Pros: Very Good Picture Cons: Bulky Size
Problems reading some discs
I bought this player from Best Buy as an open box item. I was somehow able to coax the salesman to include in it remote and component cable from a brand new progressive scan JVC unit. I took it home, and the first movie I saw on it was "Fargo". I really...
I purchased this player, and after just one month of average use, the problems began. The biggest problem is lockup. You will be watching a DVD, going along fine, then WHAM--the pictures freezes. After that, the only cure is to unplug the unit and...
Pros: Hooks up with other JVC components Compu-Link. Compatible with VCD. Cons: Does not work on certain DVDs!
I purchased the XV-501BK as our first DVD player to match the other JVC components (Dolby A/V receiver, TV, CD player) in my A/V system. JVC components can share a JVC-proprietary Compulink(TM)connection that integrates the components together. For...
This was my first DVD player and I have always been a fan of JVC equipment.
This particular machine took my fancy and was on sale, 450 down to 250 so I snapped it up and started enjoying DVD's.
I know others don't really like this DVD Player, but I do. Most say that they have had trouble with it not playing alot of the DVD's out now, but this is a glitch in the system that JVC "accidentally" messed up, it is very simple to fix, just e-mail me...
I bought this unit as a referb in December 1999. It was purchased from a company in CA on an auction web site. It came w/ the standard warranty (90 labor/1 year parts). For the first few months it worked fine, but then it began having trouble playing...
Pros: good list of features Cons: poor picture quality, unreliable operation, poor customer service from jvc
Initially I bought this unit for the feature-full package and under the high recommendation of the sales person, the zoom feature, DTS, picture sharpness feature and the jvc name. Once at home the set up was easy and we began watching our first movie,...
Pros: Easy to use, I suppose if it worked! Cons: Freezing up, sound distortion, BAD quality
Well, to start off, we bought a JVC DVD because we are loyal JVC owners. We have a complete JVC stereo system and two JVC vcr's. The main we reason we bought JVC was the compulink feature. WRONG WRONG WRONG!!
Pros: Zoom, many other features Cons: Locks up, will not read certain DVDs
We have had our XV-501BK since 11/97. We bought it because we absolutely love our JVC S-VHS HR3600U player, and we hoped this DVD player would perform just as well as our S-VHS! Unfortunately, that was not the case.
Pros: Easy to set up Cons: Computer glitch in system
I purchased the DVD player for a Christmas present (1999). In June, 2000, the DVD player stopped playing all DVD's correctly. It would play some DVD's and all CD's. All this due to playing certain DVDs. When calling JVC I was told this was due to a...
Pros: Great picture,Great sound,easy to use Cons: Remote is a little tricky with the center button
I have had this product for over a year now and have not had any of the problems that have been told about in the other entries. I own over 100 DVD's and have NEVER had one lock up or not play. I rent DVD's from the local video stores and also have NEVER...
Pros: excellent features, beautiful picture and sound Cons: no dolby decoder [the 701 includes this]
i bought the jvc 501 quite some time ago, when it was first released, and i have to say, i've been extremely pleased with it. at it's release, this player was loaded with more features than most available, including exceptional audio and video output....
Pros: Digital zoom Cons: Breaks often, runs hot, funky remote
I used to sell televisions and other consumer electronics, and until my experience with this DVD player, I had a generally good opinion about JVC products. All that has changed.
The good:
Picture and sound quality are excellent. One of...
Pros: Great user interface Cons: Only works a short while
This thing had the greatest user interface, and I loved it... until it died about five months after the warranty expired. Perhaps I should have bought the extended warranty, but usually JVC makes a good product and I didn't think it would be necessary....
Pros: priced reasonably, provides all needed functionality Cons: remote is less useful than it could be
When I graduated from college, my parents got me a DVD player; This was it. It's been over a year, and I now own about 60 DVDs. I've also borrowed and rented a few more. I've not experienced the documented lockup problem, perhaps because my EEPROM is...
