JVC XV-N650B

Pros: Quality DVD player at a low price!

Cons: None for a entry level player.

The Bottom Line: Great budget DVD player!

Review: The JVC XV-S30BK DVD player is a no frills basic DVD player with remote control. I purchased this unit for $139, and am very satisfied with its performance. It reads dvd video, and audio cds...you will need a different model for MP3 discs. The unit has...

Pros: Slim and nice-looking machine. Excellent operation (at first). Full-service remote.

Cons: Disk tray seems very fragile. Firm-ware problem (causes) (may cause) malfunction

The Bottom Line: I would be very wary of this product as there may be a firmware defect that causes it to malfunction when searching for disk "chapters."

Pros: Good sound quality.

Cons: Skips most of the time.

Pros: Low price and nice looks

Cons: Skips Played the same DVD's immediately on my other model DVD fine.

Review: I purchased this player as a bargain and I got what I paid for as it consistantly skips at 59 seconds on the movie play time clock.  It jumps ahead to 4:00 then again at 4:30, jumping ahead to 7:20.  There are other skips later in the movie ...
