Update: I originally gave this 4 stars but I wish I could go back and set it to three.
Original:
I had this installed this weekend after buying it on Amazon.
I did not install an amp or any subs – just straight to my Infinity speakers. It sounds great.
I love the sound and I love the options of using DVD data discs, USB sticks, and Bluetooth from my iPhone. They were all flawless.
I could go on and on about what I love about this unit but it would be a rather large rambling of nonsense. I’m not an audiophile but I am a nerd and this really has a lot of nerd points.
I do have a few gripes that may I wish they would have thought out more. These are more “polish” than anything else really.
1. The fonts look cheap. I bought this on Amazon so I did not get a good idea what the fonts would look like. When I went to get it installed, I saw this deck next to an Alpine and immediately knew some corners were cut on the JVC. The fonts look like the kind you find on the menu screen of a cheap DVD player.
2. I would like the option of having the cover art expand to full screen. Also, I would like better wallpaper choices.
3. The unit can handle 5000 files per DVD or USB stick, which is quite a lot, but the displaying and searching for those songs is miserable. They give you a grid of 6 (3 wide 2 high) and you only get to see the first 15 characters of the file or folder names. They do have a scroll bar that lets you scroll to the next 6, but this gets old when you throw a few hundred folders on it.
4. It does not seem to handle playlists from DVD or USB. Maybe there is a filetype I am missing. The repeat and random functions are limited to tracks and folders so you may want to consider that when building out your play media instead of just copying a folder tree from your mp3 area.
5. This is what knocked it down from 4 to 3 stars for me. It has a 1s gap between mp3’s. Even when I go in and tell it not to display the tags or album art, there is still a gap. 1s is the minimum. It is sometimes slightly longer. If you ripped any CDs that were recorded without any gaps between songs, you may want to consider ripping the entire CD into one mp3. You won’t be able to jump tracks, but at least it will sound good. I haven’t tested it on the iPod/iPhone yet.
Rating: 4 / 5

I’ve owned plenty of car stereos in my 53 year life and this is the best II’ve ever owned. It all the feature any body would want. Most dvd players will not play mp3 on dvd but will play mp3 on cd. This one will and boy you can put a lot of mp3s on a dvd.

The Bestseller21 have very good response in the shipping, i installed the JVC KD-AVX77 and I’m impressed, good sound, the quality of the monitor it’s excellent, if you thinking to buy it, i can recommend this product, the only thing im gonna miss is the original old control in my steering wheel. Im very satisfied with all the features.

Great unit, did everything that is said. The only thing that would make this unit better is to have an easier ipod control and faster response time for the overall operation

The KD-AVX77 is the deck I have been waiting for. I have always wanted my concerts on DVD in my truck and now I have them! The Bluetooth audio is EXCELLENT, pairing is a snap and the sound is like a CD. The iPod cable works great and the features this deck has allows you to image the music anyway you like.
The phone feature using the iPhone 3GS is so nice. Hands free calls are clear and clean, no one has complained about their end sounding like you are in a tube with the supplied microphone. No more hiding from the police where talking and driving is banned and no more aggravation with an earpiece!
All the touch screen functions are easy and allow you to keep your eyes on the road. The great thing is once you get the deck setup, there is just a little fine tuning for each source type and BAM, you’re done.
Get one only if you love music in your vehicle as much as live and loud!
