JVC XV-BP1 Blu-ray Player Review

JVC's XV-BP1 has a terribly bright light at the front of its unit, reminding one a bit of the flood lamps at the front of the spaceship in Close Encounters of the Third Kind. The brightness can potentially be off-putting, especially with close...

JVC XV-BP 1

The JVC XV-BP 1 is a Blu-ray player, on the market since summer 2009 and currently selling from 240 GBP online.

Quiet, economical, and fast ; Superb picture for movies and HD documentaries ; Bitstream HD-audio output ; Easy multimedia playback from a disc or via USB

Weaknesses in DVD de-interlacing ; Incomplete DTS-HD decoder ; No picture controls ; Too few multimedia extras

JVC’s first Blu-ray player leaves no room for criticism in the core disciplines, and draws a high score as a result: It’s fast and quiet and can play back multimedia content. Simple operation adds to the list of positives, as does the excellent overall...

JVC XV-BP1 Blu-ray Player Reviewed

JVC decided to wait and see who won the Blu-ray v. HD-DVD format war before entering the high-definition disc market. Now that the victor is clear, the company has introduced its first Blu-ray player. The XV-BP1 is a Profile 2.0 player with BD-Live and...

The JVC XV-BP1 supports 1080p/24 playback of Blu-ray discs

The XV-BP1 lacks multichannel analog audio outputs, so it's not the best choice for someone who owns an older, non-HDMI A/V receiver ; This player does not offer any type of VOD streaming function, nor does it feature a wireless option for connection...

The XV-BP1's feature set is on par with other players in the sub-$300 range. It lacks perks like VOD streaming and wireless network connectivity, but it sports the must-have features we look for in a new Blu-ray player.

Blu-Ray maybe a Sony to me mostly, but this JVC is excellent.

Did you ever get one of those deals where you couldn't afford NOT to buy something? Yes I know that sounds silly, but the JVC XV-BP1 Blu-Ray, is such a player. JVC USA, indicates that this player was and is $229.95. That is the nominal sweet spot ...

Great Video performance,easy firmware update, easy use, good value

Remote could be better arranged, analog audio quality

Buy it because you have DVD's - you do not need Blu-Rays!

I rarely review, but I do feel like I should for this Blu-Ray player. Bottom line: up-scaling is so good that you do not need to rent Blu-Rays. I am somewhat of an audiophile, and overall I feel like I have good eye for differences in video, and so I...
