1 out of 5 stars Looks like I'm not alone.......2004-10-12

I signed on to complain about the skipping and visual garbage I've been experiencing. It got especially bad just now trying to watch my new Star Wars DVDs. I wish I'd read these reviews before wasting my money (much more than it's selling for now) on this player.

1 out of 5 stars Same problem as the Dec 24 2003 reviewer.......2004-01-01

Will not turn on out of STANDBY mode. The unit is about 15 months old. If anybody has figured out a cost-effective way to solve this, please post

2 out of 5 stars LASTED A MONTH PAST WARRANTY.......2003-12-24

After reviewing and deciding to buy this unit, I was satisfied with the performance until 13 months after buying....wont turn on out of standby. The problem is, it is cheaper to buy a replacement than get fixed based on labor and parts. However, my next unit will not be a JVC as the timing at one month out of warranty is not a good sign.

5 out of 5 stars A Great machine.......2003-08-28

I checked all the ratings on this DVD player. They were all good,
except for maybe 1. This is my first DVD Player and I've had no problems with it. So far I have had it for 6 months.
I'm glad I bought this model. Also very easy to hook up.

1 out of 5 stars disappointing.......2003-08-17

Nice small design, but with problems. Like some of the reviewers. when it gets into about one hour of play, it starts skipping and superimposing. Now I have to have it serviced. I thought it was the dvds, but its not
