JVC XVN40BK DVD Player with Digital Direct Progressive Scan
Great stylish DVD player
Don't know where all the good reviews went. I read a whole bunch that sold me on this machine .... convinced me this was the machine for me and I haven't been disappointed. It is very compatible, reading my DVD-R, DVD-RW, VCD, and CD formats. It also apparently reads a lot more. Stylish, functional, very fast initial read of disc, excellent zoom, with a hand fitting functional remote. I compared it to comparable Pioneer and Panasonic models before I bought. (Let's face it though, most of the latest DVD players are excellent compared to even models just 2 years old.) This player actually is cool to the touch when running (compare this to some of the heat related malfunctions mentioned for other players)! I hope this tides me over until the DVD recordables are in the same price range!<BR>Update: Read the December 2003 issue of the consumer magazine (you know which one) for a comparison of DVD players. This one received the top rating!
