JVC HX-GD8 5-disc shelf system with DVD playback

Get big, bass-rich sound with remarkable playback versatility! In addition to being a complete, self-contained music system, JVC's HX-GD8 features DVD playback, so you can easily connect this shelf system to your TV and enjoy your favorite movies — no complicated wiring or tricky hookup required. Get ready for a sharp DVD picture and dynamic movie sound.

The HX-GD8 also does a great job with your tunes. The 5-disc changer plays most types of music discs, including CD-Rs and CD-RWs containing MP3 and WMA (Windows Media Audio) files. Plus, you can take advantage of the single cassette deck and AM/FM tuner, and even hook up an additional source via the easily accessible front-panel aux input. That's a lot of entertainment options from one shelf system!

JVC packed the HX-GD8 with some serious audio muscle — dual amps dish out a whopping 550 watts of total system power. One amp powers the tweeters and dual woofers, while the second amp juices up the massive 7-7/8" subwoofers. You'll experience high-impact sound with impressive stereo separation. 3 EQ presets and 3 manual settings let you fine tune the sound, and you can control the low-frequency output using the 3-step bass control. With DVD movies, the selectable 3D Phonic mode deepens the soundstage for a simulated home theater effect. More power, more versatility, and more excitement — that's what the HX series from JVC is all about!
