JVC XVN50BK Slim DVD Player
6 months and still loving it.
Was surprised to see the negatives regarding stutter on this machine.  I have about 500 DVD's in my collection, including some VCD's, and DVD's I have burned myself and have not notices any instances of stutter.  Am also curious regarding the remark that it stutters when it pans, since the DVD player is just decoding data...and not &quot;panning&quot; anything.<br />The positives regarding this machine are numerous.  It will play disks that will not play on my computer.  It's error correction is excellent. The main reason I bought this machine was so that I could play VCD's, CD-R, and DVD+R disks. And it doesn't disappoint.  The remote is set up well.  There was a previous negative comment that the buttons were too far apart.  Personally, I view this as a positive because you can actually use it in the dark because the are far enough apart that you can actually press the right button (one you figure out the pattern that is).  The only negative I can see is that the DVD carrying tray itself seems quite flimsy.  I can see a pair of little hands snapping it off in a heartbeat! Those of you with small children beware!
