Amazon.com Product Description
From quality VHS cassette recording and playback and high-resolution DVD performance to easy spinning of homemade MP3 CDs, Zenith's XBV442 handles all your movie and music needs. This stylish combo unit saves space while simplifying your entertainment hookups, providing convenient front-panel audio/video jacks simplify hookup with camcorders and video game consoles. The XBV442 plays CDs, CD-Rs, CD-RWs, MP3 and WMA CDs, JPEG image CDs, and of course standard DVD-Videos.
Whether your living room is currently home to an HDTV or you're merely thinking of "someday," the XBV442 stands ready to deliver the full potential of your DVDs through its progressive-scan component-video outputs. Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts.
Composite- and S-video outputs (select between S-video or component-video outputs) bring compatibility with nearly any television. Other features include 4x and 6x moveable zoom, variable high-speed scan (2x, 4x, 16x, and 100x), parental locks, bookmarking, 20-track CD programming, and repeat and resume play.
The VCR section offers 4 heads (for clear slow-motion and stop-action features) and stereo sound. The deck's 19-micron video heads maintain clarity during recording or playback in EP (extended play) mode, auto digital tracking adjusts for optimal picture settings for every tape you load, and auto clock set maintains the correct time and even adjusts for daylight savings. You can't program the unit to record at specific times, but it does come with a handy Instant Recording button.
For the simplest hookup with your TV, you can use a single RCA composite-video connection to handle both DVD and VCR outputs. If you want a higher-quality connection from the DVD player, you can use a component- or S-video cable to an additional input on your TV (the VCR image requires a composite-video or RF connection with your TV). You can choose between an optical and a coaxial digital-audio output to feed a surround-sound signal to your Dolby Digital- or DTS-decoding audio/video receiver.
If you don't have a surround receiver or 6-channel speaker setup, you can still make every movie night the ultimate experience: the unit simulates surround sound through two speakers (even the stereo speakers on your TV).
What's in the Box
DVD player/VCR, remote control, 2 AAA batteries, a user's manual, a stereo analog audio interconnect/composite-video cable, a registration card, and warranty info.

its good except for one thing.......2007-03-19
this is really a good DVD/VCR player combo but the thing is. it made my dvd skipped. but that was only one DVD/VCR the other ones my relatives had doesnt make them skip? so i dont know
DVD crashed!.......2007-01-15
Bought this to save space, it ended up taking up space in the garage and being useless after less than a year. The DVD made horrible noises and sometime the sound wouldn't work at all, the VCR never had a problem. It was a total waste of money. Ended buying a cheaper less know brand that is still going without any difficulties.
Limited life span.......2006-12-13
Bought this a year ago, Barely used it. And then it just stopped working...
try something else!
Fine 2/3 of the time.......2006-01-23
Bought this in late 2004.
I experience the static problem about every third time I use it. My fix is to turn the unit off and on, and the machine operates normally. Annoying, but better than nothing.
I also wish the unit automatically knows whether the source disc is widescreen or 4:3. You have to change the aspect ratio in the onscreen menu.
Video quality is excellent. I love that it plays just about any disc you can throw at it, including home movies on DVD (DVD+-R/RW). Also plays audio MP3 files.
No rewind problems yet, but I rarely use the VCR.
For $70, I guess I got what I paid for. I will eventialy replace it with a DVD recorder with hard drive.
Should have listened to the bad reviews..........2005-12-25
This VCR/DVD really is a bad one. I read mixed reviews on Circuit City's website, but still went ahead and bought it b/c the price was low and it was for my kids' playroom. I wasn't going to get an expensive one with a five-year-old and two-year-old running around...and I wanted one I could teach them to work.
Well, I shot myself in the foot - try telling two impatient little ones why you're spending ten minutes trying to get the darn thing to work! Within a month or two the VCR stopped rewinding halfway through the rewind process, which was a big warning noted in the reviews. I have to manually hold the button down and it rewinds with the movie ONSCREEN. Imagine how long that takes. I went out and bought a rewinder (another 12 bucks) and THAT broke within two weeks! It's kind of comical - I have to run all the way across the house to another VCR to rewind tapes whenever the kids want to watch them.
I also have the audio static problem here and there. My husband and I have finally figured out that if you turn the TV to Channel 4 and then back to 3, the static goes away. However, my kids can't really understand that concept so they get frustrated and I come running...
Overall, this was NOT worth the cheap price. It's more trouble than it's worth. DON'T BUY IT!

Pure JUNK.......2003-02-03
I had this piece of junk for three months and it wouldn't work. I took it to the local authrorized repair shop and they told me it would cost $... to be fixed, it needed a new lazer. Labor not included in warrantee.
Got it home still didn't work. Contacted JVC who gave me a secret reset code to fix the problem. STILL DOESN'T WORK.
Ended up cost me $... for a piece of junk.

