Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
JVC's XV-S300BK is a slim-design, "all-in-one" media player that not only spin commercial DVD-Videos and CDs, but homemade CD-R/CD-RW discs and MP3 CD as well. The XV-S300BK's component-video output is ideal for use with the latest high-resolution televisions (and a standard composite-video output works with most older TVs). The unit is also compatible with the SVCD (super video CD) and VCD formats, which are popular for many Asian films.

Most DVD players are great CD players, too, and the XV-S300BK is better than most in this respect. What makes this player special is JVC's proprietary 1-bit P.E.M. D.D. audio decoder, which minimizes clock jitter and other sonically degrading artifacts and offers an analog stage with an impressive 106 dB dynamic range (in stereo) so your music sounds as true to life as possible.

The decoder's 96 kHz/24-bit resolution ensures optimum decoding of all disc formats, including high-resolution music on DVD-Video discs. 3-D Phonic virtual surround simulates surround-sound effects using only 2 speakers, so you'll still be able to appreciate a sense of surround sound even if you don't have a surround receiver or 6-channel speaker set-up.

The XV-S300BK's traditional audio connections include 1 set of left/right analog-audio outputs for compatibility with stereo Dolby Pro Logic receivers and stereo televisions and 1 coaxial digital-audio output to route Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel signals to a surround-decoding audio/video receiver.

The back panel offers 1 output each for standard composite-video, S-video, and top-of-the-line component-video. A full-function remote control is supplied.

What's in the Box
DVD player, remote control, remote batteries, a stereo analog audio/composite-video cable, a user's manual, and warranty information.

1 out of 5 stars Stopped Working After One Year.......2004-12-17

A few months ago I started having problems turning it on, opening the DVD etc... and suddenly it would work. But now, it just doesn't work. It is like the electric current isn't reaching where it needs to go to make it work. It is on standby mode, but won't turn on, open or play. I have a rented DVD stuck in there and I think I have to break it open to get it out! I'm definitly going to smash this with a hammer!

1 out of 5 stars A great..........2004-05-24

big piece of crap. Also a wonderful paperweight. Get another brand unless you like to spend money on things that work half the time and then break completely 9 months after you buy them.

4 out of 5 stars Affordable and Decent.......2003-04-11

This is a good DVD player to buy if you don't have a really good TV. I've had mine for about 4 months and haven't had any problems yet. The audio quality is a little bit lacking, but for the price, it's fine. Video isn't top notch either, but as I said before, most likely this won't be a DVD player someone buys for their main TV. It's more like something to put in a bedroom. And for that purpose, it works great.

3 out of 5 stars Problems with MP3's.......2003-04-03

I bought this DVD player mainly to play MP3 audio. It starts to have problems if there are more than about 20 songs on the CD, and the fuller the disk is, the more problems it seems to have -- mainly, VERY frequent skips during playback (every 2 or 3 seconds).

I only have this problem with MP3 disks, but they whole point of being able to play MP3 files (to me, anyway) is to be able to put a disk with 100 songs on it and hit "shuffle."

BTW -- to play songs randomly, you have to put them in separate folders ("groups"). It selects a group at random, plays the songs within that group in alphabetical order, and then selects another group at random, etc. On some disks, it tended to pick to pick the groups in the same order each time -- i.e. its random number generator isn't so random. It also takes a fairly long time to select a new group -- 5 or 6 seconds (that's a long pause between songs.)

Sometimes I could hear the disk whirling, especially when first inserted.

Everything else seemed fine. If you don't care about the MP3 features, it's a good buy for the money. Especially if you already have a universal remote, or don't mind using a seperate remote for the TV.

Mine's going back to the store tonight, though.

3 out of 5 stars Nice unit but will not play DVD-R reliably.......2003-03-17

great with commercial DVD, just don't try to routinely use it to read your own recordings. apparently there are no available firmware fixes of any kind. very attractive unit cosmetic-wise
