I recently tested this JVC DVD player and I came away very impressed. For all of you cinephiles out there you will be pleased with the 3 tray system that is offered here. No more getting up off your couch and changing individual DVD's manually. The JVC model changes the DVD's without much fuss and within a matter of seconds. I was very pleased with how seamless this action took place. Every function from scene selection to scene advancement works within a split second. Even the initial DVD reading works very quickly and efficiently. I was really impressed by the speed at which this JVC DVD player works at and I think you will too. The DVD player has many "bells and whistles" (Many of them I won't use). I particularly liked the zoom feature, 3-D phonic sound booster (for those who have limited hi-fi stereo capabilities, and 16:9 anamorphic enhancement.

The only drawback is the remote control. The size of the buttons (usually a big problem because most are too small) and... Read more

I recently bought the JVC DVD player. The three disc tray is very helpful. It is a great looking machine. The JVC has good picture quality. It has quite a few extra features (most I will never use.) The price is what sells this. That is very hard to beat. It does have a couple drawbacks though:

The remote control is awful. I dont know who designed it but it needs some serious improvements. Buttons our in awful places. Many buttons you will need to use our so small you have to be looking at the remote right up close to find it. The other main problem is the loading time. Once you put a new CD or DVD in, it seems to take forever to load. At the menu screens, you press a button and wait for about 7 seconds. This is much longer than it should be.

Overall, I would recommend this product to people who want a new remote control and for people who have a lot of patience. Another reason, that great price.

Ok, I've been reading the reviews on this one and I figured I put my 2 cents in. First of all, this is NOT the player for you if you want CD-R, CD-RW or MP3 capability. I'm sure there are others out there that will appeal to your needs so stop reading now. That said, I'll touch on the positive first, then the drawbacks. This was my first DVD player. I wanted a brand known for high quality and made room in my budget accordingly. I had a basic, 27" Panasonic TV with S-Video inputs and NO receiver. I got this home, hooked it up via the S-video cable and used my basic component cables for the sound. I popped in a dvd and, all I can say is WOW! The picture itself was incredible.... it rivaled the digital TV demos I'd seen in various stores. I'm sure alot of you out there are saying "whatever" but it was that good! I was so pleased. Then, after reading up on the additional features this player had, I began to play around with some of them. It was a heck of a lot... Read more
