JVC XV-523GD DVD Player
DO NOT BUY A JVC DVD PLAYER
I purchased both a JVC DVD player as well as a JVC receiver (both with dts) back in March 2000.  Both products worked well for the first month but the DVD player has been a nightmare ever since.  Within 4 months the player was displaying &quot;no disk&quot; despite having a DVD in the player.  We tried to call JVC to troubleshoot this but there is no contact number (just a recording were you can find out a service center).  When we took the player in, we were told that while it was under warranty, that didn't cover parts, which ran over $100.  They also gave us a typewritten page of troubleshooting items, showing that this product had bugs.  In addition to locking up on almost every disk within a month of having the item back, it is now showing &quot;no disk&quot; again.  Needless to say, the troubleshooting guide isn't working.  You cannot reach JVC to go over problems, they don't repair the item right and it is without question the worst electronic product I have ever owned.  I think their (lack of) customer service would make an excellent case study for an MBA class.
