Reviews of the JVC KD-PDR30 CD Receiver
-
CNET Review
The Good: The JVC KD-PDR30 comes ready to play iPods out of the box. Its bright display, simple faceplate design, and innovative D-pad make the system easy to use on the move, and we like its auxiliary input jack for non-iPodrians.
The Bad: As with many other "made-for-iPod" car stereos, the KD-PDR30 fails to give users a means of quickly and easily navigating large iPod libraries.
The Bottom Line: The JVC KD-PDR30 looks and sounds good, and its standard iPod connectivity will endear it to those looking to take their iTunes on the road. However, its lack of a decent search mechanism for navigating large iPod lists means that it fails one of its primary usability functions.
