JVC XVM5GSL DVD Player
Very good player
The movies look great (but I don't have many players to compare with).<br />+ Plays name brand and generic DVD +/-R media.  Haven't tried +/-RW.<BR>+ Plays the jpegs on CD-Rs as a slideshow.<BR>+ Loads a 4 megapixel (approx 1.8MB) jpeg image in about 14s which seems to go by relatively quickly because the image is being displayed top to bottom while loading.  The manual recommends a max of &quot;2400 pixels&quot; (2.4mp?).<BR>+ Can play MP3 and WMA files.<br />- The LED next to the current tray that's being used flashes during the entire playback of the movie. Very irritating.  Flashing is used to quickly grab attention, not as a lengthy indicator.<BR>- The trays feel flimsy.  I would've preferred the 5 disc carousel used by the Sony 665.<BR>- The numbering of the disc trays start at 5 at the top to 1 at the bottom.  Wouldn't it be more obvious to put 1 at the top and 5 at the bottom?<br />This a very good player but the feature that makes it really stand out for me is the jpeg viewer.
