I had a Sony before this and was very frustrated with all the menus and submenus and poor sunlight display. I just wanted a radio that was easy to use and worked well. This does the job and its cheap. Once again the display could be brighter but it's acceptable. Easy to access menus. Somewhat smallish remote. Good FM and AM reception. Good sound. No Bluetooth.

Takes a little bit to figure out how to operate but worth the effort sounds great and pumps my 6x9's in my van pretty good all 4 of them 2in the rear and 2 in the door panel with this system punches power into those speakers and I can actually see the mirrors vibrate from the power the radio alone puts out best regards to an excellent system thanks guys the only down fall it has , is you can only program 6fm stations and not 18 like the radio manufacture claims, you do not have 24channel presets only 6am and 6fm and this was the reason I had purchased this radio to preset the 18fm channels that now after purchasing one that it does not give you all of what it claims crapola

I'm coming at this review from the standpoint of my career as an audio engineer where the one must develop a pronounced, instinctive response to quality problems present in an audio source. In the case of the JVC KD-R330, I was immediately struck by the complete absence of any irritating or annoying audio attributes. For an audio product at this price range, it was a complete surprise and a very pleasant one. When the EQ section is in the default setting, the sound is well defined, clean and free of fatiguing resonances with a frequency balance that is surprisingly smooth and neutral. Music is satisfying and well represented and speech is clean and clear. That said, the lowest of the bass frequencies are a little lean, but this is far better (for my tastes) than the typically "hyped," and acutely overstated bass response found in most contemporary car audio systems. There is however, a preset EQ selection that mimics the resonant and thundering "boom-box" style of audio EQ that rattles the entire neighborhood, but the KD-R330 is a little short on power for that kind of thing which makes the dynamic range collapse when the demand is high. For those who want some small tweaks in the playback response, there is a custom EQ feature that gives users access to a multi-band EQ. While this feature a bit cumbersome to access and use, the outcome can be stored as a preset so that once you get what you want, that chore is out of the way for the life of the unit. Given the price of well under $100, it's hard to imagine finding something better without spending four or five times that amount. I have to give it five stars, two thumbs up, and a technological achievement award for a price to performance ratio that seems almost too good to be true.Read full review

went in quite nicely with the addition of a metra short loom and a plastic dash piece..looks great. Function control on this unit is a little confusing and until you know it I'd suggest sitting in the driveway with the booklet open and try everything....hard to do while driving and new to it....but once you're up and running it's wonderful.. The little metra harness plugged me right into my vehicle's stock harness and the factory 4 speakers deliver some throbbing bass and piercing treble!!!I'm happy and it's a real window rattler!!! Did'nt think much of the remote at first,but I glued Velcro to it and put it on top of the column and it really increased the convenience factor!! Passengers seem impressed with it.....makes the car look worth thousands more....install piece made it easy and quick as well.... Good price and another unit in my future now..Read full review

I bought this radio for my older pick up for a trip to replace an indash cassette player. When I first got it hooked up I was really pleased, everything seemed to work great. In the afternoon of the first day it stopped working with a screen reading check wiring and reset, which requires removing the face and poking a toothpick sized hole, then replacing the face. Very hard to do driving down the road and untill you reset it, of course, no sound. When we got to the first Hotel(yes we, I did not remove faceplate while driving, my wife did) I took the radio out and checked all wiring, which appears to be fine and tight. Well after 2 more days on the road and 4 more resets, this radio is coming out. Sure I could have gotten the warrenty for another 10 bucks,but how would that have helped my 3 day trip. For the extra 10 I could have just bought a decent radio, and not have to bother with the 2 weeks of no radio shipping back and forth just to have them say its an electrical item and I must have done something wrong. In my life so far I have installed about 15 indash radio's for myself and almost as many for friends so I have a pretty good idea of what I'm doing. Also I did pull it out and check my work.Read full review
