Summary: do not buy
Review: for xmas I bought two products buy oritron. 1 dvd player, and 1 dvd home theater system. which one worked? neither! the player didn't work, right out of the box. the home theater system worked long enough to see a picture, but as perr the instructions once you see the picture you're to stop so that you can run the set up. after that it never works again. AND....the problem is inconsistant. sometimes it won't scan. sometimes it won't open, which is really frustating when your rental disk is STUCK IN THE DAMN MACHINE. also what's with the long delay on any command you give it? not just from the remote, but even when you use the ones on the console it's self it takes so long before anything happens your sure it didn't register when you pushed the button. AND...the remotes for both units [stink]. even if your laying on the floor with the player right in front of you, you still have to wave the remote around don't while pushing a button repeatedly. now i'm not just some lame tech challanged dork whose not how sure how to get a vcr to stop blinking 12:00. i've been an AV guy for decades, and have stayed up with all the latest, and all i have to say about these oritron products are DO NOT BUY!!! they are crap and a lesson in frustion. OH, and here's the topper. the main reason we bought this system when we did was, cause of the rebate. which oritron di not honor. they sent me an e-mail stateing "we did not qualify because our purchase was before OR after the specified rebate period". my girl friend works at the store where the system was purchased and not only do I have a reciept showing otherwise but I also have the computer print out from the stores register print out dated well within the "specified time period". and apperntly everyone at oritronis one vacation or maybe their computers are down. I hope they don't use thier own products.

Summary: do not buy this - horrible (I'd give it 0 stars if I could)
Review: This machine goes into some wierd mode every now and then that requires it to be unplugged and reset. It lacks features, is poor quality. I regret buying it. I suspect all Oritron products are bad given they could make this one so bad.

Summary: You get what you pay for - That's a good thing in this case.
Review: This is a very good unit for its price. I have had 1 for approximately 1 year and have not had any problems. It is very simple to use and the remote control is very good.This is the cheapest DVD player that I could find at the time. I didn't expect much when I purchased this unit, but it has performed flawlessly. Of course, there are much better units out there for more money, but I rated this one 5 stars, because of its price compared to performance and features. One last thing, this is just my opinion but I believe the Oritrons are nicer looking units then some of the other low end units that I have seen.

Summary: Cool DVD Player at a great low price!
Review: Well, I'm glad that DVD Players are finally coming down in price. And this Oritron DVD Player is a great example for a very good machine at a really low price. Comparing my Sony and this Oritron, there is only little difference in the picture and sound quality. Sure, the higher priced models look more expensive and sturdier while the design and craftsmanship of this Oritron looks a little cheap: plastic and stuff. But, hey, it's a box that fulfills the purpose of playing DVDs at a very affordable price delivering surprisingly good picture and sound quality. Of course, for your home movie theatre you may opt for a higher priced model with some more features and the professional design feel and look. But if you're looking for a DVD player to enjoy DVDs on any TV anywhere, or as an additional DVD player in the various rooms of your house incl. the kids room, the gym, even the bedroom, etc., the Oritron definitely appears to be the best choice of the lower priced models.

Summary: Buyer beware!
Review: This is easily the worst product that I've ever purchased on Amazon.com. Unfortunately, I did not carefully read the other customer reviews. Why is this the worst product I've every purchased? Let me count the ways. This unit came with a defective remote control. It only worked when used within three feet of the unit. That really defeats the purpose of the remote, in my humble opinion. Next, the unit stopped working three to four months after purchase. Why? I don't know. It no longer reads DVDs nor CDs. There is no real reason why it no longer works . . . I didn't drop it, store it inproperly, allow it to over heat, use it too often, or allowed it to be affected by power surges. Effectively, I through $84.99 down the drain. (Well, I guess I did get a couple of months enjoyment). Additionally, the unit does not read CD-Rs, which is annoying. Moreover, this unit does not have any additional features like a timer . . . the onscreen display is really a joke. Its terrible. The unit is of such poor construction and quality that you are really taking a gamble when purchasing. If you happen to purchase a unit that is fully functioning, then congrats . . . you won the gamble and purchased an operational DVD player for a great price. If you purchase one like mine, too bad, neither Oritron nor Amazon.com will listen to you wine about it. =( Buyer beware!

Summary: It's good for some bad for others
Review: This DVD player is a good one for people that want no extras. Just put the disk in and play for a normal exceptional movie experience. But if you want the high quality great DVD watching this is not for you. Personally my system has the sound feed faster than the video feed. I don't know if it's just the system or my surround system. Personally this DVD is not worth more than about [money]. With today's market for DVD players it's just not worth [money]. You can get a good JVC or Toshiba for around [money].

Summary: Occasionally overheats
Review: 5 stars for a cheapo dvd player? Well, it would be if it didn't rarely overheat. For a cheap-o, this machine is great. Search the web to really unlock this machines secret powers. This is not a DVD player for someone with a massive home theatre - it's missing many advanced features. It's great for occasional use and even low and mid-range theatres. It's international features make it a great secondary player even for big theatres too.

Summary: gets the job done.
Review: I bought this dvd player around a year ago. I have only one problem I have encountered if you are a wrestling fan you know that the dvds have extras.On one of my dvds it would not play the last two extras forsome reason other than that I believe its a good dvd player. Ive never had any problem with disc getting stuck or anything like that.Basically the two extras I just watched on my ps2.

Summary: Still working for me...
Review: About a year ago, I felt it was time for me to upgrade to DVD's(finally) but I still couldn't afford those high-end players so I settled for this one. A year later and not only is it still working fine, but until this one breaks I don't even feel the urge to buy a new one. From personal experience only, I haven't run into any problems with my player(ok, except to figure out how to use the parental control option...but that's either my fault or the manuals, not the player itself) and factoring price and functionality(needs direct hook up with tv, picture is terrible running through your vcr), am very satisfied with it. Only sore point is it doesn't play VCD's(but it doesn't say it will either). I feel badly for other reviewers who have had problems with it and in their cases, I'm sure it let them down. In my case I can only say it's still with me, still in use on a regular basis(I sometimes review DVD's at Amazon.com and this is the player I use to watch them), and am pleased I bought it. So if you're looking for that second player, that first 'budget' player, or just require something that will let you watch DVD's, I can recommend this one. Having said that, I'd like to point out it's a year later and you could find low-end players for as low as sixty bucks! Plus, you can get some high-end DVD players or DVD/VCR combos for around two hundred. So shop around for the best prices.

Summary: Biggest piece of doo doo I ever bought
Review: This piece of junk cost me about $[money]...It never really played well. DVD's would get stuck. You could see digital junk on the screen. I guess you get what you pay for. I highly UN-recommend it. This thing is a paper weight at the moment.
