JVC XV-N33SL

JVC had excellent quality products but unfortunately recent JVC products like this one is badly built. Low quality component, background noise, doesn't load image, sometimes stops working and the next day back to work. I called the JVC support and they were very arrogant. I highly recommend getting a better quality brand than JVC.

I bought a JVC XV-N33SL player as a birthday present for my girlfriend's brother, after shopping around for a cheap dvd player. At NOK 990 (€110/£80), it seemed like good value. I didn't even try it in the shop, just bought it straight away, thinking it should be a fairly good player, being JVC and not one of those cheap computer hardware brands. I installed the player to his hi-fi/tv system when he was at work, and was immediately surprised of the great picture and sound quality when I got it cabled. What a bargain! It doesn't have SACD or DVD-A, but hey! JVC, which in my (earlier) opinion always sacrificed "feel" for "tech", has made a dvd player which still would be good value, even at double price!

The JVC XV-N33SL is a Great DVD player. Sound is very good, "flat", great for connecting my Home Cinema amplifier. Gives a "sweet" sound in contrast to others (Daewoo, Panasonic) with "echo-filled" and loud sound.

Ultra-fast reading of discs, plays everything you chuck into it, others didn't do so well.

Purchased this JVC XV-N33SL from BIG W for £59.99, the cheapest in town. It is a very good machine for a first DVD player and does everything I want it to. It also plays copies.
