Pros: Excellent, crisp picture! Great capability for the price range.
Cons: Subtitle quirk, sometimes smart mode is not so smart

A progressive scan DVD player is practically a requirement when one also owns a big screen TV. We purchased the JVC XV-SA75GD in Oct. 2001 to fulfill this need. The picture on this DVD player will knock your socks off!

I bought this DVD player because I like the JVC brand. I am in no way an Electronics expert but I do alot of research before I buy. This DVD was about everything I needed. i wanted a CD/MP3 player, so I didn't have to get a CD player. It also has...

Pros: DVD Audio Quality surpasses Sony E.S. SACD quality.DVD movies are wonderfully displayed.
Cons: Too inexpensive...Audiophiles won't take it serious.

JVC must have made a mistake, My JVC blows away my Sony E.S. SACD player with Benchmark Dac-1 for Redbook listening.The DVD Audio is at a completely different level above SACD! This XV-SA75 at under $100 is truly a steal for the DVD Audio quality alone!It is also a truly exceptional DVD player as well as Redbook CD player.Two thumbs up!

Pros: Fast boot time; Many inputs; GREAT QUALITY ZOOM FEATURE; Excellent, intuitive remote control.
Cons: Many audio outputs-- Without speaker setup, can cause missed audio (or moving cords for someDVDs).

I've never seen a DVD player with as many features as this model. Unfortunately, I don't believe this is still available in stores. If you can still find one, I highly recommend it, as it has better Zoom, Angle, Subtitle, and Audio options than most NEW models. Plus it's the only gold player I've ever seen, and has a matching VCR you can get as well.
