Customer Reviews:

1 out of 5 stars Worse home electronic device I've ever owned.......2006-03-28

This unit is horrible! It takes forever to eject a DVD when commanded, it's excessively slow to switch to another chapter when you command skip between chapters, it won't read home-burned double -layer DVDs (!@#$!), etc. I would steer clear of this unit. I'm so incensed at how bad this product is that I won't EVER buy another JVC product of any sort.

1 out of 5 stars Buyer beware!.......2005-11-18

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. Now they've added progressive scan and DVD burner, other than that it looks like the exact same thing that I bought.)

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 happens on ALL THREE 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.

1 out of 5 stars Barely outlived the warranty.......2005-10-07

The on screen instructions for recording television didn't match the actual method required. The DVD/VCR switch no longer functions. Now the program I recorded can't be watched because I can't switch it to VCR, nor can I eject the tape. The warranty expired 2-months ago.

1 out of 5 stars JVc, the J must stand for Junk.......2005-05-23

Not only was this defective from Day 1, JVC Customer service did not answer the phone for many days. Their customer service center wanted $75 for a diagnostic. Keep in mind that the cost of the item was $99. The original tape in the machine does not eject. I will never buy any JVC product again. Bad product, bad service.

1 out of 5 stars 1yr and 1/2 and it died.......2005-02-11
