Rating: Summary: INEXPENSIVE AND WELL WORKING Review: It's probably the cheapest DVD player available (in Italy, at least), with a lot of interesting features. It is set to play all DVDs (from all over the world), music CDs, video CDs and MP3 files. Really cool and highly recommended!
Rating: Summary: Daewoo did for us in the US Review: I ordered this player for our daughter who is living/studying/working in Providence, we are at home in England. The attraction was the price and all functionality, particularly that it will (when set up via the remote) play multi-region, and it will play PAL&NTSC formats. No problem with the set up, excellent picture via a 27" Philips TV. It does everything it says on the box. She took a whole bunch of 'English' DVD's back with her after Christmas, and they all play. Great price, great machine. We will all be watching something on it in February when we visit with our daughter. Buy one - you know it makes sense!
Rating: Summary: A dud? Yup. Review: I bought two of these babies for Christmas gifts. Only one worked. The other one made weird noises and wouldn't play a thing. I'm trying to return it right now, but they're "out of stock" on replacements.Not a valid statistical sampling, but that's what happened to me.
Rating: Summary: We sent it back Review: This DVD player has slightly worse picture quality than a cheap VCR. The picture was fuzzy and the color was off. There is no way to adjust the color and human faces had a greenish glow that isn't incredibly realistic. One of the DVDs that we tried skipped and stuck often. The sound quality, also, wasn't up to par. We tested it side by side with our other DVD player and there was no comparison to the life-like, skip-free Genica which is not an expensive player. We sent it back and are still waiting for a refund.
Rating: Summary: Poor Quality Control Review: Unit has good features, but manufacturers quality control is poor. Some buyers rave about this DVD, while others, like me, had to send it back because it will not operate properly. My unit "locked up", a problem that apparently is common with this product. I rate this "junk".
Rating: Summary: Great player with some "hidden" options Review: This is a great player. I've used it for DVDs, MP3 CDs, and videodiscs. My only complaint is that it's pretty noisy - you can really hear the discs spinning in it. Once you get into the movie or the music, though, it's not really noticeable. My wife doesn't like the color, but I guess it's also supposed to be available in black. The really neat thing about this player is that you can upgrade the firmware to let you get into the "factory settings" menu and change the region code and turn off macrovision.
Rating: Summary: Was worried, but...... Review: After ordering this unit mid November, I read several disparaging reviews about this product and worried that I had made the "wrong" choice for my husband's Christmas gift. While he was impressed upon opening it (I was successful for once in the element of surprise!), I breathed a HUGE sigh of relief when it was hooked up and working flawlessly in less than 10 minutes. Since then we have enjoyed many hours of DVD heaven, although I've discovered my family has a strange fascination with the foreign language subtitles and overdubbing feature on most of the DVDs I've purchased. This is a good unit at a great price!
Rating: Summary: Shrek in black and white? Review: The player displayed no color (black and white only) when it arrived. Apparently that is a common problem with this particular model. I checked several support options, including the vendor's web site, other web sites, and the newsgroups; the only given solution was to switch from PAL to NTSC, perhaps toggling a few times. This did not cure the problem, and therefore the player was promptly returned.
Rating: Summary: Defines "You Get What You Pay For" Review: This unit defines the, "You get what you pay for," philosophy. I purchased this player as a second unit for a bedroom but have been unable to view more than 45 minutes of any DVD before it freezes up and can not be recovered other than powering off the unit and powering back on. Sometimes picture and sound would be completely lost and no response to controls would work. Other times picture would vanish leaving audio playback only. A great lesson in consumer spending to be learned here. ... it looks great though. Just don't turn it on.
Rating: Summary: For the price - no better Review: I realize most people don't rate something unless it's bad - Well, I see a few bad ones on this unit and I had to say the one I bought works great! Plays whatever you put in there and well. No skips, lock ups, etc. Recommend to all....
