Summary: This is the worst DVD player I have EVER seen!
Review: I watched two movies with this thing, and after that it simply refused to work. My Charlie's Angels DVD got stuck in the player and I had to get a screwdriver and pry it open. Horrible quality. Movies would play half-way through and then the picture would break up, and it would say "disc error". I would then play the same part perfectly on another player. There is no front display, either! Don't buy this play. If you want a good player, try the RCA RC5215P. I've had it for two months with no problems.

Summary: Don't buy this!
Review: I would like to save you from the embarrassment of giving this DVD player to anyone and then finding out that it broke only 6 months later. The act that caused the break down was moving the player from one room to another. Before it broke all together, it skipped, froze, wouldn't eject, didn't respond to remote comands, or did so very slowly. Get a name brand you have heard of; the difference in customer support is worth every penny extra you may pay for it. I have purchased a JVC, a Samsung and a Panasonic DVD player, each for under $150, all of which satisfactorily reached their first anniversary of purchase with ease. This Oritron player is a waste of money.

Summary: Why waste your money?
Review: Do not buy any product made by Orbitron. The best use for it would be as a doorstop. It totally destroyed my television. You have to open the door with a screwdriver to get your dvd's out, if it accepts them or plays them at all. I have searched online and this seems to be a common complaint. I'm fortunate, it didn't ruin any of my dvd's, only my television.
**** If I could give it a negative rating, I would, DO NOT BUY FROM THIS MANUFACTURER!!!******

Summary: You get what you pay for!
Review: Actually, I didn't pay for this DVD player at all. I received it as a free gift for signing a year lease at my apartment complex. It is my first DVD player and has been pretty good so far. I have had a couple of problems with the close captioning getting distorted, but as soon as I turn that feature off, it works fine!

Summary: Piece of Junk
Review: I had this same exact player for 6 months. Purchased new. The remote commands were always sluggish. You would press a button and the player wouldn't "take" for several seconds, sometimes up to a minute. Finally, the piece of junk broke down all together. Now plays a static filled picture with low sound. I have two other players that work much better. Recommend you spend and extra 20 bucks and get something that works.

Summary: A Great Christmas Gift or First DVD Player!
Review: We received this DVD Player as a Christmas gift in 2000, and we love it! It is our 1st DVD, and it is very easy to operate. I've been told "it's not top of the line", but it suits our needs. Eventually we plan to upgrade to a better model, (only because I want a Home Theatre System and I want all the names to be the same), and then it will make it's way to the bedroom. I feel it's definately a good buy for your money!

Summary: NOT BAD NOT BAD
Review: I recently purchased this Oritron DVD600 as my first DVD player. I figured for under [dollar amount] what do I have to loose. I was very impressed with the quality of the player. Yes it has a few features missing like the front display but I did not care. I have watched many DVD's on my friends players and this one is about the same quality and they spent way more than I did. If you want a first DVD player that is affordable and nice. then this is it. Lots of features are nice but most of my electronics have them and I rarely use them. This is a simple DVD player with good quality.

Summary: A Good DVD Player for the Price
Review: I purchased the Oritron DVD600 as a second player and it works great no problems. I read the reviews listed here and was skeptical about the product, however, for the price I took a chance and have been very pleased. Maybe the products early release had the bugs and have since fixed the problem? I dunno, but once again give it a try I have been pleased and plan to buy another for a christmas present. Oh one other thing, I had read people could not play Disney DVD's well mine plays all Disney DVD's I have including the Dinosoar DVD and has not had a problem on any DVD I have watched, which is about 25 so far, this is what makes me think the newer product is a better product.

Summary: A few problems, but good for the money
Review: This is my first DVD player, and I only was able to get it because I could afford this one. I have had it almost a year and am quite satisfied with the purchase. If you occasionally unplug it for a day, the software resets and it works fine. I learned this from tech support, which was helpful and available. Is it the greatest DVD player? Probably not, but for less than 100 clams, it is good enough. It is infinitely superior to a VCR and not much more expensive. Using a good DVD player cleaner occasionally also helps. Since I hooked it up so that there is no electricity to it when it is off, I have had fewer problems. It is constantly resetting the software and avoiding those messy glitches.

i just bought one for my daughter for Christmas.
