JVC XV-723GD DVD Player -- Last Year's Bargain

byradioguy May 23, 2001

29 Helpfuls 30 Helpfuls

Pros Progressive Scan, DVD-Audio, Jog-Shuttle Dial on Remote.

Cons Needlessly Complex Operation.

Recommended it? Yes

The ever-improving price/performance ratio of consumer electronics stops for no product, including the JVC XV-723GD. Up until late last year, this DVD player, featuring progressive-scan output and DVD-Audio capability, looked like a bargain with its street price of $600. Now, despite a $200 price...

Pros Great audio and video, with a lot of features.

Cons Very few DVD Audios available, makes DVD Audio function limited.

Recommended it? Yes

This JVC player is perfect for the person who wants it all, but can't afford it all. The player has DVD-Audio capabilities for the best music you can hear. However, they are difficult to find, so that feature may be a bit limited. But even excluding the DVD-Audio feature, the player is more than... Read full review »

Pros Startup speed, aesthetics, remote

Cons Price

Recommended it? Yes

The other day I was able to do an in-home test of this fancy new Blu-ray video system while at the apartment of a friend who just recently upgraded. A few months ago, he bought himself a shiny new 46" Sony XBR HDTV and finally decided that his DVD collection and player weren't doing justice to his... Read full review »

Great BLURAY player with gorgeous audio & video!

byDennisM Oct 23, 2008

11 Helpfuls 12 Helpfuls

Pros Great player for the money, state of the art features!

Cons Set up can be a little confusing, remote buttons cramped!

Recommended it? Yes

My first reaction on seeing this player was the size of the packing box itself! It was really small. I was used to seeing much larger shipping boxes with massive players in them taking up a lot more space! So number one on what SONY has done was to reduce the footprint of this 550 player. It takes... Read full review »
