Rating: Summary: Risky Gamble Review: After waiting 8 days for this DVD player to arrive, I was extremely upset to find that it didn't work. After plugging it in and inserting a DVD, none of the buttons on the right side of the player responded (play, stop, eject, etc.). I had played this same DVD earlier at work so I knew it wasn't the disc. After messing around with it for an hour and half, I finally got the DVD out. I returned this one and bought an APEX that was the same price. It felt way more sturdy than the Daewoo and works like a champ. I think it's luck of the dice whether you get a working one or a lemon. I read the positive reviews some people wrote and decided to take the gamble. I wish I hadn't. It's going to take at least 2 weeks to get my account credited, not to mention the hassle of shipping it back. I wouldn't buy this one unless you're the kind of person who finds money on the street all the time.
Rating: Summary: Availability Review: Umm...just ordered it. Haven't recieved it yet. Don't let the "Availability: 2-3 days" fool ya. It's actually 2-3 weeks.
Rating: Summary: It's like a Japanese horror flick.... Review: the Koreans are taking over! This is my 2nd Korean-made unit, and there are almost no drawbacks It works as well as the technology itself (DVD players are not going to vary much in the quality of the image you see), and has enough features to make most anyone happy. Connections for home theater are plentiful, a headphone jack is a pleasant extra, and the control unit is simple and accurate. Did I mention the price? Not too shabby!
Rating: Summary: Garbage Review: I am extremely dissapointed w/ the performance of this dvd player. I can't even begin to tell you how poor the image quality on this receiver really is. I have tried playing three different movies and none have played correctly. After every two or three seconds of play you will see either the screen flicker or small pauses in the video sequence. Oh yeah, one more thing. Even if you can put up w/ the flickering and the pauses in play, you cannot scroll through the different movie chapters too much without freezing the player. I am not exaggerating when I say that the image quality on my 70 dollar vcr far outperforms the video quality on this dvd player.
Rating: Summary: Great for video downloaders. Review: I have heard nothing but good about this DVD player. It plays all standard DVD great. First it plays all 6 DVD regions even with RCE. It can be switched to play NTSC or Pal. It plays all video standards. VCD, XVCD, SVCD, XSVCD, MiniDVD, DVDc, DVD-R, DVD-RW, and DVD+RW. And don't forget Mp3s. (thx vcdhelp.com for that info) I have a collection of videos I have download of the net and can what to get this DVD player to watch them with. I have heard nothing but good about this player.
Rating: Summary: GREAT DVD PLAYER Review: This is a great DVD player, and I CAN'T BELIEVE THE PRICE I BOUGHT IT AT! It has great picture quality, sound, EVERYTHING! I gotta watch some more dvd's now!
Rating: Summary: a great value Review: I purchased one of these Daewoo dvd players a while back, and I'm going to buy another one because I gave my first to my brother. This player is a great value, and it works perfectly. I honestly can't tell the difference between this and the much more expensive Toshiba dvd player my parents have. The color (silver) is also very cool.
Rating: Summary: Unbeatable at the price Review: You can't beat the price on this player, but it's not the highest quality in the world. My other DVD player is a Sony that has always worked flawlessly. While the picture and sound on this Daewoo have been fine, it does have a few flaws. When I first start a disc playing, the subtitles are always on. There is no soft power off, the only way to turn off the player is to push the giant power button. The motor itself is very loud and continues to run after you've stopped the disc, which makes me uncomfortable NOT turning it off. And we've experienced periodic lockups where the picture just stops moving and the player won't respond to any buttons being pushed...we have to turn it off and back on to get it to recover. None of these are giant problems, though, and I think this player is a good choice if you're on a slim budget.
Rating: Summary: Great for the money, but some flaws Review: I bought this DVD player for my boyfriend for Christmas. For the price, it's a real bargain, especially with the huge list of features this player offers. I also liked the silver color, which is a bit different than the usual black DVD players you usually see. The zoom and slow motion features were great, especially when watching Rocky. The only thing that was wrong with our machine (I'm not sure if anyone else experienced this problem) is that almost every time we put on a movie, the subtitles will automatically come on. I'd then go to the menu, shut them off, and then return to the movie. The subtitles don't appear for half a minute but then return. It takes about 5 tries before the glitch finally stops. But overall, the DVD player is worth the money, has a sleek design, and has been more than what we could ask for.
