1.0 out of 5 stars JVC has a horrible quality/reliability history with dual decks ..., October 18, 2008

This review is from: JVC HRXVC11B Progressive Scan DVD Player and VCR Combo (Electronics)

I recommend buyers look at the Amazon reviews for defunct JVC VHS/DVD
dual deck products before they purchase any current dual deck model.
They have a proven history of extremely poor build quality. JVC keeps
rapidly changing model numbers, which makes this more difficult for
the consumer to discover. However they all look very similar with
only slight cosmetic differences.

Search on these item numbers and see for yourself:

1.0 out of 5 stars Product page gives insufficient information, August 21, 2008

Amazon Verified Purchase

This review is from: JVC HRXVC11B Progressive Scan DVD Player and VCR Combo (Electronics)

I purchased this product because the information seemed complete and it seemed to fit my existing equipment. I also saw reviews of other items which were less than cheering. This one was unreviewed, and, thus, a mistake to purchase. When I received the unit, after trying and failing to follow the instructions, I called JVC "product service" who tell me, for the first time, that this model is not supported by a simple cable connection, but needs a box. Thankfully, Amazon sent approval for return of the unit. I would have given this zero stars, but that seems not allowed.

5.0 out of 5 stars DVD player/VHS review, June 25, 2009

By 

Philip Large - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: JVC HRXVC11B Progressive Scan DVD Player and VCR Combo (Electronics)

The machine is working perfectly so far. The only problem that I have had with it had to do with my not knowing hat tuner-free meant when I ordered it, consequently there is no place to screw the coax into the back. It plays DVD's and Tapes perfectly but that is all that it does. The clock, the timer and all the recording on the VCR does not work at all.This comes from being ignorant of all the changes in the machines.I guess that I will just have to keep bumbling through.
