JVC XVN50BK Slim DVD Player
Great little player
I bought this player to replace an older Toshiba and an audiologic.  I have tested this with 6 brands of DVD-R discs and one DVD+RW disc as well as various CDR's and it has worked without a hitch on everything.  There are only two complaints that I have about this player so far that keeps it from a 5 stars in my eyes.  First, it won't play mp3's that are put onto DVD's.  I tried a $50 apex player and it did them fine.  Second, when playing VCD's it says PBC in the display window and won't display the countdown timer like it does with DVD's.  I really like to see how far I am into a movie.  Aside from those two things it has been a great player and I only wish my TV would handle progressive scan.  Oh, when they say slim, they mean slim.  The thing is hardly taller than a VHS tape.
