JVC XV-S500 Progressive-Scan DVD Player
Excellent Design, Lots of Functions BUT...
Got this at Circuit City. I hooked it up to my digital receiver and the sound was crystal clear. Good picture quality and they are lots of functions for this unit - DVD, MPEG, JPEG (never tried JPEG though). Thus, a progressive scan for this price, I think it is unbeatable. The design was slim and simple. <br />Only problem was it would not read any DVD after my 3rd DVD, I think mine was either faulty or there is something that was wrong with it's optical head. I was not able to skip over that part also. Bummer. I thought it was the DVD from Hollywood but after getting another one, it gave me the same problem. The DVD did not have any scratches at all.<br />Oh well, it's back for a exchange, I think the panasonic model which plays WMI (Windows Media Format) is something worth looking into though the design it a bit less refined.<br />Buyers beware...
