 awesome for the priceAug 01, 2005
By Dreux
We purchased this DVD player because it plays DVD-R format discs. This enables us to watch our archived videos on our TV, so that laptop use is minimal.
The screen is very bright (blue) and easy to read. It has many features accessible via remote (i.e. zoom, slow, etc) and functions quickly. Its slim design makes it able to fit in tight places, although like most other DVD players can only be set up horizontally. Installation was a breeze, and it functions well with our satellite, VCR, game cube, and TV.
For an off brand (off brand only because it is dwarfed by the bigger corporations; Sony, Toshiba) it performs better than I expected. A month after purchase, it is still running like new.

 Maybe I Got A Lemon!Jan 20, 2006
By David Kovensky
"rbk23"
I may have been the one in a thousand buyers, but I had to return this item after getting about 10 minutes of normal Play operation and then it froze up. After I tried all the trouble-shooting procedures in the Owner's Manual, all I could get was a very long "Loading" message followed by a "Wrong Disk" message. I then tried five different DVDs that I knew were working O.K. on my other DVD player with the same results. Thank goodness that I ordered this product through Amazon.com and was able to return it for a full refund/no postage
charge. All I lost was two hours of fruitless trouble-shooting time!

 Awesome DVD player... Buy It!Dec 07, 2005
By Caleb Charles Hodson
This DVD player is great... It is nice and compact and has an awful lot of great features for the price. I especially like it because it is compact and doesn't take up a lot of room. It can fit basically anywhere. I nice touch is the 5.1 channel Dolby Digital preamp output. If you have a 5.1 ready receiver connect the analog ouputs and you will have a sound system that rival that of the best movie houses.
If you have a computer that can burn CDs, this DVD player will play your MP3 discs. Add an easy to use menu screen, easy setup, and you have one heck of an outstanding DVD player. I bought it not only because of the price, but also because of the progressive scan picture quality with the new digital TV sets. An amazing picture all the way around... If you're looking for a good dvd player for a great price, this is the one to buy...

Well, he/she is not the only one. Mine does the same thing now. I was getting ready to play a DVD when it just froze up with the same problems described above. This person was lucky cuz he was able to return it for a full refund. I did not order it off Amazon. I got it on Sale through a Sav-On Drugs Store so I'm stuck with a dead DVD player. I paid I think $30 bucks for it so you know how that saying goes ... You get what you paid for. This is junk. Don't be cheap and just shell out the extra bucks for a Sony, Panasonic, or other name brand DVD Player.

Great value for moneyAug 30, 2006
By Michael A. Celentano
I bought this unit as a 4th dvd player, so I didn't want to spend too much. For the money, I think this unit is flawless. The worst I can say about it is that it's a bit chintzy feeling. But it's small and light and has performed perfectly so far. You can even use it with multi-region format dvds. The picture and sound are identical to much higher priced units, and if it should expire prematurely, well it cost $36 so I'm getting my money's worth.
