Summary: Consider Yourself Warned...
Review: if you buy this product then you get Exactly what you deserve...
this is a piece of junk... do NOT buy it... I wish I were as smart as anyone reading these reviews BEFORE buying something... I baught this from wal-mart and we were able to watch about 5 or 6 movies on it... then it entered into it's disfunctional state... couldn't turn off... couldn't read a dvd... called oritron support... they sent me a cd to update the bios... did that... and that caused the unit to become totally unresponsive... can't even eject the bios upgrade cd... shame on oritron for puting out a product like this... I will never purchase another oritron product... I won't even take one as a gift... I'll exchange it unopened no matter what it is... oritron is DONE... I could type for another 30 minutes about how angry I am about this... but I'll just end it with... Consider Yourself Warned...

Summary: Disposable DVD Player
Review: Is this a disposable DVD Player? I used it 5 times and the dvd started skipping. The 6th time it was nonfunctional. Maybe this was Oritron's, "one use and throw it away model." Forget the one star this should be zero stars. It should be called Orbit-ron because after a week you will want to throw it into the orbit.

Summary: Poor reliablity
Review: My Oritron 100 DVD player stoped functioning after 21 months. The player would accept the disk and take ten minutes to load with the reading disk indicator showing on the TV screen. The DVD player would not play the disk or eject the disk when the remote or front buttons were pushed on the machine. I loved the player but in retrospect I got what I paid for and would not recomed this unit. Spend a little more and get a better unit.

Summary: DON'T BUY THIS ITEM!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: My review will ditto the rest. This unit completely stopped working after using appoximately 4 times! It is no longer under warranty...a huge waste of money and time. Shame on Oritron for putting out such a terrible product and most importantly for not standing behind it's own product.

Summary: Terrible DVD Player
Review: The Oritron dvd 100 is a terrible choice. Mine lasted only two years, and I didn't play too many dvd's on it either. Furthermore, after a year, the remote didn't function, and it wouldn't eject half the time.

Maybe mine was a bad one, but i doubt it. I do not recommend it. Also, it has no S-Video output.

Summary: Gets the Job Done
Review: The Oritron performs exactly what it was built for: To play DVD's and music at an average quality level. This is not a high performing device; it's cheaply built. Anyone expecting more from it will be dissapointed. Watching DVD movies is all I do with it, so that is why I didn't spend twice as much on a Sony or Panasonic. The Oritron is smaller and lighter too, giving you more options to place it in various locations through out your house.
It has 3x zoom, repeat, disc resume,parental lock, and some other minor features. I have no problems with the player it self, but DVD discs that are very scratched may cause it to freeze up. Just unplug and restart and it may play like a normal disc. If you want better picture quality from this cheap player, get a RCA Monster Cable 2, it will make the picture quality a lot better. I saw it was sharper, brighter and more colorful. Overall, this player has been good to me, and it was a bargin in my opinion.

Summary: Break off the edgecrusher
Review: This is a good DVD player. It has everything you need, at a price you can't beat. It's such a good buy. It's easy to set up and easy to use. A great first DVD player for anyone who is thinking of getting a DVD player. I wouldn't use it on my HDTV home theater, but if you just want something simple that looks good, this is the one. It has good sound and picture for the price. Haven't had any problems with it, what can I say I love it. It was cool.

Big Truck

Summary: Would rate it zero if I could.
Review: This is a total piece of ... . I went to a rent to own store to rent a DVD player. I originally had a Panasonic RV-30 that had broken and since I was just past the warranty they wanted me to pay to have it fixed. So the rent to own place brought this Oritron dvd player. Brand new. I had it about a week and a half. Played alright with some minor skips, then all of a sudden just froze. Wouldn't turn off, wouldn't eject the movie that I had rented. Fortunately I had not bought this junk at a store, so I took it back to the rent to own place. They said "This is what they gave you?" They had to pry the door open with a screwdriver to get the movie out. This is a terrible product. DO NOT BUY THIS THING!!!

Summary: for 10 Months use
Review: This unit was my first DVD. I was looking for a low cost model just to watch movies. This unit was on special at an electronics store for [dollar ammount]so I figured "not much to lose". The unit was purchased in February 2001 and worked fairly well. Picture quality was good and the audo output feed sounded ok through my TV's Dolby system. About 5 months after purchase I began to have problems with the unit not responding to the remote or to the on-panel menu buttons. About a month later a while viewing a movie the unit skipped about 40 miutes of content. After checking the DVD at the rental shop (it played fine there) I rented another DVD and it appeared to play fine.

The final shot came in December when I found that the unit would not turn on or open the drawer. At this time all I see are the red power light and the green function light. Not much entertainment there. I am looking for a replacement model but I would be very careful abou trusting Oritron again. I would look at a more recognizable name
