Amazon.com Product Description
JVC's book-thin XV-N310SL progressive-scan DVD player is a high-value player equipped to spin both your DVDs and your CDs, including recordable CD, video-mode DVD-R and DVD-RW, VCD (video CD), SVCD, MP3 CD, JPEG CD, and even discs bearing MPEG-4 (Simple Profile) video. It also features conveniences like express play start (which starts a single-layer DVD movie in just 4 seconds), disc memory resume for up to 30 discs (which lets you pick up exactly where you left off the last time you were viewing); quick playback with sound at 1.5x speed, and 1-touch instant replay. The player includes JVC's Direct Digital Progressive-Scan output using switchable (480p/480i) component-video connectors. Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts. On the audio side, the XV-N310SL offers Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround passthrough with coaxial digital audio output for easy hookup with a compatible audio/video receiver. The XV-N310SL makes use of high-bit-rate and high-sampling-rate digital-to-analog conversion for both video and audio--10-bit/54 MHz video conversion and 24-bit/192 kHz audio conversion. The model's 10-bit, 54 MHz video sampling frequency ensures detailed images and clear, pure colors for DVD movies. And, with seven parameters to adjust, the unit's Video Fine Processor (VFP) provides exceptional versatility in fine-tuning images to personal preferences. The player gives you a coaxial digital-audio output for routing Dolby Digital or DTS 5.1-channel surround signals to a compatible audio/video receiver. The XV-N310SL offers component-video, S-video, and composite-video outputs, a coaxial digital audio output for PCM, Dolby Digital, and DTS passthrough. Other conveniences include AV CompuLink (which optimizes performance when using the player in conjunction with other JVC equipment) and 3-step picture zoom. What's in the Box
DVD player, remote control, remote batteries, and a user's manual. Note: Some high-definition and HD-ready televisions are not fully compatible with this player's progressive-scan video output. To check the compatibility of your set, call JVC's customer service center at (800) 252-5722.

Summary: Good Product 2005-09-29
Comment: I needed a certain feature in the product, a DVD player that played SVDC, and for a reasonable price. This product was it, and a brand name too. Thank you.

Summary: Mediocre performance 2005-06-29
Comment: This dvd player had very good, yet unimpressive picture. You are much better of buying a Panasonic dvd player for about ten dollars more.
Pros: Progressive scan, digital zoom, component and PCM/STREAM(coax) output, 480i/p, super video output, control, Dolby Digital Audio
Cons: When viewed up close, the picture shows small blocky images. Menu is mediocre

Summary: NOT a region-free DVD player! 2005-01-11
Comment: Although a good DVD player, it is NOT a region-free (multi-zone) DVD player, despite technical descriptions posted on various seller internet sites (the official JVC website does not provide any useful technical information on which you can rely). I bought this player (XV N310B/312S) but figured out that it plays only DVDs with the following encoding: ALL, 1, 1-2, 1-2-3-4, 1-2-3-4-5-6. It does not play DVDs that do not include code "1". When I asked JVC about the discrepancies between technical information provided by seller websites and the player's real technical configuration, I received the following e-mail reply on January 6, 2005: "The information you have seen on the internet is incorrect. All DVD Players manufactured by JVC-America can only play Region 1 or discs that are Multi-Region discs that include "1"." THE SOLUTION: If you plan to buy a DVD player, first ask the manufacturer directly about technical details (do NOT rely on any other websites).

Summary: Buyer Beware. 2004-06-04
Comment: If you're looking to buy a DVD player with an exceptionally clear picture and your TV isn't a JVC, stay well away from this product. After buying this DVD player, I read in the manual that says, "There are some progressive TV and High-Definition TV sets that are not fully compatible with the player, resulting in the unnatural picture when playing back a DVD VIDEO disc in the Progressive scanning mode."They aren't kidding. In fact, they probably aren't being very truthful about this, because I've tried this DVD player on 5 different HDTV sets from different companies including Sony, Panasonic, Samsung, and my RCA - all produced the same results, with a poor quality picture rife with heavy compression, artifacting, and motion blurs. Switching over from 480p to 480i with the component inputs makes a minimal difference in terms of the artifacting, but the picture becomes so grainy that it makes watching DVDs impossible. The quality is worse than cable. I've read through the manual about 10 times, I've fidgeted with every menu and setting on the DVD player and the TV, but was unable to get a decent picture. I just tried a Sony DVD player which doesn't even have progressive scan, and using just s-video inputs, the picture quality is vastly superior.
