Experienced locking up issues, especially when deletign files from HDD. Only cure is a re boot which, as mentioned before can take 10 mins. It would rate as a good machine if it weren't for this. JVC won't be on my shopping list ever again.

Mine has worked perfectly no locking up or anything. DVD playback is excellent as is recording. Once you've used it or a while it is simple to operate. The manual could be better and made easier to understand.

When it works, it works well. Quality is excellent at SP setting and it is logical to use. However, in common it seems with other JVC DVD/HDD recorders, it suffers from a 'locking up' that is only curable by disconnecting from the mains supply. Then it can take up to 10 minutes runnning through the 'loading' process before it will function again. Not much fun if trying to record a program - even worse if recording to a DVD; it will be corrupted and unusable. Basically, this unit cannot be relied upon to perform its basic functions. It has already been returned to JVC for repair once and not only came back with the same problem but also had a damaged front cover. JVC do not seem to understand or care about the concept of customer service. Avoid.
