JVC XV-FA900 7-Disc DVD Player
returned and looking at another brand
I was at first attracted to the very impressive specs of this model along with its very attractive price.  After delivery the honeymoon ended there.  When playing Anamorphic DVDs formatted for 16X9 televisions like my Sony XBR 34\\" 16X9 with the progressive mode on; I noticed a twitch at the top of the screen continually at 15 second intervals.  This of course was quite annoying, very noticeable when the menu was up prior to playing the feature.  DVDs like Das Boot, Star Wars, Attack of the Clones, and Band of Brothers, and countless other 16X9 formatted DVDs all exhibited this same irritating anomaly.  It was then clear it was not the DVDs, but the player itself. I exchanged the unit for another one, same problem.  I then borrowed a Sony NS-715P progressive scan player from a friend and no problems at all.  I bought a JVC player in 1999, a 1028VBK and that was fraught with problems as well; so it is good-bye to JVC DVD players for me, I have had enough.  I am now looking at Sony or Denon.
