JVC XV-N650 Player

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: Ease of use, Remote control, Quality design

Cons: Instruction manual in English only

The Bottom Line: A lot of features, great quality, solid performance and that warm fuzzy feeling that your money was not wasted.

Review: The model of this player is XV-S40BK

Pros: It's thin, and it does work generally

Cons: Skips. Poor front panel display. Not great aesthetic

The Bottom Line: I don't recommend it because of the skipping problems I had. The other problems I could live with.

Review: I don't know how it will be from unit to unit, but I just bought one of these, and I'm not impressed. I don't have an HDMI input on my TV, so I'm using component. The biggest problem I'm having is it skips. CDs and DVDs alike. I tried a DVD I had burned ...
