JVC XV-SA70BK DVD Player, Black
Buggy out of the box vs. Great Bang for the Buck
I'm keeping this simple.  This DVD player plays DVD audio and performs well once updated, includes progressive scan and MP3 playback.  It's a great DVD player and I would give it a 5 star review if it weren't for some major issues.  JVC needs to upgrade the firmware so it is compatible with all DVDs.  You will have to upgrade a subtitle problem with the Phantom Menace DVD and other DVDs.  The player gets really hot and is reported to lock up on people.  I think it might have to do with the heat, so keep it well ventilated.  I haven't experienced lockups yet. In other words, buy it, send it immediately back to JVC to have the firmware or the eprom replaced while it's covered under warranty (sorry, this can't be updated using CD-RW) and then you'll own a great DVD player for the money.
