1.0 out of 5 stars JVC has a horrible quality/reliability history with dual decks ..., March 8, 2009

By 

Tony Polito "TonyPolito" (Greenville, North Carolina) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: JVC HRXVC12S Progressive Scan DVD/VCR Combo Player (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:
