Until this DVD player only used JVC

 

the player was excellent and as it was used in our living room

Good until the warranty is off and then don't call JVC

It is an expensive throw away DVD player

Caused me to switch manufacturers

 

We have had this DVD player for a little over a year. We had no problems until recently when it started powering down for no reason. It has gotten to the point where it powers up for about 0.5 seconds and then shuts itself off. With a warranty of 12...

Worked great for a year

Powers down immediately when turning it on. Repair = $49 minimum

Looks like I'm not alone

I signed on to complain about the skipping and visual garbage I've been experiencing. It got especially bad just now trying to watch my new Star Wars DVDs. I wish I'd read these reviews before wasting my money (much more than it's selling for now) on...

JVC SB500BK DVD Player is a good buy!

 

Its a good buy, even though I got it for Christmas. This is possibly the most flexible DVD player in its price range - Video outs include Composite, S-Vid and Component, and audio has both Optical and Coaxial Digital, Unbalanced Left and right, and a...

Flexibility of outputs is awsome

One more remote. Who needs one more remote

BUYER BEWARE: JUNK!!!

 

I bought this unit a year ago. The picture quality and features were excellent for the price, so for the most part I thought I made a good purchase.

Excellent picture quality

No durability. All units break down beyond repair

Same problem as the Dec 24 2003 reviewer

 

Same problem as the Dec 24 2003 reviewer

Will not turn on out of STANDBY mode. The unit is about 15 months old. If anybody has figured out a cost-effective way to solve this, please post

LASTED A MONTH PAST WARRANTY

After reviewing and deciding to buy this unit, I was satisfied with the performance until 13 months after buying....wont turn on out of standby. The problem is, it is cheaper to buy a replacement than get fixed based on labor and parts. However, my...

A Great machine

 

A Great machine

I checked all the ratings on this DVD player. They were all good, except for maybe 1. This is my first DVD Player and I've had no problems with it. So far I have had it for 6 months. I'm glad I bought this model. Also very easy to hook up.

disappointing

 

disappointing

Nice small design, but with problems. Like some of the reviewers. when it gets into about one hour of play, it starts skipping and superimposing. Now I have to have it serviced. I thought it was the dvds, but its not

Consumer review by:

No Memory of where you left off?

 

No Memory of where you left off?

I give this DVD player a 4 out of 5 only because I was used to a feature on our old DVD player that when you turned off the machine, if you did not eject the DVD- it kept your place in memory so that the next time you turned on the DVD player you could...
