    Help to decide on DVD Player...

    Joel- I just received a JVC 70bk from Vanns for $250 shipped and I wholeheartedly DISAGREE with all those nay-sayers about its interlaced output. I only have a 5 year old non digital TV and the Matrix looked AWESOME. maybe I am stunned because it was my first DVD player but I did a lot of...

    New Progressive Scan, DVD Audio Players

    I just received my JVC 70bk yesterday from Vanns TWO days after I placed the order. Frankly, the player is awesome. Granted it is my first DVD, but I could not detect any major flaws watching the Matrix. I have a 2-channel stereo system and 27 inch non-digital TV. I could only imagine what...

    New Progressive Scan, DVD Audio Players

    If you do a quick search on this board or other HT boards, you will find numerous threads on the Panasonic and JVC players. Neither the JVCs or the Panasonics have the chroma bug. The Panasonic supposedly has the flicker bug. Not too sure what exactly the problem is there, but people have...

    Progressive Scan with non-HDTV

    By the way, yes, all progressive players will also output an interlaced signal for non-HDTVs. Some do it better than others and, although the JVCs have top notch progressive output, their interlaced output is supposedly lacking because it derives that output from the progressive signal, instead...

    Progressive Scan with non-HDTV

    Steven, I will first tell you that if you don't have a digital TV now that can handle a progressive signal, few people on this board will give you the time of day, it seems. I have posted a similar question about the JVC XV-SA70bk because it is a progressive DVD player but I also only have a...

    Should I get a JVC 70bk with only an interlaced TV?

    Many people trash on the fact that the JVCs derive their interlaced picture from the progressive. I will have an interlaced TV for some time before I will be able to upgrade to a digital TV. I also plan on having this player for 2-4 years, in which time I would imagine getting a digital TV. Any...

    When do I buy a JVC XV-70?

    My wife and I have decided on a DVD player for ourselves for Christmas and I have decided on the JVC XV-70bk. When should I purchase it knowing: 1. I will not be able to open it until Christmas 2. I want to get the best price possible (will waiting one month make a difference?) 3. I do...

    Newbie questions - HELP

    I at last heard the magic words from the wife the other day: "Isn't it about time we get a DVD player?" I have been researching DVD players for a while and it is amazing to see the battles between comparables (e.g., Panasonic and JVC). Some questions: 1. Some have complained about JVC's picture...
