JVC DRMV1S Progressive-Scan DVD Player/Recorder and VCR Combo , Silver
Stay Clear Of This Unit
I received my DR-MV1S for Christmas.  For starters it did not have the RF Cables or the Splitter.  I recorded 3 DVDs from my DV Camera and it seemed to work OK.  Last night I tried to dub a VHS video onto DVD.  Like others, I could not get the machine initially to accept the tape.  After powering on and off and manually fudging it, I was able to get the tape to work and dub on to DVD.  However when I attempted to dub my next VHS, the unit kept powering off all by itself after flashing \\"Please Wait\\" on the TV screen.  I again unplugged the unit, waited 15 seconds, and plugged it back in.  Now the unit won't even play a VHS in VCR mode.  The tape will load (occasionally still getting stuck), and indicate it is indeed playing but it never in fact does.  It does play DVDs.  One other note, my experience is that when I play recent movie titles on DVD in Progressive mode, the picture is actually worse than normal.  I have component video cables and I know everything is hooked up correctly.  Bottom line, a lot of nice features but quality is sorely lacking.  I am dumping this for another brand/model as I don't want to wait around for the incessant \\"Loading\\" error that seems to plague these units from reading prior reviews.
