Summary: Affordable DVD Player
Review: The Daewoo DVG-3000N is an excellent performer for the money. Visually, the unit has a look that gives the impression that it costs more than it actually does, when compared to higher end models. Aside from this the Daewoo plays dvds flawlessly and I would say that this would be along the lines of the Apex 600B DVD player, which is legendary for it's ability to perform beyond it's price range and with minor adjustment, play other regional dvds.

Summary: Lot of pain before DVD player actually works
Review: I bought this DVD player last month. I had a 3 year old TV which did not have video jacks. So I hooked up this DVD player thro' my VCR. I found that the picture fades in and out. Every few minutes it disappears and appears again. When I contacted customer service they told me it was due to some software (Macrovision) which is supposed to protect copying of DVDs and that if I bought a RF modulator it would work. So I had to shell out another $30 for this. This RF Mod. did not have a coaxial cable so I had to buy this also.
I would have saved lot of trouble if all this info was posted on the site. Also I cannot understand the logic of loading a software to protect DVD and then have a hardware (RF) to override it. wouldnt it have been easier for the customers if the software was not loaded at all ? I would have been spared paying 3 companies (Daewoo, Macrovision and RF) instead of just the DVD player.
I also bought this player because it was multi region but after reading the reviews on this site I know I will have problems with that also.
It is like even if you want to be legitimate, the company forces you to hack just to get the basic features which are already loaded in the DVD player.

Summary: Great unit for the money
Review: I would definitely recommend this unit to anyone. I have had no problems playing mp3 cds, vcds or svcds. DVD play is great as well. The features are pretty basic (zoom, ffwd up to 10x, etc) but if you just want to pop a movie in and watch it, you'll have no problems. It plays all regions (with a slight hack to get to the menu). Like others have said, not having an on/off button on the remote does get a little tiresome, but this is the only unit at this low price that plays all formats of cds, and the on/off problem is a small price to pay for this feature. The next step up would be progressive scan and dolby digital/dts decoders, but that would jack the price up too much. Overall, it's a great DVD player and an awesome value if you have the need to play mp3s, vcds etc.

Summary: Skips and freezes constantly
Review: I am embarrased to have given two of these for Christmas. I bought for one myself and if the ones I gave are as unreliable the recipients may never rent or buy another DVD...

Summary: Nearly perfect for the price
Review: I've found this unit performs very well, and would recommend it. My nit-piks: the remote doesn't turn the unit off/on; although it does successfully play cd-r's and cd-rw's, it occasionally balks at initially reading those disks when I first put the disk in - opening and closing the tray a couple of times always gets it to acknowledge the presence of the disk, but sometimes it's a challenge; I find that having the unit on creates interference in my tv - that is, the off-the-air picture gets the slightest bit snowy on some channels. I have a cheap tv, and get my signal over the air, not via cable, so this may contribute to the problem. Watching dvd's-vcd's, the picture is perfect - it's when I leave the unit turned on but am watching off-the-air content that it seems to interfere. That's why not being able to turn the unit off with the remote is a pain. I think rf interference shielding could be better.But, as a dvd-vcd-svcd-cdr-cdrw-mp3 player, I have no complaints at all. I love being able to make a cdrw mp3 disk with 7-9 hours of audio on it, and letting it run when I have company over, or want to hear long works with no interruption. Can you say Wagner Ring, on 2-discs?

Summary: Great DVD Player
Review: This player looks sleek and capable of playing NTSC discs on PAL TV. Region hacking is possible. Ideal for a gift to someone special living in India.

Summary: Can't beat the Price
Review: You get a lot of bang for your buck with this DVD player. It's my first DVD player so I can't really compare it, but so far, it has performed flawlessly -- the picture looks good, and it has played everything I've thrown at it just fine. Earlier versions of this player seem to have come "multi-region enabled" -- the player I bought is not, at least not technically. There are easy ways of getting around this problem -- I'm not sure if I can advertize URLs on here, but plug in "darrenk" and "daewoo dvd" on your search engine and you should find out how to change the region capability of your machine. The only niggle I have with this unit is that the sound levels are a little low -- one solution for this (apparently) is to use one of the headphone jacks on the front of the unit to connect to your stereo rather than the RCA jacks (red/white) at the back of the player. If you are using the digital (coax) out, though, to your fancy home theatre system, you should be fine. All in all, a sleek little customer -- by the looks of some of the reviews here, it can be hit or miss, but I guess if you miss, just return it and get another one.

Summary: Buyer Beware
Review: I bought one of these as a christmas gift for my brother and was very disappointed when we hooked it up and it didn't work. The tray didn't open at all. I was forced to return it. I don't doubt the claims of some of the reviewers but it probably comes down to the luck of the draw. Maybe it was a bad batch from the factory ...

Summary: Impressed!
Review: That's an amazing product with lotsa feature in really afordable price ($99! + free shipping). It also runs in 220 V 50 Hz (haven't tested it). Now you can have your mp3s grouped under different folders. That's great isn't it?
