JVC Vintage JVC XL-V 141 CD player 80s

The XL-V 141’s front panel is simply styled, with a minimum of controls, and its titanium finish is a welcome change from the usual black. A mechanical button is used to switch power on and off. The other buttons are electronic, including what is surely one of the world’s largest drawer open/close buttons, making this very important control easy to find. A row of large buttons handles other basic transport operations: two-speed forward and backward scan, forward and backward track skip, and stop. To one side is a large play/pause button.

When the machine is not in the play or pause mode, the two scan buttons can be used for track-sequence editing. For automatic editing, you load a disc and press the scan button labeled auto edit one or more times to select the cassette
