JVC RX-DV3VSL DVD/Receiver Combo , Silver
Great compact little unit, good value
Won't blow your windows out but for the price it's a very competent package.  I replaced a Technics home theatre receiver and my old DVD player with this to upgrade to a DTS capable system and I haven't looked back.  Excellent full-featured DVD player (slo-mo, zoom, progressive scan), and a good number of inputs for other devices including s-video and optical audio inputs which are handy if you have a latest generation game system for instance.<BR>Sound is crisp and good considering what you pay for this little beauty and I haven't had it complain yet about driving the 12&quot; woofers in my main speakers.<BR>Front panel gives great quick access to sound level and balance/fade adjustments.<BR>DVD video quality is good through the s-video output.<BR>A few down sides: front panel buttons have a very &quot;cheap&quot; feel, though I haven't had any problems yet, and the remote is an ergonomic nightmare.  I've had the unit for 4 months at least now but I still have to stare at the remote whenever I'm watching a DVD and the volume controls are in my opinion undersized.<BR>Also, like most JVC players it seems, the player is slow to react to control inputs, ex: Play (when stopped), and chapter skip, and slow switching titles (for instance when accessing bonus features or when switching to the menu after the feature is over).<BR>All told though I'm really happy with the unit's video and sound quality and convenience and and you can't beat the price.
