Editorial Reviews:

The JVC line of DVD/VCR combination units features a new deck that delivers convenience, quality and affordability. The JVC HR-XVC28B is a new entry-level combo that offers outstanding performance combined with convenience features that make operation quick and easy.Two key features make the new combo easy to use. With JVC's Auto Select feature all that's required to begin DVD or VHS playback is to insert a cassette or disc - it's that simple, and works with both the RF and video outputs. And a new feature this year is one-touch replay, which at the touch of a button on the slim, redesigned remote replays the last 10 seconds of DVD or seven seconds of VCR programming - ideal for those situations when a bit of dialog was missed or that funny moment needs to be replayed immediately.The HR-XVC28B offers playback of DVD Video, CD Audio, CD-R/RW, JPEG (CD-R/RW), Video CD/SVCD and DVD-R/-RW (video format). Other DVD features include a high performance one-chip AV decoder featuring adaptive geometrical chroma mapping, coaxial PCM audio output, 5.1-channel Dolby Digital/DTS digital output, component video output, multi-session CD playback, 10 bit/54MHz video digital-to-analog converter (DAC), 192kHz/24 bit audio DAC, and Express Play Start that initiates program play about five seconds after the tray is closed. Other features offered by the HR-XVC28B include S-VHS Quasi-Playback (SQPB) and a multi-language color on-screen display.

User Comments about the JVC HRXVC28B DVD/VCR Combo , Black

The product itself is great though, It is easy to use and playes everything great. I would buy this product. Another thing is it burns DVD to VHS very good, records TV programs great too.I have hadItfor 8 months and have had no trouble with it freezing. The player looks different then the picture shows, and the remote is HUGE. The instructions are hard to read. This is the product to get.

at least two of them from Amazon. It seems to be getting harder and harder to find companies that bother to make products that are actually worth what you pay for them. It gets worse over time. Lens cleaning with a disc-brusher, lens cleaning via taking off the case for direct contact cleaning, and air-pressured dusting -- all do no good. (The actual model number was different -- XVC20U in black -- but it's basically the same combo deck they've been selling for several years now. I suppose companies that rip-off customers and laugh their way to the bank must be part of the "new economy" I keep hearing about.

other reviews (under various model numbers) suggest there's not a chance JVC will make good on them. DVD freezing has happens on ALL THREE of them, but it is worse on the unit I have used most. Anyway, thanks to JVC I have several hundred dollars worth of DVD players that don't play DVDs. I have had, in the past, good luck with JVC TVs and car stereo units, and I try to stay loyal to brands, suppliers and what not.

But I seriously doubt I will be making any other JVC purchases due to these things. I suppose JVC doesn't place much value on their brand or image or they wouldn't have dumped this stuff into the marketplace. I bought THREE of these things over the last two years. It seems to do it less when the machine or the DVD has cooled down.

Now they've added progressive scan and DVD burner, other than that it looks like the exact same thing that I bought).They worked fine at first, but after a while, DVDs started freezing up on them. Oddly, I have absolutely NO trouble playing music CDs in the very same drives.
