Rating: Summary: Can't Beat the Price Review: The only thing I can give as a criticism is that everytime I start a movie I have to turn off the subtitles/ and it has no ON/OFF switch on the remote. But it plays beautifully and you can get the region changer info off the net. It was worth it just for me being able to see the uncut version of eyes wide shut from europe/ and all the alternate european versions of films released here in the us..
Rating: Summary: one minor detail left out... Review: The set up is fairly intuitive, which is nice since the directions are a bit scant. One minor little detail the instructions left out was that the TV must be on channel "aux" or "ext" for the video to be seen. For newbies like myself - this can make for an anxious few minutes (or hours), vainly flipping through all the televisions channels until the magic one is hit upon.The only other problem I had was prying open the battery cover for the remote, but aside from that I am quite happy with my Daewoo.
Rating: Summary: A Good Product Review: Daewoo DVG-3000N DVD works quite well for under $[money]. And though I haven't tried all the features I am happy with the DVD playing. It plays forward and backwards in increments of 2x up to 32x. The only drawbacks are the audio/video hookups aren't much longer than noodles and the remote has a limited range not accessible from anywhere in the room as I would like. This should be great for students who just rent DVDs and live in cramped spaces.
Rating: Summary: Daewoo Color unacceptable Review: Just letting you all know that my unit was shipped defective. The color/contrast cycled from dim/no color to bright/overexposed color. thios happened every 10 seconds. I also had problems with the subtitles appearing everytime I used features that had nothing to do with subtitles. I had turned off the subtitles in the setup page, but they still appeared. Wierd. I can't recommend this product and have asked for a refund. I guess I'll go with Sony for a few bucks more.
Rating: Summary: Arrived DOA. Review: I purchased this unit and could never get it to function. I do not recommend it.
Rating: Summary: Big value....small price Review: This unit has disc read capabilities not claimed in the sales literature. It reads CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD-RW, SVCD and I am told it will read (X)SVCD though I haven't tried it yet. For the price you can't buy a better unit. It is a little plain looking, modest fluorescent display, and a VERY inexpensive remote control. With video standards changing frequently it gives me a low cost toy until all the issues with varying disk formats/algotithms are settled and established. Then I will replace them with more deluxe players.
Rating: Summary: Watch out for condensation Review: When I first hooked this up it would freeze and lock up. However if you leave it on for a couple of hours with the drawer open it has time to warm up to room temperature and evaporate any condensation. Then it works perfectly!!! I was able to play disks that made my old Sony machine lock. I was also able to switch and play region 2 disks...For the price this machine is a real bargain....Just let it warm up before you give up on it.
Rating: Summary: Absolutely amazing for the price Review: I replaced my old Apex AD-600A with the Daewoo DVG-3000N and I couldn't be happier with my purchase so far. This machine does everything my Apex did (it can still be region-modified fairly easily), including playing MP3's, VCD's, Super VCD's, DVD's, CDR's, and even CDRW's, and it does so with a lot more polish and finesse. The picture quality is excellent given the price and beats the pants off my old Apex - I threw in several test discs that had given me picture problems on other players (including The Matrix, with all its dark background compression artifacts) and the DVG-3000N played them beautifully. The MP3 interface is also more functional than most I've seen, and the fact that it plays MP3's from CDRW's (as opposed to just CDR's) is a real bonus - this player is not picky at all and will play almost anything you throw at it. Plus, it just looks and feels fabulous - even the buttons have a nice, heavy "click" to them that seems of a higher standard than the player's low price tag should allow. Don't misunderstand - this is not a high-end DVD player - but it's surprising how good it is for what you're paying. The only drawbacks of any kind are with the remote - the range and line of sight both seem pretty limited, and as others have mentioned, there's no soft power button. Also, if you want component outputs you'll want to upgrade to one of Daewoo's higher models (which are still very inexpensive), as this one tops out with s-video. Still, these are very minor complaints, and neither I nor most people out there have better than s-video at this point so that's not even really a complaint at all. If you're on a budget and looking for the best DVD player for the price, this is really a steal.
Rating: Summary: great Review: my father had bought this dvd player a few days ago. we hooked it up onto the tv in the living room and we had problems, the picture would get bright then darker(red tint etc) then it would flicker the top part of the picture. we tried a few different things and it didnt help. i decided to hook the dvd player up to my tv in my room and it works really great, the picture is such great quality and i havent had any problems with it at all. it really is a great player as long as its going to work right with your tv. plays audio cds, etc. just fine as well.
Rating: Summary: Nice price - nice looking Review: Forgot one thing - only a single audio output on the back. I had to split the signal to go to my TV and stereo. I know I live in the dark ages where my stereo is not plugged into my TV but if you don't want to part with a good quality, older hi-fi system, you need to know this stuff!
