    Concerned JVC doesn't make durable DVD Players

    Concerned JVC doesn't make durable DVD Players. Have problem with freezing images on JVC N50BK DVD PLAYER after only 2 years. If someone cannot help me with self repair, I may scrap the unit since it can be replaced for the $60+ repair cost. Is JVC durable or should I buy another low cost brand? tomshare@yahoo.com

    have you tried running a lens cleaning disc on the machine? if that doesn't help, i'd throw it in the bush and buy a new one. even a cheapskate like me would spring for a new one considering how cheap they are now. just my opinion

          Stuff is now manufactured by all companies to break just after the garuntee date in my opinion, considering the amount of stuff thats done that too me. And jm1647 I too had a VHS recorder that lasted about 13 years, was one of those cheap brands too! They just don't make stuff like they used to

          And tomshare, maybe you could upgrade to a DVD recorder? The cost of those has come right down now.

            @j1mmy - I agree that things are made cheaper now and don't last as long but they cost a whole lot less now also.

            About the DVD Recorder I bought one about a year ago for $149 US and love it.
