JVC XV-N50BK Slim DVD Player Black

The stuttering has been fixed. I just bought one a few weeks ago. Also, concerning the blue light; if you keep pressing dim there are several levels of dimming including completely off. Note though that dimming the blue light on the drawer also dims everything else so you won't be able to see the LCD display. I haven't had the opportunity to see if there are some video problems in some scenes of movies as I've read elsewhere. I haven't noticed anything weird. It plays the VCDs and DVD+Rs and +RWs I've recorded in my PC. I bought two cheap players which were both DOA so got this one and it works great. Read more

My first DVD player, and a real pleasure. Silky operation, extremely easy setup (rational menus!!), and - especially - a very elegant user interface. Icons and status text are unobtrusive but clear, and don't get in the way of the movie experience. Having used a wide array of other DVD players, this is a huge relief - no alphabet-block, screen-filling GUIs! I'm using this player with a veteran 21" Toshiba set with no very sophisticated features, but the JVC seems prepped for the wide-screen set I'll someday get. Rock solid play - no skips and blips. Though I'm still exploring all its options, so far it's a genuine delight. Read more

I bought this player to replace an older Toshiba and an audiologic. I have tested this with 6 brands of DVD-R discs and one DVD+RW disc as well as various CDR's and it has worked without a hitch on everything. There are only two complaints that I have about this player so far that keeps it from a 5 stars in my eyes. First, it won't play mp3's that are put onto DVD's. I tried a $50 apex player and it did them fine. Second, when playing VCD's it says PBC in the display window and won't display the countdown timer like it does with DVD's. I really like to see how far I am into a movie. Aside from those two things it has been a great player and I only wish my TV would handle progressive scan. Oh, when they say slim, they mean slim. The thing is hardly taller than a VHS tape. Read more

This is my second DVD player and big jump over my first (which I purchased two years ago). It is smaller, loads much more quickly, and seems to produce a much better picture. I also love the 1.5x mode, which allows you to watch a movie on "fast time" and/or race through the slower parts. I am very happy with this and for the price it's hard to imagine a better deal.
