| horty11's Full Review: JVC HR-XVC33U DVD Player / VCR Combo |
I thought that JVC is a premium brand until I owned this player for the past 8 months now. It was fine for the first 6 months but the last 2 have been a real disappointment. The VCR is fine but the DVD has stopped working. The movie only plays for 30 minutes before it starts to skip, pixel distortion and then freezes. You have to wait about 12 hours before you can watch another 30 minutes of the movie. It's as if it overheats or something. It might be a buffer problem but that is on the circuit board and there is nothing you can clean or do to fix this. Bottom line is that it's not worth fixing for the flat $125 charge that JVC quoted me. New DVD/VCR Combos are selling for $89 these days. It's a complete waste of money. Their customer service doesn't care either. They were no help.
