JVC HR-XVC25U Progressive-Scan DVD/Hi-Fi VCR Combo
Limited in what DVD formats it will read
The product description here, as well as in other advertising, claims that the HR-XVC25U handles DVD+RW, DVD-RW, and DVD-R DVD formats. Before you buy, check with JVC. All they will claim is the DVD-Video format. This player DOES NOT handle DVD+RW, DVD-RW, DVD-R correctly. It will read them up to a certain point, and then it will lock up; probably the result of a data buffer overload or some such technical detail. I have had this player for almost a year, and have not had any other issues with it, but with at least 5 different DVD formats in common use out there, you really should buy a player that can handle all of them; give this one a miss. I've already written Amazon about the mistake in advertising, but they're not the only ones making these claims. Everyone except JVC.
