This firmware upgrade works fine! Don't worry, the procedure very easy, all ROM (extract from zip) files need to write on to blank CD-RW, then put it on JVC DVD. Close tray, and it will automatic upgrade self, and DVD will automatic switch off (reboot). That's all. :o)
Vote is only 7, because contrary to technical page, player not play WMA files. Can anyone play WMA with this player? THX!

Very good player
It plays DivX and Xvid very good, very good picture (little more red color in picture)
It plays DivX subtitles with MiddleEurope letter (Czech, Poland, ...) but code ISO only (not Windows 1250) Firmware for this is on www.jvc.pl or www.jvc.no and acc. some unconfirmed info new firmware will be in April on www.jvc.cz (support Win1250?)

VCD and SVCD plays OK

Player has very quick start after load disk (2-4s), it is very small
There is little difficult play of MP3 without TV (display has info about number of track and group (directory) only - without text info

RF/FF is very quick (max 60x for DVD) and it is working for DivX too (4 steps)

There is possibility for 1.5x playback speed with sound

About the subtitles:
There is a firmware update available at http://www.jvc.no/template.php?page=100069
But I did not try this yet. With this update, subtitles with the extension .SRT should work.

Can anyone who tried this please contact me, because I am too chicken to try this......

Thanks a lot!

My player doesn't play SVCD nor VCD!!! Took it back to the store. They say it sure does and this was the first time they had any complaints. They would need 3-5 weeks for just checking the problem! Shame on you (Expert-butiken, Sweden)! DivX plays fairly well, no XViD's have worked well. I clinch to my fiancee's Silvercrest from Lidl. It plays almost anysthing.

I bought this DVD player a few days ago and so far I am really impressed. Plays anykind of DivX, that I've tried with excellent quality. It reads the disc at great speed. The only thing I miss with this player is the time-search function on DivX movies.

It has a great design. Doesn't take up much space.

It is not the cheapest player on the market but it's worth every penny.

all-in-all a great DVD-player.

costed £79 from comet.
i was going for the big sister top of the range xv-n412 untill i saw it's brother the xv-n316 which i think is even better!
Loads up dvds pretty quick. The reason i got this player was because my Samsung S224 had given up the ghost it would not play anything other then normal dvds at a push.
plays xvid, divx, vcd, svcd, mp3, wav. = cd
divx, xvid, mpeg2 dvd = dvd+r
seems pretty good, i encounterd a slight problem on an xvid where the sound would stop every 12 seconds for 2 seconds, that might of been a audio format that which is not supported by the dvd player



CDs used, cheap ones from novatech.co.uk

Didn't have DVD-RW so I coudn't test that.

In my oppinion its a good solid player, which is fast, and you can fast forward and zoom on divx and xvid.

The player can only handle DivX in .asf Format. Also no DivX 5 supported. It says nothing about this on the package. Therefore more or less useless if you buy this player as a DivX pLayer.

I could only find a German language overview at:
http://jdl.jvc-europe.com/product.php?id=XV-N316SE&catid=100015
I seems that JVC has decided to first release this player in Germany (maybe because of the big IT fair "CeBIT" which just finished in Hannover last week) as there is no info on their UK site, or maybe the Germans are better Guinea Pigs (or as they say in German; Test Rabbits). JVC have 2 versions, the XV-N316 in Silver & the XV-N315 in Black, the only difference seems to be the colour. Below is a quick translation from their German site:
