Summary: buttons hard to push, difficult to connect
Review: I don't recommend this player. My friend and I decided to buy DVD players and we both bought the cheapest available, this Oritron. We both spent agonizing hours trying to get the players working with our completely different TVs. Neither of us could get them to work and eventually returned both of them. Even if we could have gotten them to work, the lack of information on the front of the player is really irritating. Plus, the on light never goes off, and winks back at you any time you use the remote for some other device. But the worst thing of all was the non-reponsiveness of the buttons. I clicked and clicked and clicked and only a third of the time would the unit respond. This was true with both the buttons on the machine and on the remote. My friend had the same experience. I recommend you stay away from this player and spend a little extra money on something better.

Summary: IT STINKS!!
Review: folks Please dont waste your money on this. My wife purchased this player because we wanted in on the DVD revolution. I was happy to finally get a DVD player but i was skeptical since i am a Panasonic man (they make some of the best electronics) Well It worked great for about 8 months no problems at all. then the audio output jacks just quit working one day. I'm very sure it was that because I worked in a Home theather store for 5 years and i know how to troubleshoot a setup. we phoned the company and they told us theyre was nothing they could do about it since it was out of warranty. Dont buy it people. just because you pay less for something doesnt mean its a good deal. I compare it to buying a Honda or a Yugo. that yugo is going to get the job done for a while BUT you could have spent a little extra money on the Honda and have something thats going to last so much longer!!! Good Equipment pays for itself when you dont have to get rid of it a year after you purhcased it! AVOID THIS PRODUCT AT ALL COSTS!! Save yerself lots of pain and heartbreak. Get a name brand like Panasonic, sony, Toshiba, GE. They will cost you a little bit more but its worth it!!

Summary: 3 month warranty - product stopped working after 4 months
Review: Disgusting! Good luck getting service or support under warranty! I'm out my $100 bucks and stuck with a worthless [unit]. It worked fine for about 4 months then started getting digital garbage patches flickering on the screen. It happens with all DVDs. I guess they have their reasons for only giving their measley 3 month warranty, they know the unit is junk! This was a Christmas gift for my father, very disappointed. Highly recommend NOT buying this item.

Summary: Good introductory DVD player
Review: I have had the Oritron DVD600 for about 90 days. With only one exception, it has worked very well on the all of the DVD rentals and titles I have bought. At first, I did experience the variations of light and dark picture (especially on "Meet the Parents") that others have mentioned, but it went away when I connected it directly to the television, and not through the VCR. The sound is very good, if not great. One problem I have had, that I haven't seen mentioned elsewhere, is that the player defaults to a French soundtrack (if that option is available on the menu) if you do not actually select English before starting the movie. This is more an annoyance than a major problem, since I knew it was an inexpensive machine going in and expected some bugs. But one movie I bought, John Boorman's "Excalibur," will NOT play in English no matter what. In fact, after a few minutes of trying, you cannot even access the menu on this DVD. This is the only title so far that has had this problem - the disc worked fine on a friend's machine, so I know it's not the DVD. I have not tried the Disney discs that some others have had problems with. Other than this, I have been pleased with its operation, and have enjoyed many hours of viewing with no distractions from the player. I have been watching the "Monty Python's Flying Circus" complete series box set (which cost more than the player!) and have had no problems navigating through the many special features. I will probably get a more expensive machine in the future, but I think this was a great way to initially get into the world of DVD.

Summary: Excellent value
Review: As my introduction to DVD's, I got this player for Christmas. After reading some of the reviews posted here, I just feel that I had to put in a good woord for this player. I find it hard to believe that I managed to get the only GOOD one of these players out there.. I have been VERY pleased with the DVD600. Connecting it to my television and audio system was easy. I have NOT experienced the problems I have heard others talk about with stuck disks or disks that would not play. It has an excellent output for both video and audio. I did notice, however, that unless you have really good cables, you may experience your picture going from dark to light. Once I replaced the cheap cables I was using (which may have even been old audio cables) the problem went away. While I don't have an extensive DVD collection, so far, every DVD I have played has worked flawlessly. From the Matrix to the Cell to Charlie's Angels, each one worked without a hitch. The bottom line is that from my experience, this is an excellent player if you are on a budget or to use as a secondary unit, kids room, etc..

Summary: it doesn't play all
Review: I bought this particular dvd player for my son for Christmas. I thought it was a great deal but it turns out it wasn't so great. For one it will not play Disney DVDs and doesn't play all movie DVDs. It's kind of a hit and miss thing. Will it play or won't it. You are better off buying a known brand even if it costs more.

Summary: Nice inexpensive DVD player
Review: My first experience with this player was very positive. That is until I inserted the second DVD, which happened to be Disney's Dinosaur which I purchased at the same time as the player. For some reason this completely locks up the player. It is quite a trick to figure out to even eject the CD, which requires unplugging the unit, re-powering, and hitting the eject before it locks up again! All of my other DVDs work fine in it, but I think it will have to go back to the store to be exchanged for one that can play Dinosaur. The Dinosaur DVD works fine in the Toshiba DVD in my PC.

Summary: Disney DVD Drama
Review: The Oritron DVD Player is great for the money but I am just puzzled about the Disney Dinosaur DVD not playing. How many more Disney DVD's are going to have this problem and why is this a problem.I am not pleased about this at all.
