Do you DVD? I do with JVC';s DVD Player

Pros Watch CD discs or play audio CD discs
Cons Building my confidence with a JVC
Recommended it? Yes

I wanted simplicity in a DVD player. A player that is simple to operate with a simple price. I found both when I purchased JVC?s XV-523GD DVD player.

I had been wanting a DVD player for well over a year, but I knew I could live without one since I had a nice Video player. But, for... Read full review »

Pros Sleek, 3D-Phonic, 2X Zoom feature
Cons none that I'm aware of yet......
Recommended it? Yes

The new JVC XV-523 DVD / CD player is wrapped in a sleek and fashionable looking champagne color. That's just the outside. The inside is set up so that there is no interference what-so-ever. The power supply, and analog audio and video circuits are kept seperate from one another. It's done that way... Read full review »

JVC XV-523GD DVD Player - Plays CD-R/W Discs

Pros Plays CD-R and CD-RW, inexpensive, good picture and sound, looks nice, shuttle control
Cons Remote
Recommended it? Yes

JVC XV-523GD can play CD-R and CD-RW discs in addition to regular DVD-Video, Video CD and CD-Audio. Not all players on the market do that, so if you mix your own CDs (or burn Video CD) or plan to do so, you might consider this model or other players that play CD-R/W (like Pioneer-333, etc.).

Pros All the best features at a great price.
Cons Slightly slower when accessing DVD menus.
Recommended it? Yes

I received this player recently as a gift. Though I have seen and used many DVD players, this one is the first I've actually owned.

Aesthetics:

As you can see from the picture, this player is not the plain black plastic and painted metal that many are used to. I personally love... Read full review »

I had been looking for a reasonable priced DVD player since around Christmas. I went to many stores, but because of the after Christmas sales all the players were sold out so I did a little research on DVD players and which ones were affordable, not too cheap. Just a price where you get... Read full review »

Great features, small nitpicks

Pros CD-R Support, nice aesthetics, good bang for the buck
Cons Bit of a learning curve, ugly menus
Recommended it? Yes

I bought a Sony DVP-S360, and thought I had fallen in love... until I found one glaring problem. Sony's DVD players don't read CD-R's in any form or fashion due to their current laser technology, and aren't using them in any DVD players until the release of the Playstation 2. Since I plan on making... Read full review »

JVC XV-523GD -- Full-Featured DVD Player Bargain with CD-R (Playback) Capability

byradioguy Mar 31, 2001
14 Helpfuls 15 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Complete set of audio and video outputs. Jog-shuttle on player. Plays CD-R's.
Cons Picture loses some detail in very dark areas of image.
Recommended it? Yes

The JVC XV-523GD plays CD-R's as well as DVD's and regular CD's. It also has a good array of outputs, including just about every output jack except for analog 5.1-channel (it doesn't have an internal digital surround-sound decoder, so it would have no use for these kinds of outputs).

Pros Great price for a terrific product, JVC=Quality
Cons Universal remote not so universal but who cares?
Recommended it? Yes

Wow! At last I'm in pace with technology at home. I have to admit it: I loved my VCR way too much to even consider having a DVD. I just considered "normal" to rent a video, use a cleaner for the heads, push 'Play', view the movie, and rewinding it to avoid $1 in extra fees. But after watching a... Read full review »

Pros Fairly inexpensive, plays CD-Rs, and you have to admit you like the color
Cons The picture quality is only a little above average
Recommended it? Yes

Recently I purchased the JVC XV-523GD DVD player and I have to admit I am mostly pleased. It took me a long time to buy a DVD player because I spent forever researching every player I came across. Finally I decided on the JVC XV-523GD DVD player because it's price was low enough, it seemed to have... Read full review »

A SOLID PERFORMER; A GOOD VALUE

9 Helpfuls 10 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Price, Value
Cons shift function
Recommended it? Yes

Well after a few months of extensive research, I had decided on the JVC XV-523GD. I had chosen it because it would play CD-Rs and CD-RWs and it would connect with my existing JVC components with AV-CompuLink so that all I have too do is insert a tape into the VCR or a CD or DVD into the DVD player...
