Hi
Just wondering if anyone has this. Looking to use as dab radio and pc speakers.
It looks like it's currys exclusive, but they don't have a picture of the unit from the back. Does it have any analog audio inputs too?
The specs seem good for the price but is it any good?

I couldn't find it also ...are you trying to tell us it's cheap tat badged up as JVC ?
Not sure where you got that impression from based on what I posted???
Anyway when you do get to the manual the first thing that appears is a large font statement from JVC themselves about the device
Which implies that JVC don't really want much to do with it even though they made it.

Apologies but when I pasted the model number in the search section of the JVC
website it came up as not known.Thanks for your help.
Thanks for this ..I pasted the model number in the JVC website search section as it came up as not known ..clearly I had put it in the wrong search section
There is a Search box at the top of the home page and that one will certainly tell you it doesn't exist. But if you go to the Support Centre and then the Downloads page there is a product search box in the middle of the page that does find it.
JVC pulled out of the UK a few years back, and Comet bought the rights to the name - and we all know how well that went
But even back before then JVC often just 'bought-in' and badged equipment.
Anything remotely recent is likely to be nothing whatsoever to do with JVC though, interesting to hear that Currys have the name now - I'd not paid much attention lately
Its UK factory closed in 2008.
If it makes you happy, then JVC TV pulled out of the UK
I wasn't aware of any connection to Kenwood?, who pulled out of the UK many years earlier - the Car Audio side though was separate and not affected.
You mean 'assembly plant' - 'factory' implies they actually manufactured things there
Again, it's unclear what you mean about pulled out, do you mean one particular product line or the whole company. But that's by the by, JVC and Kenwood merged in October 2011. http://www.jvckenwood.co.jp/en/whats/
As far as I'm aware it was the entire home audio side, in-car wasn't affected as it was run separately.
As for JVC and Kenwood 'merging' what does that mean for the UK?, they still seem to have little presence or product, and nothing I've noticed in the markets they abandoned.
I think what JVC Kenwood sells in the UK is pretty much its global offering. The JVC US site lists TVs but this goes to a separate site as the brand is just licensed to AmTRAN of Taiwan.
JVC is a trademark of JVC KENWOOD Corp,used by DSG Retail under license.
Overall its not bad,DAB and Bluetooth is are very good.....i actually bought it over the cheaper LOGIK branded item as this one had a better remote and much more inputs.....2 x optical.....2 x rca analogue and 1 x coax digital....running the tv through the optical in a bedroom is ok,could do with a bit more bass,might try an analogue connection.....overall i would say its best suited in a bedroom or as a stand alone player or with a pc,its not just as good as my main living room Panasonic Htb170 soundbar but for the price its ok.....its better than tv speakers at least.
