Overall a nice 3 DVD changer with all of the options and outputs. Great picture quality and sound. If your plan is to keep a DVD in one of the slots and music in the other 2 than this is NOT the DVD player for you for 2 reasons: 1) it doesn't play CD-R's, 2) The repeat disc mode doesn't work well.

After 4 years, it no longer plays dvd's. one day i watched a dvd, the next day, i get a "no disc" error no matter which slide i put it in, and haven't been able to get it to work since then.

I have this DVD Player and love it !! You can play not only DVD movies, but also CD's in 3 Trays. It has so many great features, e.g. zoom, slow motion, different picture (Theater Position) modes you can adjust depending on room lighting, as well as 3D phonic sound adjustment, etc.....WOW !! You must get this !!

I have owned this player for several years and it has been a struggle. It sounds good and all, but the player hangs up quite often and freezes for no apparent reason. It seems to get confused easily if you go a little bit too fast with commands. If there is a scratch or other flaw in the DVD/CD this unit cannot overcome it (a cheap Sanyo I have does this much better). The inability to play the new formats is a very limiting factor. A friend of mine has a different model single-disc JVC DVD player it does the same thing quite often. It seems it might be a problem with the JVC logic circuitry or something else deep and fundamental.
I have had a JVC single-disc CD player for 20 years now and it is a work horse. It reads a disc slower than modern machines but I have never had a single moments trouble out of it; it has taken minor abuse VERY well (5-6 moves and setups). It will be hard to give up one day. But the JVC DVD/CD player is just not of that quality. And it is disappointing because I was expecting so much more from JVC.

I love my DVD player. I like the fact that I can leave 3 DVDs in it at the same time and watch them whenever I want to. I thought the price very reasonable when you consider that it (like other DVD players) can play CDs as well. (you can leave 3 in it) I like the zoom and the multiple language functions, living in South America, I have made good use of them.

Buy it and you won't regret it.
