This product is exactly what I was looking for. A Blu-Ray Player that also can play All-region DVD's. The sound and video quality are excellent. I haven't yet tried all the extra available features, I bought this mainly for watching Blu-Ray DVD'S as well as my international DVD's. The lights on front of the unit are bright though. To me, it's well worth it to pay the extra amount for this version of this JVC product plus remember it includes the free HDMI cable which is approximately a $40.00 value in itself. I got mine from All Region World (Amazon seller). Be careful, other sellers may be advertising this product as an all-region player but are selling the North American version instead, see the other reviews. I am very pleased with my purchase from All Region World. Although mine arrived without the HDMI cable as advertised, All Region World was quick to send me one after I contacted them about it.
If you do not need an all-region player than the slightly lower costing product of the same JVC model is probably going to be ideal for you. I don't understand why JVC didn't market the two different versions with separate model numbers, very strange in this regard.

i just got this JVC XV BP1. it works international region DVD. also when i connected usb to my portable hard drive, i can watch
my backup movie. it tried to play (non-hd divx or xvid format .avi) HD MOVIE (.MKV .MP4) .MPG .MP3 .WMA DVD(CODE1,6,3,and ALL)
JPEG PHOTOS and bd. worksperfect. easy to use, nice picture and great sound. this unit DO NOT SUPPORT new format's divx xvid and rmvb.

recommend to buy.

Before deciding to buy the JVC XVBP1 I read alot of reviews and specs on several players on the market. We needed a multiregion DVD player for all our French DVDs (my wife is French) so that eliminated quite a few players. We also didn't have a huge budget, like say for the Oppo BDP83. I would have loved to find a way to compare the performance of several different players but no store carried all the ones I wanted to see so I had to settle for reading reviews.

I finally chose the XV BP1 for the following reasons:
1) Experience. Our previous DVD player was a JVC and it had a great picture and lasted--it still works fine;
2) BD live. It is BD live capable it's newer counterparts the BP10 and BP11 aren't (I have no idea why);
3) Multi region. While it won't play other region blu ray disks it does play all our existing international DVDs;
4) PRICE! While there are a number of sub $200 players out there, there aren't that many that are region free for under $200.

The result: We love it. It even makes our regular DVDs look and sound great! Firmware updates have to be done via USB key, but it's not a big deal and went very smoothly. Take the time to go through the set up and choose the right settings for your TV. Before I did the set up, the first video we watched I compared with my other player as we had the video in both blu ray and regular DVD, I didn't see that great of a difference, but once I chose the the 1080p setting to match our TV the picture was markedly better. It loads blu ray disks in a decent amount of time. It doesn't stream Netflix or Amazon movies as some others do but we have a computer hooked up to our TV for that so we don't miss it.

I can't say if it is better or worse than all the other players on the market since I couldn't do a side by side comparison but it is doing a good job for us. We're very pleased with this purchase.

I just got this for Christmas and I can't tell you how pleased I am. I literally took it out of the box, plugged it into my 6 year old, not HDMI compatible TV and it worked perfectly immediately without any problems at all. I tried some blurays and they looked incredible, even on my old TV.

And yes, it is all regions! Just make sure you get it from All Region World. I lived in Australia for a few years and have quite a collection of Australian and American DVDS and they all work perfectly.

I am literally shocked. I have never had an electronic that worked amazingly well right out of the box with no problems whatsoever. And the price is amazing! I can't believe it can do all it does for under $300. I won't need to buy a new media player for many many years.

Get it. It does everything!

Two problems with this player: did not play region 2 dvds and JVC did not repair it correctly.
The player initially did handle DVDs from multiple regions, but stopped playing Region 2 within the one-year warranty. I mailed to JVC, which charged me $85 for labor (only covered for first 3 months), but it still didn't work with Region 2 when returned to me.
Waste of money.

This may or may not be a good Blu Ray player, but I bought it for both its Blu Ray and "all region" playback capability.

Contrary to the listed specifications, it is a "region 1 only" player and I've had to return it for a refund.

Amazon needs to change the listed specifications.

Worked right out of the box. No problems. Good picture. Would recommend. Slightly bright display though!
