Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Set yourself up to enjoy just about any current media format with JVC's versatile HR-XVC20U combination DVD player and VCR. With MP3/WMA and JPEG image CD playback and hi-fi VHS performance, the unit is built to satisfy all music and home-theater needs. The HR-XVC20U plays DVD and multiple CD formats.

It's easy to enjoy cutting-edge DVDs alongside an existing library of videocassettes. The unit even offers an RF output for use with older TVs that lack composite-video inputs. With S-VHS quasi playback, you'll be able to watch (in regular VHS resolution) tapes recorded in Super-VHS, normally only compatible with more expensive S-VHS machines.

A set of left/right analog-audio outputs channels audio to Dolby Pro Logic receivers and stereo televisions. Both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround-sound signals can be routed through the player's digital-audio outputs (one each of RCA coaxial and Toslink optical) for direct connection to a full-featured audio/video receiver. Supplied accessories include a composite-video/stereo analog-audio interconnect, instruction manual, and a multi-brand remote control that operates the combo player and most televisions.

1 out of 5 stars Buyer beware !.......2005-11-13

I bought THREE of these things over the last two years ... at least two of them from Amazon. 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. Anyway, thanks to JVC I have several hundred dollars worth of DVD players that don't play DVDs ... and considering the other reviews here suggest there 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.

5 out of 5 stars Don't listen to disgusted customers.......2004-11-13

Although some models of a certain product may have numerous defects, I'm happy to say that my JVC VCR/DVD combo has had no problems. I have recorded numerous times with the VCR section (with the picture still looking the same as the first day), I played all my DVDs (they haven't frozen), and have copied a DVD to a VHS. If you don't already have it, get it!! Please.

1 out of 5 stars Very disappointed - Not a good buy.......2004-10-13

After about six months, had the same problems as other buyers - DVD player freezes. Sometimes restarts, sometimes doesn't. Emailed their customer service, but only got a line that my warrenty was up. There must be some systemic problem with how JVC is putting these together - I can't believe they don't know this. In either case, I have given up on using it as a DVD player and I'm in the market for a new one. Of course, I will never again be purchasing anything JVC.

1 out of 5 stars I will never buy a JVC product again........2004-07-07

Is the worse buy in my life. The DVD does not work and to get a new one is cheaper than repair. JVC Colombia unable to fix it.

1 out of 5 stars In the shop.......2004-05-28

I would not buy this product again. After about 6 months (and perhaps 20 hours of use) the DVD player started freezing images or playing too slow. Took it to a local shop and had the DVD unit replaced as some expense to me (JVC agreed to pay about half and I had to pay the rest, about $60, as the warrenty had expired). Now a couple of months later the DVD player is starting to do the same thing again and I have to decide if I want to go through the repair thing again. Probably not. I am disgusted! The VHS unit has worked great and has seen a lot more hours of use.