Nice unit, but mine broke after less than a year.......2003-01-02
I really liked this unit when I purchased it. Especially with all of the different formats that it will read. However, in the last month or so, the unit has begun to freeze at random points on almost any DVD I use. The only way to "un-freeze" it is to literally unplug the unit. This usually occurs 30 minutes to an hour into the DVD. I originally though it may have to do with the heat generated by the unit and the rest of the A/V equipment, but even after I moved it out of the cabinet and into a well ventilated area, it still freezes. The unit did not seem warm to the touch either. I used to be a diehard JVC fan, but after this issue and issues I had with my JVC A/V receiver, I have switched to Onkyo and Sony. Good luck!
Not bad at all.......2002-11-05
This is a great DVD player. It has everything you need, at a price you can't beat. It's such a good buy. It's easy to set up and easy to use. A great first DVD player for anyone who is thinking of getting a DVD player. I wouldn't use it on my HDTV home theater, but if you just want something simple that looks great, this is the one. It has good sound and picture for the price. Haven't had any problems with it, what can I say I love it. It was cool.
Big Truck
Didn't find it up to standards..........2002-02-18
I'm returning mine because of two reasons:
1. There is a very slight pause when playing movies. It's only about 1/2 to 1 second, but it's annoying.
2. (this is why I'm returning it) after I used the 60x fast forward, then hit play, it played just faster than normal. It worked ok when I turned the unit off then on again. Problem is that I shouldn't have to do this.
Yes, these are minor things, but these are the things I wish I would have known before I dropped 2 bills for it.
JVC DVD Player under $)? You bet, and it's GREAT!!!.......2002-02-06
...I have to say I'm pleased with this unit is and under statement...it's sleek and a handsome unit. The remote (which lets face it...to us guys will be held more then our spouses) is comfortable and easy to read (again for us guys) and easy to use (a major plus) and handles the unit great. The picture is nothing less then Fantastic with a 'THEATER POSITION' buyton on the remote to change the visual settings and it does a great job of setting he mood for some pictures...you don't want Shrek and Hannibal on the same playing field. Then you have the sound quailty which again is top notch, and also has different settings called '3D PHONICS' which emulates a home theater sound on a 2 speaker TV...and it too works quite well. Overall if you are looking to buy and you can skip past the savings of a APEX, MINTECH, or any of the other cheaper brands, pony up a little extra and spend it on a unit that will last you years to come. So all in all Great Unit that screams for a Home Theater System....and you wont regret spending the extra ($) on. Thanks!

works good -- a foible or two.......2003-06-06
Plays cds and mp3s just fine. The "hold" button is vital once play has started -- the buttons on the face-plate will activate if you are carrying it around, like in your pocket -- so play is easily interrupted, or the screen info will change in unexpected ways. If you don't turn it all the way off with two clicks of the "stop" button, the play will continue and the batteries will drain, resulting in a very unstable performance that will start play and stop after a few minutes -- annoying til you figure it out. I use this to play old time radio catalog radio shows, and the manual fails to explain that holding down the "next program" button will give you a fast-forward function. It's bare-bones, rattles a bit, but it plays good and the price is right.

I Love it!.......2005-09-17
I love my zv45340us notebook - I even bought 3 so other members of my family could have their own. I purchased refurbished ones for $1030 each several months ago and have not had any problems. Awesome notebook, love the wireless network feature that I use at home, and I use it to watch DVD's on plane trips and travel. Primarily bought it to use for school, but has turned out to be great for entertainment use while traveling. Bought power supply for use in car (must be 150w at least to power it), and found a saddlebag (must be for widescreen notebook) that is perfect to take on the go. I must admit though it is a little heavy for me to lug around but not enough for me to leave it at home when traveling!
Great desktop replacement........2004-12-13
I got this laptop on a tradein at Best Buy because my eMachines M6805 had a manufacturing defect. This laptop is better in almost every aspect. The ultrabright screen is very clear and bright. The hard drive is only 4200 rpm, but its size makes up for this. It is very sturdy and should last a while for anyone who takes care of it. The Geforce 440 Go graphics card is probably the weakest part of this system, but it still has 64 MB of dedicated memory. I have not tried the DVD burner yet, and I am wondering what speed it burns at (couldn't find this information anywhere)... Also, it may be tough to find a carrying case that will hold this machine. Overall I recommend this laptop to anyone needing a portable powerhouse.

To those who don't live in the 'darkside'.............2004-01-04
...The Iogear USB 800 DPI Mini Mouse (w/ 32MB Flash Drive) works like a dream with MAC OS X Panther. Especially w/ a AlPowerbook or G4 ibook. Just plugin & scroll away! It's incredibly "smart", just like you've come to demand in our world. Life is good......
Great mouse but...................2003-10-14
This mouse is handly little thing with a nice self-retracting cord to keep everything tidy. Only problem I had was that when I received it, McAfee anti-virus detected Redlof@M on the disk. (I had just taken it out of a blister pack) So, I just clicked delete, an the virus was gone, and I've got a nice little mouse.
Windows 2000 requires no drivers to make this work.
