, an autoreverse cassette deck with Dolby B noise reduction, and a full-featured CD player, but it costs very little bread. Its $600 price will leave you plenty of gravy.With this microcomponent system, JVC bested the current rage for mini-component systems. The UX-1s electronics consists of two modules: the CD player/tuner/amp and the cassette deck. While about the size of the average boombox, the UX-1 is far more attractive. Its also closer to a real component system, with separate speakers, electronics that can be stacked or placed side-by-side to fit your space, and a wireless 34-button remote control. The UX-1 uses house current, not batteries.Specifications sometimes are misleading. No one brags about their stereo having only 10 watts with a maximum of 10 percent distortion or a CD player with only 76 decibels of dynamic range, as is the case with the UX-1. But turn on the UX-1, insert your favorite disc or tape and listen. Youll be bragging about the sound to your friends.JVC designed a circuit that improves bass and reduces perceived distortion. The Active Hyper-Bass circuit resembles the loudness circuit on a stereo receiver. It boosts the bass at low volumes, lessening the amount of boost as the volume increases. Unlike a conventional loudness circuit, the Active Hyper-Bass circuit is designed by JVC with knowledge of the overload points of the UX-1 amplifier and speakers. No matter how high you increase the volume, the UX-1 resists the painful breakup distortion common with most boom boxes and mini-component systems. The UX-1 plays loudly enough to fill a good- size bedroom, den or dormitory room, without abrasive distortion.The CD player includes all the frills of stand-alone components, such as 20-track programming, random play and direct track-access (via the remote control). The single autoreverse cassette deck can operate in conjunction with the CD player for one-button CD copying. A computer circuit also can calculate the optimal track arrangement to fit the most music on each side of the cassette tape.The tape deck operates very smoothly and handles tape well. Its wow and flutter, which are slight speed variations, are a bit higher than a good separate component cassette deck. You might want to audition the deck with one of your own prerecorded tapes. There may be variations between different UX-1s. On metal tape, the deck records very good-quality dubs from CD. An automatic level-setting circuit eliminates the need to adjust recording levels. This reduces the chance of tape-overload distortion or noise from under-recording at the sacrifice of some dynamic range. The UX-1 manages an acceptable trade-off.The tuner stores 15 AM and 15 FM station presets, which it keeps in memory even during extended power outages. It receives nearly all the FM stations in a 40-mile radius in a listenable manner with only the supplied folded-dipole, T-shaped wire antenna. AM reception with the supplied loop antenna is also good. Stations 150 miles away come in quite clearly during the day.Two large, bright backlit amber LCDs (which give you black characters on a bright background) dominate the CD and amplifier/tuner segments of the UX-1. Besides CD tracks and time remaining, sound levels, radio station preset numbers and frequencies, one display also functions as a clock. The time remains visible on the unlit display even with the power off. The clock allows the unit to turn on or off at a preset time, like a clock radio.JVC serves quite a musical banquet with its UX-1 package. It provides home-cooked sound at a fast-food price and serves you sound the way you like it as soon as you turn on the power.
