 Worhtless ... September 18, 2008
I check the reviews before buying this product, I said to myself "they must be exaggerating" and bought it, It stopped working after watching 3 movies ... I took it to the recycling facilities. I have now a Phillips, bought it in Target for 30 USD.
 Great while it lasted... September 18, 2008
For the price, the feature set is pretty unrivaled... It's all good... Up until it dies.
Output quality is really good, especially considering the tiny price... Build quality is another thing, though. After about a month, it started having reading errors, quiting playing and going back to the idle screen. A couple days later, it wouldn't even spin anymore, unable to read any disk. In the end, pretty much disposable...
Maybe our unit was defective, or got manhandled during shipping, but in the end, I'd have a tough time recommending this unit to anyone who needs to get more than a month's use out of it.
 Things I Wish I Knew Before Buying September 17, 2008
After several days of searching for the right DVD player for the right price to use as my secondary DVD player, I chose this one. I read the reviews and decided that this was the right DVD player based on my needs. I am happy with my purchase, because, after all, you get what you pay for; however, there is something I wish I had known before I bought this player because it might have changed my mind.
When you watch a DVD and decide to pause it, be prepared to hit pause again after a few minutes. Like some old models of VHS players, this DVD player resumes playing after a brief pause (about 10 minutes) even when you have not hit play. The same thing happens when you hit stop; after a short time the DVD resumes playing. This is not a good quality and one I dislike immensely. This really wouldn't be a problem, if I could just stop the player and turn off the power. But no! When a DVD is stopped and the power turned off, the DVD restarts itself, which means you have to skip ahead to get where you were when you stopped it. This is very annoying. Thank goodness the DVD player is equipped with an excellent remote that makes skipping around easy.
This is not a huge problem, but I as I watch a lot of TV on DVD and cannot possible watch an entire disc at one time, it does eventually become quite annoying. For anyone who watches a lot of TV on DVD, I would not recommend this player if you plan on pausing or stopping your player a good bit.
Had to return the first one September 16, 2008
I had to return the first one as the sound went out after watchiung just two movies on it, could only get a whisper type volume level. However I returned it for the same model as it was everything I was looking for in this DVD players location. I can only hope that this one lasts.
Disappointing September 16, 2008
I had a problem with this DVD player. I hooked it up to a TV/VCR combo.
The instructions said that I might need coaxial cables but they did not
improve the situation. The picture fades in and out on all but one of my
DVD's. Very disappointing. Don't waste your time or money on this one!
