Rating: Summary: THIS IS THE BEST DVD PLAYER I HAVE FOUND! (RARE, TOO) Review: ..DVD players I own, and I have 3 (Sony & Pioneer are my others) and the ORITRON is the best! so it doesn't have a big name behind it, so what! it saves you MONEY! you aren't paying for the NAME! This awesome player will play any NTSC DVD plus also plays those VCD's (Video CD) that usually only computers could play! The remote is great and allows you to play all the individual chapters/pages on a DVD instead of going through the DVD menu... which is handy in finding all those hidden easter eggs! I use the S-VHS connection for the best picture, and the coaxial port for DTS and it is great! Snag one if you can find it!...

Rating: Summary: Keep shopping, my friend Review: A total piece of junk--cheap inside and out. I received this as a gift, and am dreading my in-laws asking about it. It died precisely one day after the warranty expired. Very slow to crank up compared to others, frequent freezing, unresponsive remote control (you could get married and divorced waiting for it to respond to commands!) Poor picture quality with frequent waving and picture edge disintegration. Finally, it refused to give up a DVD, forcing me to take the cover off to retrieve it. Believe me, I have 2 other DVD players, and you can do much better for the price. Try Sony, Panasonic, and Toshiba. I'm sure you work hard for your disposable income; don't waste it on this. My Sony has been playing flawlessly since I bought it, and it is over 2 years old now, and really wasn't much more than this, and in fact, the prices have come down since I bought it. Nothing is a bargain if you are throwing it away right after the warranty expires.

Rating: Summary: Consider the Toshiba instead Review: About 6 mos ago I was in market for a DVD player and wanted to pay a little as possible for a completely satifcatory machine. Lots of research, reading of reviews and finally settled on a Toshiba SD1200. 6 mos later I can only say great things about the quality of the viewing and machine. I stumbled across the negative reivews on this player and wanted to provide cheapskates like myself an alternative player that was hassle free. When I was purchasing their were many issues with the low-end Sony (reportedly since corrected) but I took the leap to Toshiba and would recommend it to others. Pay the extra bucks and relieve yourself of 2 hours on the phone with customer service.
Rating: Summary: I love it! Review: Anyone who wants a cheap DVD player can get this one for a real bargain. You can play all the DVDs you want and it is very easy. I love this!
Rating: Summary: Excellent Product for the Price, until... Review: Excellent product for the price. However, if you plan to play DTS music CD's, this machine will not let you do it (refer to the editorial reviews). I bought a dts music cd and have wondered for a long time why I cound't play it on this Oritron dvd player... However, consider dts cd music cd's are rare and rather expensive, you may save yourself a bundle buying this machine.
Rating: Summary: For the price, a must buy... Review: Given the price the Oritron DVD-200 (and all his brothers) are a perfect buy, given that the work honestly, and give you the chance to change the region at will through the instructions you can find on the Net.Moreover, someday, somehow, we will discover the code to disable the Macrovision!
Rating: Summary: I wish I had gone with a different DVD Player Review: I agree with the gentleman who said this player sticks a lot. I have had nothing but problems trying to get different DVD's to work in this piece of work. I would never purchase another Oritron product. The only thing I liked about this player was the price but I will probably go out and purchase a different player as soon as I can afford it.
Rating: Summary: It's a steal! Review: I bought 4 of them for my household and they were a great bargain. Every one of them still works to this day.
