Advantages: Bargain basement price, reliable all round performance, mpg support
Disadvantages: Only supports region 2, outdated model

Being a bit of an X-Files nut I bought this DVD player two years ago so that I could get the series boxsets that were coming out on DVD. I had been put off buying a DVD player for a while as I wasn't prepared to pay the prices that the top of the range models were going for but I saw this model on the high street for £70 and I decided to take a chance on it. Obviously two years is a long time in the technology world and this model wasn't that new ...
...the range picture quality and sound with all the bells and whistles of a new player then this isn't for you. However if you are on a budget and want a player with decent sound and picture quality then I would recommend this model. It also has a compact design which makes it a good choice if space is at a premium in your living room Over the last two years my DVD collection has expanded and my player has seen some heavy use. In this time it has proved ... Read review

Advantages: Can play burnt dvds (floating laser system), very slim, quite reliable
Disadvantages: has a tendency to stop playing smoothly halfway through a dvd sometimes

...it about 2 years ago! JVC is a well known brand with a good reputation and it is covered under a warranty! The price was the biggest factor when i was looing for a dvd player - no doubt the price has dropped since my purchase but even then it was one of the cheaper models The only problem i have experienced with it is a strange freezing halfway through movies sometimes though not that often it can be quite annoying - perhaps the disks get scratched ...
...mention...it looks quite nice too! Not ugly at all. All cables and installation notes and a 12 month warranty (in australia at least - not sure internationally!) are included. JVC has a good reputation for customer service though i have not myself needed it which is a good sign! ... Read review

Advantages: All-in-one, Popular make. Good price
Disadvantages: confusing remote control!

I purchased my unit from Sky.buy for £110 so i was already happy with the all-in-one combi before i even took it out of the box. It is a standard 'Region-2' dvd player althgouh, after much searching, i managed to find a disk which unlocks it to 'Multi-region' and is RCE compatible. In general this is a superb machine, the picture quality is above-par, the design is fantastic and there are more than enough choices for connecting htis unit to your ...
...I must confess that it took me over half an hour to tune the VCD into the TV (maybe i'm now too old for new technology!) but once it was set it did the job. The remote control is cumbersome and i tend not to avoid using it. You can re-program the remote to work on your tv so avoiding loads of controllers on the arm of the sofa! Copying DVD-to-Vidoe is very straightforward although this will only let you copy 'un-copyrighted' material. If it is your ... Read review

Advantages: Sound quality is awesome! Spacious and stylish design.
Disadvantages: Doesn't play MP3s.

I own my very own JVC XV-E100 and love it. The sound quality and design is awesome. Picture quality of the DVD is also great. Tip: Sound does sound best above a hardwood floor. The only draw back is that the player doesn't play MP3s. If I would have to buy another DVD player, it would have to play MP3s. Sound sound is very theatrical and realistic. The best DVD I seen yet playing on this system is XXX. The soundtrack and fast paced action make s ... Read review
