JVC XVS40BK Slim Design DVD/CD Player, Black
Nice unit, but mine broke after less than a year
I really liked this unit when I purchased it.  Especially with all of the different formats that it will read.  However, in the last month or so, the unit has begun to freeze at random points on almost any DVD I use.  The only way to &quot;un-freeze&quot; it is to literally unplug the unit.  This usually occurs 30 minutes to an hour into the DVD.  I originally though it may have to do with the heat generated by the unit and the rest of the A/V equipment, but even after I moved it out of the cabinet and into a well ventilated area, it still freezes.  The unit did not seem warm to the touch either.  I used to be a diehard JVC fan, but after this issue and issues I had with my JVC A/V receiver, I have switched to Onkyo and Sony.  Good luck!
