Rating: Summary: Works great! Review: I just plugged this up yesterday and it works fine. I had it up and running in 15 min, with my digital ready receiver. The 5.1 sounds great and the picture is good. I would say for the price this is a good deal. It also has a nice icon menu on the onscreen display. If your looking for a basic DVD player with a few extras, I would recommend. You could always give it to the kids later, when you decide to upgrade.
Rating: Summary: You get what you pay for... Review: This DVD player was not worth the money, it was returned the same day I got it! The digital out was not in its 'normal' form and it had typos in the menus. As soon as I put a DVD in, it flickered for awhile before the DVD started playing. I was not impressed by the quality of the workmanship or the quality of the player. I suppose if you want a DVD player to just play DVD's, this is for you. If you actually want to get use out of the great quality that DVD's have to offer, I suggest spending a little more money and go with a brand you trust.
Rating: Summary: You get what you pay for... Review: This is a cheap unit and it behaves that way. I've had trouble with the audio when trying to output DTS. The audio was cutting in and out frequently. The menu system is also clunky on this model. I upgraded to a Pioneer DVD-434. What a different. Spend the money for a nicer player is my suggestion to you.
Rating: Summary: Oritron DVD player Review: I think that this product is awesome! It never freezes or skips, and the sound is great, with the DTS! I was first infulenced by a friend saying, "You going to have to pay a lot to get a lot." I thought, "Well I'll get it and see if it's good." And was I suprised! The sound, the picture! I plan to buy another for my house, and a sound system to accompany this bad boy! So want if it dosen't play CD-R's? A DVD player is a DVD player, people don't buy these things to play CD's in them; they want good sounding, great picture DVD technology. So if you want a great DVD player at a great price, then this is what you want!
Rating: Summary: Horrible DVD Quality / Riddled with problems Review: I have had this dvd player for approximately 2 years and have had nothing but trouble. First of all, it doesn't effectively play mp3 cd's. Secondly, a few months ago, my sound quit working right through my receiver, you couldn't hear any voices (although you could hear the background music way too well). Then, my video wasn't working and all I got was black and white video, but then the sound worked fine. Now, neither sound nor video work. Ok, so I got this wonderful idea to call Tech Support. All the guy there did was repeat the same 5-step routine with me for 20 minutes. By the way, tech support is really located in Hong Kong (Oritron is not a US brand). Overall, I would not recommend this dvd player to anyone.
Rating: Summary: A Good DVD Player,but has some flaws. Review: This is the first DVD player I ever bought cause at the time it was only $99.It plays well enough but occasionally even if the DVD is new and has no scratches,the DVD will suddenly become like a cheap Japanese movie.The soundtrack is playing while the lips of the characters are off.But for someone who owns this,if you have that problem,simply press "Menu" and then press play once back at the main menu.The film should resume and the problem shall be gone. The bookmark on the player is good,
when you save an entry it stays there unlike some more expensive models.Anyways if you need an exceptional DVD player for a cheap price,get this.
Rating: Summary: Horrible DVD Quality / Riddled with problems Review: This is easily the worst product that I've ever purchased on Amazon.com. Unfortunately, I did not carefully read the other customer reviews. Why is this the worst product I've every purchased? Let me count the ways. This unit came with a defective remote control. It only worked when used within three feet of the unit. That really defeats the purpose of the remote, in my humble opinion. Next, the unit stopped working three to four months after purchase. Why? I don't know. It no longer reads DVDs nor CDs. There is no real reason why it no longer works . . . I didn't drop it, store it inproperly, allow it to over heat, use it too often, or allowed it to be affected by power surges. Effectively, I through $84.99 down the drain. (Well, I guess I did get a couple of months enjoyment). Additionally, the unit does not read CD-Rs, which is annoying. Moreover, this unit does not have any additional features like a timer . . . the onscreen display is really a joke. Its terrible. The unit is of such poor construction and quality that you are really taking a gamble when purchasing. If you happen to purchase a unit that is fully functioning, then congrats . . . you won the gamble and purchased an operational DVD player for a great price. If you purchase one like mine, too bad, neither Oritron nor Amazon.com will listen to you wine about it. =( Buyer beware!
Rating: Summary: do not buy this - horrible (I'd give it 0 stars if I could) Review: 5 stars for a cheapo dvd player? Well, it would be if it didn't rarely overheat. For a cheap-o, this machine is great. Search the web to really unlock this machines secret powers. This is not a DVD player for someone with a massive home theatre - it's missing many advanced features. It's great for occasional use and even low and mid-range theatres. It's international features make it a great secondary player even for big theatres too.
