JVC XV-S300 DVD Player
nice player, but problem with closed-captions
I picked up this player about a week ago to replace my 4-year-old RCA player which is starting to glitch on me.  Overall, this is a very nice player with a decent remote control.  The error-correction was very good, as it played some of my glitchy DVDs flawlessly.  One cool feature with the on-screen display was showing the the data bit-rate at which the DVDs were encoded.<br />Unfortunately, one major flaw I found with the player was that it wouldn't pass through closed-caption signals to my TV.  I'm not sure if this was a problem with just my player, but I think it may be a design flaw with all JVC players because I read about the same problem with some older JVC players from over a year ago.<br />I had to return my player, as I couldn't figure out how to make the closed-captions work properly.  My new Panasonic passes through CC properly with no hitches, but it doesn't play my glitchy DVDs as smoothly as this JVC does.<br />If closed-captions are not a critical criteria for you, this JVC might fit your needs perfectly.  If you are hard of hearing and absolutely need CC, skip this player.
