I recommend buyers look at the Amazon reviews for defunct JVC VHS/DVD
dual deck products before they purchase any current dual deck model.
They have a proven history of extremely poor build quality. JVC keeps
rapidly changing model numbers, which makes this more difficult for
the consumer to discover. However they all look very similar with
only slight cosmetic differences.
Search on these item numbers and see for yourself:
JVC SR-MV40US
* Built Defective, I bought and returned three of these units (12/2007)
* Faulty DVD Drive is a known inevitable problem on every unit (11/2007)
* Worked well while it worked (10/2007)
* Disk Error on most discs after 5 months of owning the unit (08/2007)
* No luck with this (06/2007)
* Problem unit (05/2007)
JVC HRXVC27U (5 1-stars out of
* 1yr and 1/2 and it died (02/2005)
* Worst home electronic device I’ve ever owned (03/2006)
* Barely outlived the warranty (10/2005)
* the J must stand for Junk (05/2005)
JVC DRMV5S (8 1-stars out of 16)
* Do Not Buy The JVC DRMV5S DVD … (09.2007)
* JVC DRMV5S is defective! (03/2007)
* Total Junk and they Know it ! (12/2006)
* There’s got to be something better (03/2006)
* JVC should be ashamed! (01/2006)
* Died after two weeks (10/2005)
A search on “Jvc Hi-fi Vcr/DVD Combo” search yields the following models:
JVC HRXVC29S
* I had the unit for under a year, and one day … it just froze (04/2006)
* What a disapointment after only 2 years (03/2006)
JVC HRXVC15S (1 1-star, 1 2-star out of 2 reviews)
* Factory Defect….Look Elsewhere (09/2007)
Here are some model numbers that WILL NOT come up on a search but CAN be
accessed by working through “see all of my reviews”
JVC DRMV1S (>>> FIFTY-TWO

I bought this piece of junk for $189 in Nov., 07 and in Feb right before the 90 days warranty is up it failed to recognize any DVD. I had it repaired at a JVC authorized center and one week after it was back to the same problem. Took it back and got it repaired and about the second week in March another problem crops up-it displayed Hello(I’m dead) and would not open up the CD tray. I took it back to the repair shop and got it repaired. Brought it home last week Friday , April 25, 08 excited to look at a movie and it played for no more than 10 minutes and the Hello (I’m dead again) shows up with my rented movie stuck in it. What to do!!! I called up JVC requested a refund but was told it can’t be done. They gave me a warranty extension till July, 08. I cannot find the time to take it back to the shop.
I will never buy anything with a JVC label.

I’ve had my unit for 8 months, and it has ceased to function entirely. It will not even play a dvd, much less record one. Calling JVC customer support was a waste of my time. As only the parts are warrantied, I will probably end up just throwing the thing out. One thing for sure, I will not be buying anything with the JVC name on it ever again.

After two months this unit would not accept any discs, even discs it had burned itself or store bought DVD’s. JVC would not cover it because it was out of the one month warranty. I threw this thing away and will never buy a JVC product again.
