1.0 out of 5 stars WHAT AN AWFUL PIECE OF JUNK, April 17, 2008

I just came home with this dvd player. I decided to purchase a JVC HDMI dvd player cause i've been quite satisfied with an old JVC great Super Vhs player, and also with a 5.1 system. But in this case the only good thing i can say is that it is very easy to upgrade it via remote control to multiregion.

But all the rest can't be worse. Although the manual says that if you have an hdtv tv system you can upgrade the picture quality to 1080i, isn't true at all. I've conected the player to my philips hdtv via HDMI cable, and doesn't matter what resolution you choose, the picture is completely awful. And even with the lowest resultion, the blacks portions of the picture seem to bleed constantly taking your attention to all the flaws in the digital compression. Also suffers from constant pixelation, bad color tone and there's no picture controls at all to correct this. Believe me, this same afternoon i've planned to return this disaster, and change it for a real hdmi good player. Maybe Philips, or Panasonic work better.

JVC has built the DVD player I have been looking for. My old Toshiba's can't compare to this. It has all the features and connections you could ask for. The setup was easy and the menus allowed me to adjust the settings to fit my needs. I like the resume feature and the picture quality is outstanding. The DVD tray was sturdy unlike cheaper players and the remote works well. All in all great bang for the buck!

2.0 out of 5 stars Worked Great for a few months, December 26, 2008

This DVD player worked great for me on my 1080i samsung panel as long as it was connected with an HDMI cable. Component cables would not upconvert no matter what I tried. The picture seemed to be very good (Not comparable to my Blu-ray player, but wasn't expecting it to be). Unfortunately, i had the dvd player for about 5 months and then it started to take a long time to start playing dvd's and then it would eject the dvd's every time we turned it on, and then today... Dead. The only thing that works is when i unplug it and plug it back in the tray comes out but no display on the tv or dvd screen and no buttons work. To top it off, for about $100, I would have thought the player would come with a one year warranty, but no, only a 90 day warranty. Upsetting...
