JVC XVS60BK Progressive Scan DVD/CD/MP3 Player,Black
Great Player, remote is confusing
No problem setting up the DVD player, and it does a great job. We got it a couple of weeks before Christmas '01 and have played it almost every day. Flawless performance, nice features. We chose black to match our other components. The picture made our 9 year old 31\\" TV look terrific! We have a DISH satellite connection and this blows the doors off of that. VHS now looks cheesy. I don't know if that is the DVD or the player, but we're very satisfied with the performance.<br />There are several cable options for connecting to the TV. Everything was very simple. The display dims after about 5 minutes to act as a kind of screen saver. We've played CD, CD-R and DVDs in it. The only odd thing is that the red display light is \\"ON\\" when the unit is off. It goes out when you turn it on.<br />This was our first DVD, and we opted for the progressive scan so we can use it with the wide screen coming next Christmas ;-) Given the performance we have now I can't wait to see what it looks like on that.<br />I agree that the remote could use some work. I don't like having to use a switch to control the volume then switch back to make DVD selections. Most of the buttons aren't used, and they should have put the numbers at the bottom, not top. The various controls for FF, REV, pause/play need to be changed to be more in line with other remotes. Don't let that stop you from buying it, though. it just takes a little getting used to. (Why can't all of these manufacturers have ONE frequency and agree on a standard so I don't have to have a basket of remote controls in the room!) But it can't be too bad since my 6 year old was able to figure it out without any help from me.<br />---------------5 Months later and we're still very satisified. I've even learned how to use the remote, although still no kind words for it. The unit hasn't even hiccuped since we got it. It does a very good job. I'd buy it again in a heartbeat.
