Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Set yourself up to enjoy just about any current media format with JVC's versatile HR-XVC25U combination DVD player and VCR. With MP3/WMA and JPEG image CD playback and hi-fi VHS performance, the unit is built to satisfy your music and home-theater needs. The HR-XVC25U plays not only DVD and multiple CD formats, but DVD+RW, DVD-RW, DVD-R, CD-R, CD-RW, VCD, and SVCD as well.

For the DVD player, top-of-the-line component-video outputs help minimize digital and line-scan artifacts on compatible advanced televisions, while composite- and S-video outputs bring compatibility with nearly any television. Now you can also 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. Advanced programming can be set for one months and eight events, and Commercial Skip search quickly skims over 30-second increments during playback to put your program back in front of you more quickly.

19 micron heads deliver the clearest possible picture when recording or viewing in EP (extended-play) mode. Auto Repeat (VHS: unlimited) and repeat playback (DVD: A-B) makes this unit a perfect choice for trade shows and conventions. Other VCR features include child lock (prevents unintended viewings), index search, skip search, auto clock setting, auto timer setting, and auto tracking.

Two sets of left/right analog-audio outputs (one for each component) channel 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.

What's in the Box
DVD/VCR combo unit, a composite-video/stereo analog-audio interconnect, instruction manual, batteries, warranty info, and a multi-brand, full-function remote control that operates the combo player and most televisions.

Product Description:
The HR-XVC25 DVD/VCR combo incorporates features that consumers expect in JVC products such as SQPB, which allows the VCR section to playback SVHS recordings. The DVD section is full featured allowing playback of DVD, CD-A, DVD+-RW, MP3, WMA, and JPEG images on a CD-R.

Customer Reviews:

1 out of 5 stars Limited in what DVD formats it will read.......2005-06-27

The product description here, as well as in other advertising, claims that the HR-XVC25U handles DVD+RW, DVD-RW, and DVD-R DVD formats. Before you buy, check with JVC. All they will claim is the DVD-Video format. This player DOES NOT handle DVD+RW, DVD-RW, DVD-R correctly. It will read them up to a certain point, and then it will lock up; probably the result of a data buffer overload or some such technical detail. I have had this player for almost a year, and have not had any other issues with it, but with at least 5 different DVD formats in common use out there, you really should buy a player that can handle all of them; give this one a miss. I've already written Amazon about the mistake in advertising, but they're not the only ones making these claims. Everyone except JVC.

4 out of 5 stars Excellent Combo.......2005-04-07

We bought this unit refurbished over a year ago. We use it almost daily and never have had any problems. In fact this product has performed excellent. I have read many negative reviews about this unit - so I thought I'd just try and balance it out a little. The only gripe we have is that the remote control is insane. The thing is huge and it has buttons all over it. It wasn't thought out very well, very confusing. Other than that it has been a great product.

4 out of 5 stars Very nice and good customer service.......2004-11-23

The one I currently have is actually the second DVD/VCR combo... the first one arrived damaged in the mail. However, the return policy worked out great and I very quickly received a new one that has worked great over the past year. It does everything I could hope for (except for multi-national playing) and is extremely good. Also, fairly quiet and adaptable. Very much enjoying it.

1 out of 5 stars Seemed like a good idea at the time.......2004-10-14

I bought this unit really cheap on closeout at an unnamed local chain (that also sells pretty good tools). Then we moved our Sony combo upstairs. I loved the remote but then noticed these faint, flashing diagonal lines (that started to drive me crazy) and it would not play tapes from the Sony combo that it replaced well even using manual tracking. I tried different connections and settings to no avail. The eject mechanisms sounded clunky and after reading the reviews it got on my nerves.

Well I took it back after 2 weeks to the local store and for just a few dollars more got a Sony combo on sale. Even though it has the teeny-weeny buttons the picture and sound rock. Thank You!!!

2 out of 5 stars Product lasts only 1 year or less.......2004-09-28

We loved this unit until two weeks ago (after 11 months of use) when it suddenly died. Ok, it maybe cuz my two year old did something to it, but we are not sure. Even if he did shove something in the VCR slot (which is possible) - the DVD player should still work, and it won't! The power mechanism flickers on and off and seems to try to initialize the VCR and then poof - the whole unit dies. over and over. No need to try to fix such an inexpensive product.
