| strcprst's Full Review: JVC HR-XVC20U DVD Player / VCR Combo |
I bought this player for my mother, because she had still not had experience using DVDs, so wanted the security of knowing she could still just pop in a video if the going got too rough with operating the new-fangled DVD. I bought it in August of '03, and as I write this now, in August '05, I have to report that both players have worked fine, up to now. Yes, I agree with the reviewer who said the setup of the remote is less than intuitive, but operationally, the thing has served us fine (in my experience, by the way, the movie *does* go back to the place it stopped when you leave to change the setup in the main menu). The problem now is that my sister's toddler son pulled out the DVD tray, and now, when you slide it back in, the movies either refuse to load up or play, but only partway through the movie. Too bad. I think it's been a perfectly fine product, though, on the whole for two whole years. We bought it, by the way, on Cape Cod, in Massachusetts, where it cost us two hundred dollars.
