JVC DRM10S DVD Recorder/Player
Buggy product  - but JVC extends the warranty
These units have a well documented \\"Loading Bug\\" problem.  Search videohelp.com or avsforum.com to verify.  After as little as a few days, the \\"Loading\\" message flashes on screen intermittently, each time wiping the disk clean.  The frequency increases until the unit is unusable.    My Loading Bug started at 8 weeks.  It was repaired under warranty, but the bug is back at 13 weeks, just past the 90 day warranty period and the JVC service facility's 30 day repair guarantee.  It takes 1.5 hours of labor at $90 per hour to fix the Loading Bug.  JVC told me, however, they would re-fix the unit as a \\"courtesy.\\"      Incidentally, JVC offers extended warranties for its products on its website.  I tried to purchase an extended warranty for the DR-M10S, but JVC doesn't even offer one for this model.    UPDATE 02/16/05:  JVC now offers to fix this model free of charge, apparently even after the warranty expiration.  See the FAQ page on JVC's website.
