Summary: better than I expected
Review: (...)I haven't had any trouble with it at all. The only complaint I have is that it doesn't play cd-r's althought it doesn't claim to.

Summary: Samsung Customer Service Is AWFUL
Review: Do not buy this or any other Samsung DVD player. My experience with both the product and customer service left much to be desired. Upon receipt, the remote did not work. Samsung customer service asked me to take the remote to a repair shop to verify that it was the remote and not the sensor on the unit. After verifying that it was the remote itself, I called customer service to get a replacement remote. Samsung would not ship one out until I first shipped the defective one to them. This meant that I had to find a suitable box, go the the PO and wait for the roundtrip mail. They wouldn't even refund my cost for postage. It was defective, why should I have to pay ANYTHING! Even after I told them that Sony had shipped out a new remote when my VCR remote died six months after I bought it, no questions asked, no need to return the defective unit. I asked to speak to the supervisor, she was busy and never called back. Samsung has a lot to learn about customer service. Stick with Sony or any other brand! I decided to return the unit rather than give them my hard earned $$.

Summary: A lot for the money as currently ($$$)
Review: First off let me say that I have not had a problem with this player and that it does play CD-R's. I guess it may matter what brand of CD-R you have. I prefer the TDK brand myself ( certified plus )

As you read the overview here on Amazon notice that it does have a very complete feature set and as currently ($$$) represents a heck of a deal. Remote is well laid out and operats cleanly. It is nice to be able to mix and match DVD's and CD's as I doubt I will have a marathon with 5 DVD's - hey maybe if I am really board...:-)

The unit has all the various inputs and outputs you could use and produces a very nice picture, especially through the component outputs.

There is not much difference between this and the 601 so if you are looking for a lot of features for minimal $$ this is a great player. I have other Samsung gear and have not had a problem as well with any of it but I usually buy their mid range gear.

I view this as a good utility player where you can put in one or two movies and your favorite CD's and extend the party without having to load and re-load the player.

Summary: Beware!
Review: I received this dvd player for Christmas. One month later the picture started freezing up. As time passed the problem became more frequent and the movie stopped playing all together. I called 1-800-SAMSUNG and was givent the name of a service center. The service center was fast a responsive informing me that Samsung was going to replace the machine. Samsung then took 4 months to get me a new dvd player. Two months later the new machine did the same thing. I called Samsung and put off by and laughed at by their customer service staff. To me, the service provided by the manufacturer is just as important as the quality of the product. BEWARE OF THIS PRODUCT AND SERVICE!

Summary: Sam...
Review: The DVDC600 is a wonderful DVD Player-- if it works. If you're like me, that feat hasn't happened often. I bought the player in January. Shortly after getting it, I noticed the picture would sometimes freeze briefly. Other times, it would become unwatchable. Sometimes the machine would stop reading the disk altogether. I brought it to an authorized repair shop on January 26th. After four months of ordering parts and wasting time (and several phone calls to 1-800-SAMSUNG) they decided to send me a "refurbished" model (ie: someone else's broken machine). They called me to say I could finally pick up my refurbished machine-- ON MEMORIAL DAY. That's right, four months later. I went and got that one... and guess what? It had the exact same problem as my first one. I called the folks at 1-800-SAMSUNG yet again, and "Jeff" asked me if that was "ALL" that was wrong with my machine. Then he tried to tell me that the laser pickup couldn't move fast enough on changers so sometimes the picture would freeze. Everyone else I asked said "Jeff" was full of [it]. So in the end, we have a 2 DVD players that don't work, and Customer Service Reps. who lie to customers to make them go away. What a way to run a company.

I just want my money back so I can go buy a Sony or Panasonic. Good Luck!
