Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good Value
Review: Many people don't know that JVC has a long, successful history in high-end audio. My dad has a 20+ year old stereo amp that still has excellent sound, even compared to modern electronics. So it was not surprising to hear the excellent sound quality of the XV-S302SL DVD player. If you compare the quality of this unit with others in the same price range, I think you'll agree that the JVC is a very good value. Although the audio performance of the 302 might make you think you're using a more expensive player, the video is more typical of it's cost. Numerous, more expensive DVD players have better video performance than the 302.

Summary: Didn't properly play 90% of DVD's I tried!
Review: Of the 20 DVD's I rented or borrowed from friends, only 2 of them played properly. The other 18 had a wierd problem where the brightness of the picture would fade in and out. It did it while playing movies, while paused, and in the menus. I called JVC customer support to troubleshoot the problem and they informed me that it was a disk specific problem. Since 2 of the disks worked fine, it's not their fault and there's nothing they can do. These are DVDs that worked fine in other players. Any machine that can't play 90% of the DVD's I try is worthless...

Summary: Great DVD player, especially for the new DVD enthusiast!
Review: Okay, here's my experience.

I've been meaning to purchase a DVD player for a year or two, because of the better sound and picture quality, great durability of the films released on DVD, and diminishing VHS market. I finally took the plunge and bought this DVD player, because the price was great and the features looked nice and basic. As a new DVD enthusiast, I didn't feel like I needed a lot of bells, whistles, progressive-scan, etc. I just wanted a nice simple set-up.

This certainly fits the bill. The sound is great, the picture quality is wonderful, and the performance is very good. Again, I'm speaking as a beginner in the world of DVDs, but this player has all the features you'd want in a basic DVD player, at a very great price. The remote is easy to use, but I would add that the instruction manual for setting up the player is a little confusing for beginners, but after a few minutes and some common sense, it becomes quick and easy set-up.

In short: DVD is here to stay, people. These aren't laserdiscs or betamax. With major retail chains beginning to pull VHS films, and with an increasing DVD film market, this is no mere trend. It is here, and I couldn't be happier. To see my favorite films with crystal clear digital sound and picture, to have them preserved in DVD form, its a marvelous experience. If you're a beginner, you should pick this player up. You won't be disappointed.

Summary: Great Player & Bright/Dark Picture Problems Explained
Review: This a great basic DVD player and should prove to be reliable. The problem mentioned by some reviewers of alternating brightness has nothing to do with the player. This is caused by Macrovision Copy-Protection and can affect your TV's picture even with a direct connection between the DVD player and TV on some TV models. I worked with Macrovision on this and got nowhere. I finally got a Macrovision-Killer and that fixed the problem.

Summary: Affordable and Decent
Review: This is a good DVD player to buy if you don't have a really good TV. I've had mine for about 4 months and haven't had any problems yet. The audio quality is a little bit lacking, but for the price, it's fine. Video isn't top notch either, but as I said before, most likely this won't be a DVD player someone buys for their main TV. It's more like something to put in a bedroom. And for that purpose, it works great.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Good player
Review: 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.
