JVC XV-M555BK 3-Disc DVD Player
Good buy, but lacking on the CD-Audio side
This player has a lot of neat features, especially the fact that it is a 3  disk system, just worth the price. Some of its best features are: *The  remote is easy to use *The sound quality is great *The S-Video and RGB  connections on the same unit *The Digest/Zoom are fun.<br />The fallbacks are:  It is very noisy in changing disk (other reviews are not kidding), Most  movies playback with the image brightness dimming slightly and then  brighting every 2 seconds, The inconsistancy of Menu/Title is annoying (but  this is the falut of the movie makers not the player), The CD-Audio support  is missing the ability to program/repeat without using the remote and  having the tv on, other CD-Audio &quot;features&quot; require the tv on to  know what is going on (this is annoying), the unit gets very (very very)  hot during playback, and (not finally but...) I hate having to be forced to  view the copywrite information and some &quot;preview ads&quot; without the  ability to scan passed it like on VHS - this may be a fault of the movie  makers though - but it would be nice if this player allowed that. Final  comment: you need an electronics degree to read the manual on how to get  the best sounds with your stereo system - and I AM a technical person  already!
