Summary: AWESOME! That's All I Can Say!
Review: This little player is AWESOME! It played my MP3s PERFECTLY! Only problem is you can't see the entire file name, but if you organize things the right way, you'll have no problem finding things. It plays MPEG files which is SWEET! The sound quality with the DVDs wasn't the greatest, but I think I have something set up wrong. This is a GREAT player for the money. Get them while they last!

Summary: Can't beat the price, never had a problem.
Review: I own one of these DVD players. It has performed flawlessly since I purchased it. Have yet to find a feature I'm disatisfied with. Plus, at only $30, how can you go wrong?

Summary: This is Junk, amazon shouldnt sell it
Review: We had 2 sent to us, both failed out of the box. Its a heap. decided to spend an extra $10, and use the free slower shipping. Amazon should do themselves a favour and save money on the returns costs, stop stocking this imho. Its rubbish.

Summary: Norcent Burn Out
Review: I purchased 2 of these units last year for Christmas presents, and the circuit board has burned out in both of them, within a month of each other. There is evidence of overheating of some resistors and capacitors. My concern is the fuses did not blow to kill the power.

Summary: Garbage
Review: We used the thing 5-6 times and then it refused to eject our DVD.
I guess you get what you pay for! What a piece of junk. I can't believe a store would actually carry such garbage!

Summary: Don't Waste Your Money Here
Review: This DVD player is junk. We were drawn in by the low price and since it has been a couple of years since we bought a DVD player, we thought prices have really come down. What a mistake. Better to pay a couple of bucks more. You know what they say - you get what you pay for. First, the remote control does not allow you to set your TV for DVD mode, meaning, you need to use your TV's remote to do this. If you have cable - that means you need to use 3 remote controls just to get your DVD going. What a hassle. Additionally, the box does not play the sound properly - separating the dialogue sound from the background music. The background music gets loud and you can't hear the dialogue. On some DVD's you couldn't hear the sound at all. I could go about the drop in functionality from the Sony we had previously, but, I think I would run out of space. This machine is garbage.

Summary: good cheapy!
Review: I have had this DVD player for almost a year and have had no problems with it. The only time the picture kept skipping on me was when I had it hooked up through the VCR, once I changed that it was great. This is the way to go if you want a simple player at a great price.

Summary: Excellent unit
Review: This is a smooth unit. The unit has performed great and I really like the easy to use remote control. I now own 4 DVD players and this Norcent is the best value in the house by far. If you need great player or would like to give it as a gift, go for it.

Summary: Don't waste your money
Review: the first time I watched a movie, it seemed just fine. Then I was watching the "bonus features" on a dvd and it kept skipping, then freezing. What a pain! After a week of watching movies (maybe that particular DVD was wacked), I kept noticing it was not only freezing on me, but pixelating. Now watching a movie became a chore. Wal-Mart was very expedient in returning my money, but I would stay away from this player.

Review: If you're attracted to shiny objects, stay away from this one!
This is absolutely the worst DVD player I have ever encountered. I've owned both high- and low-end DVD players and had good experiences with low-priced players before and thought that I would give this one a shot, but I really missed my mark! The FIRST one played 3 times before dying on me. The screen started changing weird colors and wouldn't play dvd's, so, after trying multiple times to reach someone with customer service, I got a live person that understood my problem and sent me the RMA form. However, I never received a response from the company.
I had to go back to the store where I purchased it to get any kind of help--at all. They were nice enough to dig through their stockroom and find me a SECOND one--even though it was well-past their own return/exchange date. Of course, the new one played about seven dvd's before trying to channel "The Exorcist" and now I have to return ANOTHER one! Needless to say, I will be going back to the store where I purchased it and beg/charm them into helping me return it to the manufacturer, since it seems that customer service is not a top priority to Norcent Technologies (apparently, neither is selling a usable product)! And I will steer clear of this brand from now on...
