JVC XV-FA900BK 7-Disc DVD Player (Black)
Manufacturer: JVC ProductGroup: CE Binding: Electronics Accessories:
Product Features:
ASIN: B000077883 |
Product Description
The JVC XV-FA900BK is a 7-disc carousel changer with "Play & Exchance", an "all-in-one" player that people are looking for. Not only does it play DVD & CD; it also plays DVD-R, MP3, CD-R R C/RW recordable CD formats, SVCD, VCD and digital stills (JPEG on CD-R/CD-RW). The XV-FA900BK is packed with many exciting features such as DVD Audio format playback, 3-D Phonic sound, variable and slow search, zoom, digest and strobe play, angle list, resume function and AV Compulink. Fiber optic and coaxial digital audio outputs with Dolby Digital & DTS pass-through are provided for easy connection to any system.Amazon.com Product Description
At less than 5 inches tall, this DVD-Audio-equipped seven-disc DVD-CD player is as sleek as it is powerful. The carousel-style changer offers play exchange (swap up to six discs while one plays), high-resolution DVD-Audio capability with JVC's custom 1-bit P.E.M. D.D. digital-to-analog audio converter, and premium-quality progressive-scan video (for use with a high-definition or HD-ready TV). The unit also plays MP3 music and JPEG image CDs.DVD-Audio offers super high-fidelity stereo and six-channel sound at 192 kHz/24-bit resolution and unique bonus materials not available on regular audio CDs. As an antipiracy measure, the XV-FA900BK performs its own decoding of DVD-Audio signals, passing high-resolution analog, not digital, audio to your surround receiver. This means you'll need an audio/video receiver with multichannel analog-audio inputs. The unit also decodes standard Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround sound through those same analog outputs, while digital-audio outputs (one each coaxial and optical) provide the option of a direct digital connection to a receiver. For stereo-only setups, 3D-Phonic virtual surround sound simulates surround through two speakers (even the stereo speakers on your TV).
JVC's Digital Direct Progressive Scan Output, quantified 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. High-quality component-video outputs help minimize line scan and digital artifacts on compatible televisions, while composite- and S-video outputs ensure compatibility with nearly any set. VFP (Video Fine Processor) provides seven-parameter picture adjustment: gamma, brightness, contrast, color, tint, sharpness, and Y delay. In addition to two factory presets (normal and cinema), there are two user-selectable memories. Other features include gold-plated analog outputs, digest (for visual access to desired title/chapter), a high-resolution GUI (graphical user interface), and 13-step zoom (from .125x to 1024x). The player comes with a composite-video/stereo analog-audio interconnect, a user's manual, and a glow-in-the-dark multibrand remote control.

Keep on shopping..........2004-07-15
Next, it jitters and jumps on DVDs, new ones and old ones. I just purchased The Rundown and right out of the case it has problems with this movie. The problem is difficult to describe. At first I thought that it was having difficulty transitioning to the second layer on dual layer discs, however after further testing it appears to have problems with any part of the second layer. As most people know, or will find out, movies that are purchased are created with dual layer technology and the latter portion of most movies are on the second layer. I also noticed this problem occuring in the beginning segments of my daughter's Brother Bear movie.
It plays CDs fine and plays MP3 cds fine as well. I wish that when it played CDs that it would provide a list of the tracks - not the titles, just at least the track numbers on the TV screen. When an MP3 disc is played it lists the file names on the TV, which is nice, however, if you have files that have cryptic filenames and you rely on the MP3 ID tag when you listen to them on your computer, it becomes difficult to decipher them on the television screen.
I would recommend that the consumer keeps on shopping. I have gone through 2 Sonys before I purchased this DVD player and a JVC prior to those Sonys. The Sonys do not last very long, lasers burn out easily, but are great for features and speed. I am looking for a Pioneer to match my receiver or possibly invest in a higher end player to replace this disappointing JVC.
I purchased mine for $179.99 as Ultimate Electronics in February 2004.
Clearing up some issues - This is a great DVD player.......2004-03-17
The remote is one of the best I have ever used, and I find it very intuitive and easy to use. The user's manual is great as well. I also liked that it came with a component video cable and I didn't have to purchase one separately.
If you plan to use this unit primarily as a DVD player and are likely to have "marathon" DVD sessions, this unit is superb. I often have a mix of several 2 disc DVD's and some audio CD's in the unit and love having the 7 disc capacity to be able to do this.
