Nice looking equipment that works flawlessly. Fast loading and reading of disc that produces exceptional HD content. For the price this Blu-ray player is one of the best I’ve used. Had Amazon mail the unit to my 90 year old mother-in-law and my husband tested the unit on his recent visit to his mother’s home in Louisiana.

I have this player for about a month now and very happy with it. The loading time is very very fast. Picture and sound are excellent. So far I have no complaint.
This is highly recommended.

I have nothing bad to say about this Blu-ray disc player- works with regular discs as well as the Blu-ray discs.

I wanted to take the time and find the proper BD player for my needs, just like I did buying my HDTV’s - which means a lot of reading on the AVS forums plus reading Amazon & CNET reviews as well.
I never burn my own disc, rentals and store bought blu ray’s only, plus CD’s. I have no need for the LIVE streaming content either, I have DirecTV for any PPV source. The HDTV display being matched with my first BD player is a Kuro plasma, using my Yamaha a/v system for the audio: HDMI to the Kuro, toslink to the Yamaha. My early research told me that load speed is the major variance of all of the major manufactures.
I wanted the Pioneer brand to match my Kuro, but their model 320 BD player was near $300, great performance but very, very slow loading times. My search on AVS led me to a forum posting which ranks the popular models: their power on speed, load to ‘piracy’ warning, load to the disc index, eject speed, etc, etc. The Oppo BD player was the fastest, plus the highest rated performer, and the most expensive @ $500. I had an Oppo up-scaling player, all of the company’s players are top rated and excellent choices. I found the JVC listed as the second fastest player behind the Oppo on the AVS forum.
I eventually wrote the author ( winston9332 ) of the comparison BD player link on AVS and asked him directly, the JVC fast loading, the Pioneer 320 player or another choice, his response:
” I would narrow your choice down to the 320 or the JVC. The 320 has analogue pre-outs to connect to your older receiver for HD audio -that might be the game-stopper right there. If that is not an issue, keep reading…..
The 320 is a better player, but slower, more finicky, and $100 more. I doubt you will be able to tell a difference for BD playback b.w the two. SD playback will be better on the Pioneer 320 (10% diff). That said, you do gain MASSIVELY (50% diff) faster operating times on the JVC and a zoom feature, which I value to avoid abusing my plasma on dvd playback that is not quite 16:9. The JVC’s zoom will work on non-java bds as well. The JVC also will remember the last position of a dvd and non java if you take it out (helpful for tv series dvds). This player has been a refreshing experience. Too many folks are pressured to buy solely based upon label and some of the lesser known players have been pleasant surprises. This player is a tremendous value and will work very well for you in my opinion ”
I purchased in July @ my local Ultimate Electronics store for $200. Every disc I’ve played has been perfect, no rejections. The performance has been stellar, the video and the sound. Of course the Kuro display is the finest HDTV going, which helps. I was also told that 90% of the people would NOT be able to tell any difference in the PQ between the various brands of top performing players, its mostly a race of which player loads the fastest and the firmware updates as needed. The JVC has performed perfect, I wish the remote was back lit, its very plain/cheap looking - but works fine. Most disc load in under :30 seconds. Believe it or not, THAT is fast for BD disc, many models are double that load time +. It also powers on and off immediately - I’ve read that some other players take :30 sec just to power on.
For Christmas I bought my parents their first BD player as well, the same JVC bought online this time for $130 total. Theirs is also used with a Kuro display, same results - excellent performance. I have read that a firmware update is available from JVC, but I’ve yet to download that update - I’ve had no issues with any disc so far. Yes, standard DVD’s are unconverted perfectly as well. The only set up was to put the screen format at 16×9, the resolution @ 1080p/24p playback (our Kuro’s do play 24p content properly) and all of the audio sources for English. Simple, too simple.
video A++
audio A++
set up simple
No issues.
HIGHLY recommended.
If you have the desire to upgrade to Blu Ray - do it !! We all waited for the HDTV craze to become affordable, now the Blu Ray players are reasonably priced under $200.
