Here's a review of JVC's DVD player.....very good for the price. Maybe THIS one is CUBE?

Look & feel: Most sub-$500 DVD players feel flimsy and lightweight. No so this JVC. The unit weighs in at 10 lbs. (the more typical Pioneer DV-414 weighs just 6 lbs., 3 oz.) and feels reassuringly solid. Inside, the chassis features compartmentalized construction, with a physically separated power supply, and separate circuit boards for digital video, analog video and analog audio.
The blue fluorescent front-panel display is excellent, conveying much more useful information than most other units. My favorite feature is the graphic speaker display that lights during playback to indicate whether you are hearing a two-channel or 5.1-channel soundtrack. Given DVD's many possible audio permutations, any visual feedback is extremely helpful.
Great audio.....
While most DVD players offer similar video performance, audio performance can vary significantly, especially when using the unit as a CD player (i.e., when using the player's internal digital-to-analog converter and analog audio outputs). Simply put, the JVC delivers the best, most musical stereo CD sound I've heard from a DVD player.
How's the picture you ask.....
Unless you've got a perfectly set-up megabucks front-projection display, you're just not going to see any significant differences among players at this price point.
