timbre4 said:Don't buy it! It will never do CDR or CDRW playback, the remote is a tiny piece of junk, loads and plays CDs very slowly and is just one of the most feeble electronic products I ever bought. The DTS decoding didn't work and I had to send it in for factory service. As soon as it came back I dumped it on eBay.
timbre4 said:The build quality and remote didn't impress me even though it was a $899 list machine in those days. It fell to $300 faster than any other player I ever saw.
timbre4 said:The dimestore remote is row after row of tiny *exact* same size buttons, so forget any intuitive or unlit night navigation. For a unit in this price range, that was inexcusable.
timbre4 said:The sound quality of the DVD-A itself is excellent but that's the values of the format more than the player IMHO. Took a long time to actually read and start playing a regular audio CD. Plus....
timbre4 said:The lack of stereo also outputs so that it could be used as a stereo CD source for the 5 channel stereo or other modes. (without it, the six outputs feed the 5.1 input and stereo programs will only sound through 2 front channels; unnecessary configuration pain since another $5 in parts would have solved this)
timbre4 said:The DTS failure right of the box spooked me; brand new device fails and the local service people cannot fix it; send to JVC factory service only.
timbre4 said:I bought it because I was dying to have the format, there are so many better machines out there now. Tell me you're not paying more than $75 for this! They've been $120 or less on eBay for the past year...
