Buyer beware!,

This review is from: Jvc Hi-fi Vcr/DVD Combo (Electronics)
I bought THREE of these things over the last two years ... at least two of them from Amazon. (The actual model number was different -- XVC20U in black -- but it's basically the same combo deck they've been selling for several years now.)
They worked fine at first, but after a while, DVDs started freezing up on them. Oddly, I have absolutely NO trouble playing music CDs in the very same drives. DVD freezing has has happened on all of them, but it is worse on the unit I have used most. It seems to do it less when the machine or the DVD has cooled down. It gets worse over time. Lens cleaning with a disc-brusher, lens cleaning via taking off the case for direct contact cleaning, and air-pressured dusting -- all do no good. Anyway, thanks to JVC I have several hundred dollars worth of DVD players that don't play DVDs ... other reviews (under various model numbers) suggest there's not a chance JVC will make good on them. I have had, in the past, good luck with JVC TVs and car stereo units, and I try to stay loyal to brands, suppliers and what not. But I seriously doubt I will be making any other JVC purchases due to these things. I suppose JVC doesn't place much value on their brand or image or they wouldn't have dumped this stuff into the marketplace. It seems to be getting harder and harder to find companies that bother to make products that are actually worth what you pay for them. I suppose companies that rip-off customers and laugh their way to the bank must be part of the "new economy" I keep hearing about.

Lousy Machine,
By RW "Avid Reader" (Washington DC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Jvc Hi-fi Vcr/DVD Combo (Electronics)
I had the same problems as the first reviewer with my Jvc Hi-fi Vcr/DVD Combo. The DVDs started freezing up on the machine after just a few months use. I gave up and decided to buy a separate DVD player. I am still using the VCR to play videos but the recording and receiving quality is so bad it is just good for playback. Anything you attempt to record with the VCR is just second rate quality and using the time recording function is just to frustrating. Why bother --- the video quality is just not worth the hassel. I am current looking to replace the system with something better.
