I only have this problem with MP3 disks, but they whole point of being able to play MP3 files (to me, anyway) is to be able to put a disk with 100 songs on it and hit "shuffle."

BTW -- to play songs randomly, you have to put them in separate folders ("groups"). It selects a group at random, plays the songs within that group in alphabetical order, and then selects another group at random, etc. On some disks, it tended to pick to pick the groups in the same order each time -- i.e. its random number generator isn't so random. It also takes a fairly long time to select a new group -- 5 or 6 seconds (that's a long pause between songs.)

Sometimes I could hear the disk whirling, especially when first inserted.

Everything else seemed fine. If you don't care about the MP3 features, it's a good buy for the money. Especially if you already have a universal remote, or don't mind using a seperate remote for the TV.

Mine's going back to the store tonight, though.

Review : big piece of crap. Also a wonderful paperweight. Get another brand unless you like to spend money on things that work half the time and then break completely 9 months after you buy them.

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.

Great player! (Rating: 5.00)
Review : We bought this JVC recently as a second DVD player to use in our bedroom and so far we're very pleased with its performance. We don't need the CC function so the problems mentioned by the other reviewer don't really apply to us. One thing, the remote on this model will not control your TV but that's something we can live with. Hook up is easy and picture quality excellent. The player's options are easy to setup too from the onscreen display. A good buy.

Good player (Rating: 5.00)
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.
