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 of fun!! I don't think I'll use them much anymore, but they are good to show off to your buddies... :) Anyway, all went well for months and months... I had no problems whatsoever with this unit and it plays ALL kinds of dvd's... (either region free or 1). I would aggressively use the multiple trays and watch my favorites scenes from my discs in random order... no performance problems whatsoever! I've noticed a lot of griping here about the remote... I didn't really have any problems. I don't mind the shift button... I mean, how often are you going to be zooming in or changing the angle... furthermore, how many dvd's offer an angle option... (I can only think of a handful right now, and it's only in their special features...) Anyway, all went great and then I realized I wanted surround sound, being that I'd amassed quite a collection of dvd's; most with 5:1 capability. At the time I was a bit dvd/digitally illiterate and I noticed a strange little logo on the front; DTS. "Hmmm..." I wondered, and I began to research this. What I found out is that some dvd players have a DTS decoder in them and others (like this unit) just have DTS OUT capability. Therefore, to take advantage of this feature I would have to buy a receiver with a DTS decoder in it. No big deal, being that I was planning on this anyway and wasn't even sure what DTS was in the first place. I ended up getting an Aiwa receiver with a DTS decoder and, while hooking it up to the unit, I noticed it had a digital out jack. I went out and bought a digital Fiber-Optic Cable (Toslink-to-Toslink), hooked it up to my amp... left the S-Video cable hooked up directly to my tv and fired er' up! All I can say is WOW! This unit combined with my amp delivers KILLER sound.. in 5.1 or DTS... the DTS is audibly better! I've had this unit for almost a year and have had NO problems. Ok, on the downside, the wait when you put a dvd in is a bit long... I do wish it had CD-R capability since I do have a CD burner but I have stereos that play them... ironically, it DOES play the VCD format.. but I do not own any. Also, when switching from disk to disk, it takes a bit longer than is preferable... no biggie. It also seems that it's really taxing the hardware from the sound of it... but again, it hasn't broken yet. Another drawback is it's high price... especially since you don't get a lot of compatibility choices. There are lots of bells and whistles to choose from, but I doubt you'll find yourself using all of them; all of the time. I really don't have many negative things to say about it... my experience has been nothing but positive and it's given me many, many hours of entertainment! Thanks JVC!

In my opinion there are not many better DVD players on the market today, especially at this price. This DVD player offers features not found on other companies DVD players. I've owned 3 DVD players including this one. One from ProScan and one from Sony, and I have never been as pleased as I am with this purchase.

I have only used the component video outputs for my video signal, so I cannot comment on the S-Video, or the *other* connections (off topic but if you are buying a DVD player, you must have a TV that has AT LEAST S-Video connections, otherwise buy a VCR) but the video picture is awesome, much better than either of the two DVD players I owned before.

I also like that this is JUST a DVD player. It doesn't have the Dolby digital decoder, or the DTS decoder. I have all those options from my reciever which powers my surround sound, I don't need to spend another $100 dollars on a "Top of the line" DVD player. Not having the audio decoders is the only thing that seperates this DVD player from the "Top of the line" models. Anyone that owns one will tell you the same thing.

I have had this DVD player for almost a year (I got it as a gift last Christmas) and have had NO problems with it at all. It's quiet, plays DVD's, CD's, CDR's and CDRW's with no problem. It also plays VCD's but I haven't used that feature because I don't have any.

But overall it's a wonderful DVD player. And I'm not sure if it's my television or the DVD player but the sound quialty is unbelievable. I can hear every word and don't need subtitles at all. The remote is eacy to use, and the buttons are just the right size. Get this DVD Player, you will not be disappointed!!

When I initially purchased this item I was totally thrilled with it. I have had the product for a little under a year, and am still pleased with it but would like to point out an issue or two I have concerning the player. First off, for folks with large DVD collections (i.e. over 200) this is not the best choice. The more DVD's and regions I play, the more confused this player seems to get. It still plays all the DVD's I own but gives me quite a bit of attitude. Secondly: the remote control for this item is bad, at the least it is an ergo-nightmare. For half the functions, many of them quite important I might add, you need to hold down a 'shift' button while pressing the actual key you want to use. A toggle 'shift' would work much better. I realize the second gripe may seem petty but again this review is targeted for serious DVD collectors, when you are trying to look through special features or whatever---on numerous discs the 'shift' thing just takes the fun out of it...