Some of the negative reviews here have bothered me because they seem to come from some ignorant viewpoints. I would like to address those for those of you considering this unit.
Noise while changing disks: For those who complain about noise while changing a disc, you should probably have gone in to your local Best Buy or other electronics store and viewed a floor model. When you see and understand the mechanical method used you will understand why there is "some" noise while it changes discs. I, for one, do not find this disturbing at all. To get a 7 disc changer in the space of 5, and from an engineering standpoint, I find JVC's method rather ingenious. I tell you, don't let a little noise when it changes discs to dissuade you from buying this unit. This unit makes absolutley NO NOISE (other than the intended audio from the media being played) when playing.
Flashing light for current disc being played: The light that flashes for the current disc being played HAS NEVER BEEN an issue for me. I don't have ADHD either though, so I am able to stay engrossed enough in the movie I am watching that I HAVE NEVER NOTICED OR BEEN DISTRACTED by the flashing light (even in a darkened room!), so don't let this dissuade you from buying this unit. GET A LIFE (or some Ritalin) IF THIS BOTHERS YOU!
Note that JVC sells and markets this first and foremost as a DVD player, albeit one that can play a wide variety of formats. For those of you who want more of a "pure" CD player because you will be mostly playing CD's and want a "true" random play setting, GO BUY A DEDICATED CD PLAYER! Same goes for those of you who plan to use a DVD player to mostly show your photos, if the photo load times bother you, then go buy a dedicated device whose main function is to do that. JVC has added those as a convenience, but it isn't the main purpose of this player. For most people this unit will do a fine job of replacing your CD player as well.
For the reviewer who had several disks get jammed, etc... my 2 year old unit has NEVER jammed and I don't find the unit to be "prone" to jamming whatsoever and I use it quite frequently and often am changing discs while one is playing. I suspect that any jamming that occurs is more related to problems with the "user" than the unit. I am sure impatience and not seating a disc correctly will cause jams in ANY multi-player unit.
Some reviewers have complained about the DVD-Audio connections/confusion. Had you thoroughly researched before your purchase, you would have found the answer to this. If you go to the JVC website (as I did, and I do for ANY manufacturer of equipment that I am thinking of buying), you would have found this info.
To sum it up, this unit has been superbly reliable in the time I have owned it (which is why I bought a 2nd one). It has superb audio and video output. I recommend this to anyone looking for a multi-disc DVD player (with the ability to play CD's and the other formats it lists).
Great player!!.......2003-10-24
Great Quality, but not for MP3 or JPEG.......2003-06-21
However, one main reason for buying a new player was to view JPEG photo CDs, and listen to MP3 audio CDs. This player is not good for either: it does not recognize the ID3 tags in MP3 audio files and fails to play any file containing them (so, if you've ripped any audio in the last year or more you've got to start again). Also, it is extremely slow in displaying JPEG photos, although it seems to be one of the few players to load the photo at full resolution (so if you zoom in you see a lot of detail). Load times for a 4M-pixel photo are about 20 to 30 seconds! You could choose to re-burn all your photo CDs at lower resolution, but why not just buy a player that shows them faster?
Best for MP3 or JPEG: Toshiba SD-2900 or Samsung 5-disc changer. I ended up returning the JVC even though I liked it for so many other reasons, and bought the Samsung instead - it doesn't look as nice, only holds 5 discs, but it displays JPEGs faster, and plays every single MP3 song I have.
great player, handles everything perfectly.......2003-06-02

I bought it for what it it, and it is good at it!.......2001-11-20
Failed Twice.......2001-09-01
Simple, compact, good microphone.......2000-12-27
What it does do is provide one of the smallest, really useful notes recorders around. It really does slip in your pocket. It just seems to naturally fit in your hand for those quick notes of brilliance that hit you while driving down the road. It has high quality electret condensor microphone that seems to be very sensitive. Its tiny speaker is good for speech but doesn't have much volume. It comes with a good earphone. However, don't record with the earphone plugged in! It monitors what you say and there is a slight delay from the time you speak to the time you hear it in your earphone. It will drive you crazy!
This recorder is not for everyone. You really have to have a focus on its positive attributes, but if those are your hot buttons, you'll love it.
small package, big pay off.......2000-11-24
