JVC XV-511BK DVD Player
Great picture.. poor layer switches
I have had this player for a year and a half now and must say that i have been very pleased with the basic performance of the unit.  The picture is more than acceptable, and the sound is above average for an entry-level  unit.  The problem with the unit is that it has a real problem with layer  switching.  Patton, Matrix, and Nightmare on elm street are three movies  that have all given me problems.  The service from JVC is also poor, and  many of the problems that i have had do not exist according to them.  The  only other problem i had is the remote, which has a joystick the the enter  key incorporated.. so pushing enter can be difficult and annoying.  All in  all.. it's a good entry unit.  But if you want a more consistant player  with better support, you can do better.
