I have read rumors of a class action suit against JVC over these obviously defective players. Does anyone know if such a suit exists and if it does, how to join it? I'm so sick of this lousy player I could puke!

Really - what is it about? I've had mine for over a year with no problems whatsoever.

A lawyer contacted me after he saw all my posts on just how bad they were. He said that he was putting the suit together. I told him I was interested. Especially since mine has been in the shop twice and has cost me $150.00 to fix.

I've had the 701 for a year and a half. It got sent in for repairs 6 months after purchase and it needs service again. I was going to send it to them demanding a refund for both the unit and the service. I don't know how effective that would be though.

Well my 701 has bit the dust again. I have sent it back to JVC for the third time. I have been talking to various CSR's and managers at JVC. I told them that I want a new machine and not a 701. They agree. Figure it out fixed 3 times on the same problem with the same parts replaced. The best part is that they will never admit to a real problem with these players. Come on 3 times to fix the same problem!!! This is the 3rd 701 I am on. What a piece of junk. By the way I have never heard back from the laywer on the class action suit.

I had a JVC XV501 for around a year before I got my pioneer in november of 99. Anyway, the JAC never had any problems, I sold it cause I wanted to get a region free pioneer player cause pioneer is the best. Anyway, soon after I sold the JVC, the guy I sold it to said it stopped working all of a sudden. I felt kinda bad, but I never intend on buying a JVC product again. I have their top of the line consumer SVHS deck from a few years ago, it's never given me any problems either. But I never intend on buying another vcr anyway.
