Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
JVC's affordable XV-S302SL DVD player is bound to excite all home theater enthusiasts, especially music lovers. The unit'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). You get more or less standard DVD features like variable and slow search, picture zoom, and resume play, as well as more advanced features like chapter digest and strobe play, which displays video in grids of nine consecutive still images, letting you search out exactly the frame you want to study. The unit is also compatible with SVCD (super video CD) and VCD formats, which are popular for many Asian films.

The XV-S302SL really shines because of 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 music sounds as true to life as possible. The decoder's 96 kHz/24-bit resolution ensures optimal decoding of all disc formats, from high-resolution music on DVD-Video discs to standard CDs, audio CD-Rs and CD-RWs, and discs encoded with MP3 audio files. (CD-R/CD-RW playability may vary depending on contents and discs.) Also, 3-D Phonic virtual surround simulates surround-sound effects using only two speakers.

The XV-S302SL's traditional audio connections include one set of left/right analog-audio outputs for compatibility with stereo Dolby Pro Logic receivers and stereo televisions and one 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 one output each for standard composite-video, S-video, and top-of-the-line component-video.

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
