Review: I'm astonished by how bad this DVD player is. Yes, it plays DVDs from any region, but the "playback" is an immense problem that makes the item worthless.

First, the video and audio playback are completely out of sync. This may not matter to you if you're watching an imported film with subtitles, but watching any English DVD is a complete pain. The delay is about half a second or so, and it's impossible to correct.

Second, within 3 months of using this item (watching 3 or 4 DVDs a week), the eject mechanism failed. I had to unscrew the top, pop off the casing, and manually open the tray to remove a stuck DVD. This problem happened a second time, and I had to remove the springs which close the DVD "Eject" door. It gets stuck on half of my DVDs, which means I have to take a butter knife to the player, stick the knfe in to the eject gear, and rotate it until the tray comes out far enough that I can pull it all the way out. When I close the tray, it doesn't go all the way back in, so I have to nudge it with my finger tip.

Finally, the video resolution is such poor quality that you can see vertical lines on the creen from 7 or 8 feet away (on a 27" TV).

This DVD player fails in every respect. I'll toss mine in the trash once my replacement comes in the mail--I wouldn't Ebay this to anyone. I have no other experience with Daewoo products, but after this, I'd say buy from another company altogether.
