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

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

JVC XV-S500BK was a good buy

 

So far we have been very pleased with the features and quality of this player. It has many fast-forward and reverse play speeds, extremely good and powerful zooming features, and so far has done an excellent job of playing PAL (European) format DVDs on...

Host of features, progressive scan, NTSC and PAL playback

Poorly written manual, no DVD audio/SACD playback

Progressive scan at great price

 

I replaced a $1000 Sony DVD player with this $139 player just to get progressive scan. (I know, but the $1000 model was several years old.) The picture on my HDTV was glorious, of course, and made the investment that much better.

Price, progressive scan

Drawer takes five seconds to open

JVC XV-S500BK DVD Player With Progressive Scan

 

The main feature of the JVC XV-S500BK DVD player is its progressive scan capability. The S500BK currently sells for $159 at amazon.com and represents a great value for a progressive scan DVD player (if you have an HDTV or an HDTV-compatible TV).

Price, performance, features, universal remote, plays MP3, reads JPEG, CD-R and CD-RW

Looks cheap, no MP3 program/scan/shuffle
