JVC XV 505

Advantages: Affordable, Reliable, easy to step up and use
Disadvantages: Region specific, non-recordable.

...The JVC XV-S302 is a pretty standard DVD player. It has all the basics with no thrills Without the thrills, makes this DVD simplistic and straight forward! simplistic interface, clearly identifiable operation buttons, its idiot proof! i had no trouble setting it up, i didnt need to consult the manual at all! It's a godsend to the technically challenged like myself! JVC are a name you can trust, don't buy any old name. JVC products have a good reputation and this player represents that statement. High quality at an affordable price Looks well enough that you dont have to try hide it behind cabinet doors either, its well placed to suit the 'good' rooms and the 'childrens' room. If all you want to do is to watch DVDs… BUY THIS DVD PLAYER the JVC XV-S302!!! And never think twice after!! Expect to pay no more than €100 AND BONUS... Read review

Advantages: Many features
Disadvantages: Colour look scheap and nasty

...The new JVC DVD Player is classed in the mid-range of DVD players in comparison to the current market. It has many features and is one of the cheapest players to have dolby digital surround sound software and extensions for great cinema sound. The only drawback i find with this player is the fact that it looks a little bit cheap and nasty in the black colour where as more upmarket DVD players are a sleek silver or gold colour. All in all, this player has many features and is very good value for a mid-range player.... 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 the system come alive. The subwoofer is a bit undersized. It performs well but could shake the walls a bit more. If you want a system that will provide great quality picture and sound for your money this player is it. If you want high quality sound and MP3 playback look elsewhere.... Read review
