Summary: Bzzzzt!
Review: My first oritron died in about 4 weeks. It's replacement
(via the warrenty) died in about 3 months. The firmware
always seemed buggy even when it did work. Even though it
had some nice features, I'd prefer not to have them if I
could be assured that the product would last more than a
handful of plays!!!

Review: Negative stars. I was able to watch MAYBE 4 movies. Now the DVD is stuck in the player. Unplug it, plug it back in, unplug it, etc. Nothing. Ordering my new one right now and gonna spend the extra hundred bucks to get a decent machine. I let my desire to have a DVD player get the best of me on this one. I normally spend the extra for a name brand. Don't make my mistake. ...

Summary: Not worth buying
Review: I bought two of these dvd players for my daughters,and the dvds got stuck in both players. All we got was an onscreen message stating that it was reading. We didn't get the chance to play one movie in the players, the next day I returned both players back to the store and lost out on my dvd's that were stuck inside. I also decided to buy two name brand dvd's instead,you get what you pay for.

Summary: buy a brand name dvd player
Review: I brought the Oritron dvd600 for my parents for christmas 2000.. They hardly ever use it and 8 months later it doesn't work. (It doesn't read the DVD or CD)..So my advice is buy a brand name like Panasonic or Toshiba.. You get what you pay for.

Summary: Decent little off-brand player
Review: I have a friend in California who has one and it's decent - not the sharpest picture, but much better than his PS2 doing DVD, or the VHS systems for that matter.
Being I'm from Europe, when I came over with some DVDs, we found a way to make the Oritron DVD600 region free:
1. Press 'menu' 2. Press 1,6,7 on the remote. 3. Exit the menu. And that was it. Doesn't have the remote control button problems or losing the TV like other reports, but maybe the production has stabilized. Still, he was able to see my Dutch DVDs, and still play his Disney discs (man - I want a copy of TRON on DVD too!)

Summary: Well....
Review: I saw an ad in local electronic store for even cheaper. However, after I purchased and used it, I've decided to return for a few reasons. 1. It doesn't play VCD 2. DVD player loses connection to TV for no reason. I have to manually unplug the cable and replug it a few times, and I don't even move TV around nor the player at all. 3. The remote control doesn't work half of the time. Not to mention the buttons on the DVD player itself.

Summary: For an off brand this one seems to be one of the best.
Review: Dear Reader, This oritron DVD is a pretty good dvd player. the only problem i have with this dvd player is if you leave a disc in the dvd player and turn it off it freezes, and nothing works. Then i have to unplug and plug it back in, but it is not as bad as it sounds just make sure you don't leave a dvd disc in it, or the dvd player is a 5 but because of that flaw by frezzing i have to give it a 4, still very good. For the price i well recommend.

Summary: remote stinks
Review: I have owned my dvd for 1 year.And in that time I have only used it a few times.It is not worth the aggravation.The remote does not work the player.I put in fresh batteries and it will work a couple of times.but if you want to see deleted scenes or bonus material forget it.It will only work for part of the time and then you have to do it at the unit.But all the buttons needed to work it are not on the player.So you my friends are sol.

Review: I bought an Oritron 300 DVD player, lasted for 4 DVD Viewings, then died! Their service is non existent. They'e send you e-mail after email basically telling you to unplug it and plug it in again, and I can't find anyone to repair it. Makes a good bookend, so if that's what you want, go for it!

Summary: A good player with 1 bug...
Review: I received the DVD600 player for Christmas and have no problems. It has a crystal clear picture and good sound. It has played every DVD we bought or rented. My only complaint is the inability of this player to convert anamorphic widescreen to my 31" TV. Other than that, this player will work nicely until we upgrade to a higher quality player in a few years. I recommend this player to someone buying one for the first time or to someone who does not have the money for a big brand name player.
