First of all, I'd like to start by saying that this DVD player does a awesome job on playing DVD Movies! Picture and sound are excellent....For the 4-stars :I took away 2 stars because my primary use of this machine was MP3 playback.....There are lots of improvement to be made in the MP3 portion of this machine::Positive : 1.Attractive on-screen mp3 layout2. Program, Repeat and Random features...Negative : 1. On-screen display only shows the first 8 characters of the song filename. (Which sux!)2. No fast forward or rewind during MP3 playback...Which is insanely disturbing to me...3. The player has problems playing CD-RW discs. I regularly hear pops, clicks and zips during playback. Im not sure if this is only on CD-RW discs...That's it!!If you'r an audiophile like me and into MP3....You might turn your head towards the JVC XV-S60BK.But if your into mostly watching movies....GO FOR IT!!!
