Not worth the money.

"I have had this for about 2 months and it is now rejecting any dvd that I try even the ones that used to work. I called JVC and waited 15 minutes to speak with a technician who said to unplug the unit for a few minutes and it would reset and repair itself. It worked for one DVD and went back to rejecting any DVD I put in. It is now unplugged and in the repair shop...." Read Full Review »
