Summary: Headphone jack and longer warranty are bonuses
Review: I bought this DVD because it was the best I could find that featured a headphone jack and control located in the front. That's very convenient for watching DVD's in a noisy room, especially since many sounds from a film are muted at low volume otherwise. Also it would be great for someone using this DVD as a CD.I believe this Samsung has a one year parts/labor warranty. Many other DVD's give only 90 days' warranty on labor. I had a different manufacturer's DVD of similar price which I'd returned. In comparing them, this Samsung is also better because the remote control does a great job of acting as a "universal" control, at least on my Toshiba TV. The remote is fairly intuitive. It also fits nicely in the hand. The on-screen controls are also fairly easy to maneuver. Consumer Reports this month rates the M201 well, possibly even as a "best buy," if I remember correctly. I would imagine that the M301 is an updated version, since I haven't seen the M201 around. I didn't buy a progressive scan DVD, which would have been ...more. I wanted the headphone jack. Also, by the time I get a new TV that could benefit from prog. scan (ie, HDTV ready), I figured that at that time, I could get another DVD for about 100 or 140 that featured prog. scan.

Review: I do not recommend the Samsung unit. Buy the Toshiba SD2700 which I also own. The SD2700 is hands down the best player on the market for the money.

Summary: my new world of dvd-ism
Review: i don't know anything about dvd--but i decided there were too many cool titles that i would never see on vhs tape--and--this unit says it also will play mp3 files thru your stereo-
i got the unit--it is sorta small--which is good--it is easy to hook up ----it works great--the remote is nice and easy to use--it plays movies !!!--and--- i put in a cd that i made with about 185 beatle mp3's on it--and lo and behold-it played it thru my stereo-it sounds really good--however--and this is a drawback-it will not play mp3 files in random order--it will play them sequentially or you can select which file you want it to start playing from--the video display (on your tv screen)for the mp3 player is a little on the unimpressive side--but--the unit is inexpensive(i had a coupon for 15 dollars off--it does a lot for the money--i am sure that before long they will offer a dvd unit with complete random mp3 play-so--maybe i will buy one of those when they come out--this unit is less expensive than most vcr's--i read lots of reviews on a lot of units and i agree--this one is great--the audio when u are watching a dvd movie is nice and big sounding--i am a low tech person--i am sorta amazed at all this..

Summary: A decent player if you get one without any bugs. . .
Review: I got a good deal on this player and was rather excited about it. My parents and brother both own Samsungs that perform very well. They may have a slight jerk/pause once or twice a movie, but this easy to look over with how well they perform overall. This player was not so forgiving. Slight scratches and dust all sent this player skipping on me about five or six times in about 5 minutes on most dual-layered discs. This problem did not show up on single-layed discs if they were free of error, but many discs are of the dual-layered format. This problem may have been limited to the player I bought. I slight annoyance not exclusive to mine was the lengthy load time as the player attempted to determine what kind of disc I had inserted. Also, there is no real way to navigate the menus on the player if you loose the remote. On the postive side, picture quality was great and better than some players I've seen. The remote was fairly easy to get used to and included a nice joystick for menu navigation. There is a hookup for headphones for private listening if you so choose. Of course, the player can play CD-Rs and other media which most other players charge a lot more for. If you choose to get this player and it plays your dual-layered discs well, I'd say keep it. If you have problems, well, the choice is yours, but I got a Sony once I took mine back and it hasn't given me a single problem.

Review: i got this awasome DVD player for my Birthday. i was so stunned how good the picture is and how crisp the sound was compared to my past DVD players. i have an MP3 cd with about 150songs and they play great and easy to navigate. it is also in an awasome silver to match my digital toshiba tv. i even tried it on my crapy Magnavox 13" and it still looked great. if you dont get this dvd player you are offically insane.

Summary: Great DVD Player
Review: I got this for my husband recently for a Father's Day gift and he was so very suprised that he now owns one. He, at one time thought that maybe next year we can get it, but my cousin convinced me that it's worth it. So far, so good. I have a membership to Netflix and we rent 3 DVDs at a time and all three sound so fabulous. The most impressive one was Pulp Fiction. It really sounds like you are in a cinema. This is a must buy.

Summary: dvd-m301 is great!
Review: I got this unit from e-bay and it was worth the effort I spent in trying to outbid other e-bay members. The video output is excellent (I hoooked it up to my 31" Philips HDTV) and the audio reproduction is really as advertised - it simulates surround sound as if It were connected to a surround system. It plays cds and cd-r without a hitch and sounds great on my Kenwood VR-6060.
