Thu, 21 Jan 2010 23:28:55 +0000 http://www.txemall.com/jvc-xvn370b-progressive-scan-dvd-player.htm#comment-1856 When my wife and I first got this DVD player a few months ago, we were very happy with it. The quality of picture and sound playback is good, and it'll resume play where you left off if you turn off and back on later. The draw is a little flimsy, but not enough to be a big problem, and it looks nice enough too. If it wasn't for the bugs, we'd have given this either four or five stars as a player. A few months on, though, the bugs have become very, very annoying. Today, we both hate this DVD player, and really wish we hadn't bought it. Sometimes, the menu will load, but the option to move around and select one of the menu options will be missing, so you can't choose ANY of the options. That happens on a lot of DVDs we have, almost always on some of them, and only occasionally on others. And these are DVDs that all worked perfectly on our old player. On another DVD we have, we select "play", and then instead of playing the movie like it did on our old player, it jumps into the previews again - the only way to start the movie is to go into scene selection and choose the first scene. It's not a critical problem. Really, none of them are, and you can get around them. But we shouldn't HAVE to be "getting around" problems on a DVD player that we've paid for. All these things are annoyances that engineers and testers should have been found and fixed LONG before this DVD player ever hit the market. And because it seems like it's a software problem, not a hardware one, I imagine this is something that'll be sitting on every one of these players. The playback is the only reason this player gets 2 stars at all. I'd be strongly tempted, otherwise, to give it only one.

The only thing it could have used was an optical audio connection, but the digital coax works just as well. The picture is great; it obviously doesn't have as many bells and whistles as the DVD-recorder that it replaced, but it definitely gets the job done.

I am now very disappointed at the delivery time. Way too long and I have not received it yet. I won't be ordering products of this nature any more.

But there is Atlantic Station Shopping Center in Atlantic Beach on the main drag, W. Fort Macon Drive. Another shopping center is in Morehead City on the main drag there, Arendell Street....just west of the bridge between Morehead and Atlantic Beach. Clothing is no problem.

I live in an Asian country and most people really don't have any particularly pro or negative feelings about Jews here. They're humans, like the rest of us. Nazis are no big deal here, either, because they never got near us - our issues were with Japanese fascists and their murderous conduct and racist conduct; running all over Asia, conquering and occupying other people's lands, butchering the locals. And no one around here really was overly concerned with the "Protocols" - to us it seems to be fiction. Nice to be out of the midst of all of that bickering...and to think we have a large, peaceful Muslim population, too. Ummm…good question.

Mein Keimpf and the protocols of zion dont seem like books that would be best sellers not even in the Muslim world i can assure you. I would imagine that the Qu'ran and books by Arabic language authours would be the most popular if not that then old old stories like "100 arabian nights". First thing getting an idea what you mean by the muslim world is important because incase you never checked it is huge and the census may have been only in one area or a couple of countries you get the point. Just that fact makes me skeptical of your claims. Could you give me some links to this National Geographic documentary?
