ASIN: B00005NCWG |
Product Description
With JVC's XV-S60BK, high-performance progressive-scan video doesn't come with a high price tag! If you already own an HDTV-ready TV, select progressive-scan output on the XV-S60BK and start enjoying a smoother, more film-like look on your DVDs. Or select interlaced video for a great picture with your regular TV, until you're ready to upgrade. You'll love the XV-S60BK's audio versatility: it not only plays your audio CD-Rs and CD-RWs, but also your ultra-long-playing MP3-encoded CD-Rs and CD-RWs. No need to spend time converting those MP3 files into regular audio tracks!

Both optical and coaxial digital outputs are provided to connect to a Dolby Digital receiver.Amazon.com Product Description

Customer Reviews:
Pleasantly Surprised.......2002-06-27
This machine works better than I ever expected and was $55 less expensive than the Toshiba 4700. It seems more solid, responds quicker to commands and the remote can be programmed to control any brand of television.... Highly Recommended.
This baby's got the goods - for an incredibly low price!.......2002-05-28
The back panel is equally streamlined but has all the usual outputs. The component-video jack is switched to progressive mode by pressing the Progressive Scan button on the remote and holding it for a few seconds. In a new and very welcome trend that saves you quite a few bucks, JVC packages a set of component-video cables with the player.
The JVC's remote control felt substantial, with large buttons I could easily locate by touch in the dark. The controls you'll use most often are on the lower half. Directly above them are buttons for less used functions like picture zoom and shrink, Digest (displays a grid of images from each chapter on a DVD), and picture-quality presets. The remote can also be configured to control your TV.
Pressing the On Screen button near the bottom of the remote during playback shrinks the movie to a quarter-screen window and fills the rest of the screen with a control panel. Several functions can be accessed from this panel, including repeat modes, time and chapter search, and selection of soundtrack and subtitle language or camera angle. It also includes bar graphs indicating elapsed time and the disc's data-transfer rate. When you're playing a CD, a similar onscreen control window is available to set up repeat modes or program track order - if you don't mind turning on the TV.
The JVC's 2x fast-scan mode delivered smooth, fluid playback. Another neat feature is aspect ratio control, activated by selecting the 16:9 Normal setting in the setup menu. This will prove useful if you have a widescreen HDTV that locks into a 16:9 or "full" display mode when it receives a progressive-scan signal (a number of them do). Set to its 16:9 Normal mode, the JVC player formats standard 4:3 images so they'll appear on widescreen displays with correct geometry instead of being stretched out to fill the screen.
Like the Marantz changer, the JVC effortlessly sailed through my progressive-scan torture tests. Scenes with fine horizontal lines combined with moving cam erawork all came through without any artifacts. Colors, too, looked solid, with no combing visible in either the bright reds of Yellow Submarine or the catcher's orange chest protector in For the Love of the Game.
When I switched to another reference DVD, the Hitchcock classic North by Northwest, I thought at first that the JVC came up somewhat shy on picture detail. Checking the sharpness control in the player's Normal preset, however, I noted that it was a notch below maximum. Bumping it back up let me clearly see both the texture in Cary Grant's impeccably cut gray suit and the details in the intricate furnishings of James Mason's library. Setting sharpness to maximum added slight ringing artifacts to the lines in the resolution pattern of Ovation Software's Avia test DVD, but I didn't notice any with movies.
The JVC XV-S60BK is an all-around excellent progressive-scan player that's also very reasonably priced. Having finally gotten my hands on it, I can attest that it more than justifies the buzz.
Order yours today!
great player really happy.......2002-03-29
Splendid Unit.......2002-02-24
Buyer beware!.......2002-02-21
Apparently, only one of the two video outputs (composite and component) is active at a time with the proper video. And which one is active depends on whether or not the progressive mode is active. Coming from the inactive video port is a screen that says something about upgrading software or installing an upgrade.
Presumably, the component video output can only provide the proper video when the unit is in the progressive mode. I have been able to make this happen only once, and subsequent attempts of pushing the arcanely-labeled VFP button on the remote control unit have not been successful in placing the unit in the progressive mode. As late as 20 February 2002, the unit is now producing this weird upgrading or installing software screen on the composite video output while not in the progressive mode--exactly opposite to what the manual indicates will be the case.
A call to the JVC service center back in November 2001 with a description of this upgrading or installing software screen got the response that they had never heard of this before, and they had no idea what was happening. They advised going through a reset procedure that they provided. Once this was done, the unit behaved the same way as before.
Another annoying thing about this DVD is that once the tray open/close is selected and the disk is removed, the response to pushing the open/close button is one of two: either it does nothing and the tray stays open or the tray closes and then in a few seconds reopens!
The unit was taken in November 2001 to one so-called JVC factory authorized repair center, Lakewood Stereo in Lakewood, New Jersey, where they kept it until February 2002. It continues to malfunction.
The bottom line is this: If you buy this product, or apparently any JVC product, and your unit has a problem, you will be on your own. You will not be able to get any useful service support from the JVC web site, the JVC service telephone number, nor any useful factory-authorized service. Your money will simply be gone with no satisfaction from your purchase.
