JVC KW-XC410 Double DIN In-Dash CD/Cassette Receiver with J-Bus Expandable (Black) Review

I have a '93 Toyota Celica convertible and the amp died. So because the factory radio was missing some knobs and the cd player and cassette were on their last legs, I decided to go ahead and replace it. I bought this JVC unit because it fit the car and had all the features of the original unit (and then some)with the exception of an external amp. I also bought 2 new rear speakers because the old ones were pretty shot. The unit was installed in August.
We only drive the car in the summer so we didn't get a chance to use the new stereo very long. But now we are back to driving the car and I'm just getting used to the stereo again. I had set the equalizer so that I could have a custom sound with more bass. Without the external amp, the stereo is not as rich as it could be. It was a necessity with the factory stereo, but with the JVC, my custom setting works pretty well unless I turn the sound up too loud, in which case the speakers distort.
What I really like about the JVC is the external plug in which I can plug in an MP3 player and even my phone, which can store and play music. I also have an XM radio which is powered by plugging into the cig lighter and the sound is produced out of the stereo by using a cassette adapter. Although the JVC has an optional satellite radio adapter, I just use the aforementioned method thru the cassette player which works just fine. (Besides, we can take the XM radio out of the convertible and use it in our other cars with cassette players.)
The unit sticks out a little bit from the dash but it appears to be designed that way. The unit includes a cutout piece of plastic that fits around the outside perimeter of the unit to give it a finished, built-in look. I think it looks good in my car. It has quite a few features so it does take some learning time to get comfortable with it. For a replacement stereo, I'm very happy with it.

Sony Mini-DV Cassette DVC Premium Series 80 Minute Review

If I got the right product, this is a great price! My box (which is marked "For Customer Use") came as pack of 5 80-minute MiniDV tapes. The price is cheaper than a pack of 5 60 minute Sony MiniDV tapes!

Maxell VP100 Vhs Dry Video Head Cleaner Review

I bought the stick for my 86-year-old mother, and she loves it. She even traded in the trusty mop handle she had been using (and I hated). The stick has a rubber tip on the bottom which greatly reduces the risk of slipping. The handle is a nice, molded grip. The top segment can be raised and locked into place. This joint stays locked, creating a taller stick. However, the one flaw I found was the lock on the bottom segment. It will not stay locked. Any pressure and the segment slides (telescopes) back into the larger segment. Very risky for an old woman, so we don't use this lock. That aside, the stick is well made and my mother likes and uses it.
