Released April, 2009
The Pros:Good customer support. Built in HD tuner for watching uncompressed 1080p HD over the air. 1080p upconversion through HDMI.
The Cons:Unit will not setup , tried with two units help was unplug or return unit. HDMI output resolution does not stay set when the unit is turned off. TV tuner turns on while unit is shutting down - volume mis-match makes for an unpleasant surprise.

#jvc_dr_mv150b Easy to set up. Essentially same as old VCR style record/play/setup/TV connect. Picture quality excellent. Recorded quality of digital TV program on DVD is excellent. Treat it as you would a good CD player or a computer that needs a little more time than simple recording tape (like a VHS tape), and you'll understand how to use this. I like it very much. Using HDMI cable the setup is simple, sound and picture excellent. (6-foot cord from Monoprice, in any color you like, is just $4 -- exactly same as $50 cable from store, no matter what the sales people say - DO NOT spend more than $10 on an HDMI cable!!!) Getting second unit for my kid. This is a good unit and JVC stands behind it. I have only good things to say about it.
