 good sound but.... November 4, 2008
Poorav Chaudhari
I upgraded my factory ready car stereo with this, and that for a very reasonable price. I am very happy with the sound, even without changing the speakers, there is a huge jump in the sound quality.
I have only one gripe with this stereo. Setting the equalizers is a pain. Basically, the controls take a little getting used to, and that I can deal with, but the equalizers are just plain painful. I decided to just leave the factory settings.
Overall, I am happy with the purchase.

I purchased my JVC KDG340 for my 2002 Toyota Corolla. I paid $83 through amazon and even managed to get free shipping!! All I was looking for was a CD player because the toyota didn't have one when I bought it. I figured for the price I couldn't go wrong but I still wanted good sound and the bluetooth option also caught my eye on this system. Installation went easier then I ever could have imagined. Once done the system looked great in my dash and once I powered it up, to my amazement it sounded even better!
The KDG340 comes with sever pre-set equilizer setting that give diffrent styles of sound. The selections are rock, jazz, hip-hop and a user selection that you can create yourself depending on your own taste. For me the pre-set equilizer choices are fine to my needs. Setting up the FM stations was easy. Typical of most units, just go to the stations that you listen to, then press and hold in the number that you want to save that station to.
I also purched a JVC BTA200 Bluetooth adapter for my new stereo. This turned out to be the best part!! Im matched perfectally with the JVC KDG340. Installation was really easy. My verizon cell phone immediatly 'paired up' with it and in minutes I was able to use my cell phone hands free. In the BT-AUDIO mode, if listining to a radio station or a CD and a phone call comes in, it immediatly quiets the music and answers the phone call. The sound of the phone call comes through the stereo speakers so you can even turn up the volume so you can hear better. I installed a small microphone (included) on my dash that plugs right into the BTA200.
Lastly I also added a set of Boss 300W speakers for the back of the car that to my amazement I only paid $25 online. So for under $200 I now have a great sounding stereo that has bluetooth for my cell.

This is a great sounding CD/MP3 player, and much better than my factory system. It fit right into my 95 Legacy, without any dash kit. I bought the system because it had CD/MP3 playback and a front auxiliary jack, and the price was under $100.
The manual is pretty good, with some broken English. The volume knob is not tall, making it hard for your fingers to grab. The "equalizer" has several adjustments for bass, midrange, and treble, each having a adjustable frequency, level, and Q or slope. This allows the user to get very tweaked sound that I heard on no car audio with just the level adjustments. Unfortunately, adjusting the sound is not intuitive, (actually, not many of the functions on this stereo are intuitive), and you have to wave your hands around the the panel from one end to get into the equalizer mode, and to the other to make the adjustments. Once your in the adjustment mode (the small circular 4-way button), you have to be careful not to hit left/right button at the wrong time, because the track will change!
On the radio end, the user can customize the station names. If your searching for a new station the left/right buttons on the 4-way button is used. I have not been able yet to figure out how too switch between manual search and auto search, although it seems to switch from time to time. I prefer to have a knob to manually search through stations, which I think is typically quicker when going through a long range.
Although this is my first CD receiver w/MP3 playback and optional satellite/HD radio, bluetooth, functionality, I find it to be the worst of all CD receivers I had in terms of controls. On most systems, I can figure out settings/functions pretty easily from the button location and names, but this system just seems to have buttons in a spot where it fits and makes the face look nice and curvy. If your interested in this, or any other reciever, I would suggest going to an electronics store first to get your hands on the display models and testing. However, if you listen to similar sounding music most of the time, once the sound is optimized it will sound great.

DO NOT BUY JVC. They have the worst coustomer service. They damaged my radio after it needed minor repairs. Now it needs major repairs. They said i did it. I didn't. This radio only had about 2 months of use on it when it broke.
