Summary: NOT a bargain
Review: Don't be tempted by the price ...since within 6 months I had to buy a replacement for it. This DVD player is of very poor quality, even for a low priced unit. It skips and freezes, the picture is poor, the sound is poor, it is difficult to hook up, especially if you also have a VCR hooked up to the same TV, it responds slowly, if at all, to remote commands, it is just plain buggy....and then it just quits. Oritron does not stand behind their product (for obvious reasons) and offered no help (once I reached anyone). A HUGE waste of time, effort, money and stomach lining. ...

Summary: Steer clear
Review: Got this player as a gift a year ago. I've had freezing problems with this player, sometimes from slightly scratched rental DVDs (which play fine in any other player), and the whole unit locks up (sometimes with garbage displayed on the LED display). When this happens you need to pull the plug, as the power button both on the remote and on the unit itself becomes nonresponsive. Have also had some problems navigating the menus on some discs ("From Hell" comes to mind.) This player also has problems playing DVD-R discs -- I have had it play RITEKG04 discs fine but sometimes it will freeze or pixellate during playback of DVD-R. Had no luck at all with cheaper Princo or BeAll blanks. Haven't tried DVD+R, it may work better. If you want to use this player as an audio CD player, note that it doesn't play CD-R at all.

Summary: DON'T BUY THIS ITEM!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: I bought the Oritron DVD-100 and it broke a week after the 90 day warranty was up. I tried to find a website for Oritron - there is none. In looking however I came upon a customer survey website... which had many reviews of the Oritron DVD-100 - 99% were negative. Check this site out for yourself before buying. I had difficulty opening the tray from day one, but I was able to pry it open after a while. It continued to give me difficulty. And then literally the week after the warranty was up the audio stopped working. Usually the price is better than Amazon is selling it for so it looks like a good buy, but it isn't. Also, they have now started selling the same product under the brand name Qwestar. I would look out for that as well...Do yourself a favor, wait a little longer, save the extra [money] or whatever it takes to buy a different brand.

Summary: AVOID AT ALL COST
Review: I bought this unit as a first time, inexperienced buyer. While it worked well 3-4 times, it stopped working. I have now gone through 5 units in ten months. I bit the bullet and bought the Sony NS300. Only a few bucks more, better picture and sound, and it works. Just my opinion.

Summary: Not Very Good
Review: I got this DVD player as a gift. I have had problems since it came out of the box. No ever owning a DVD player before I thought this was normal. I have come to find out it has a defect and does not cooperate most of the time. I have talked to the company and since my player was already a year old I could not get a free replacement. I only have known it was defective when they told me it was. I dont really think this is fair since their product is guaranteed. Here are a list of problems I have had:1. No Sound: instead of playing the sound of movies or CD's it makes a popping noise 2. Song Skips: While trying to play a CD in it's entirety instead of going through everything it will skip 2 to 3 track in the playlist for no reason. 3. Picture or menu Freeze-Ups: This is the weirdest of them all. When accessing movies with interactive or motion menus before i can make my selection the screen will freeze up and sound will stop and then i must unplug the whole unit causing trouble and a headache. 4. Music CD speed up: This problem seems to happen a lot too. When i play a CD even scratch free ones it will speed up and make a weird skip sound. All in all this unit is confusing and uncoopertive almost all the time. it is pretty much a waste of money seeing as you have to find out whats wrong all the time. If you have the same problems i feel for you.

Review: I got this DVD player for a gift. I played 3 movies on it. The picture quality was poor, the directions to use it were poor, and now it doesn't work at all! It won't even open to put a DVD in it. This DVD Player is a real junk, don't buy anything with this name on it!

Review: I have owned my oritron dvd100 for approx. 18 months, and overall, I would say it has served me quite well. It has had many problems, but none that rebooting it didn't fix. The only major gripe I have with this product is that it will not play vcds. There is a way to "enable vcd playback" in the menus by hitting a special combination of buttons on the remote [...] but I still have had no luck with it. The other major issue I have is not with my oritron, but with the one my sister bought, it worked for about a month and then stopped, and nothing seems to make it work again, it won't even eject anymore. So all in all, I would have to say be careful with the oritron brand, make sure you can return it if it doesn't work right off the bat.

Summary: Do not buy
Review: I have used this DVD player maybe 15 times, and now it does not play DVDs. I received this as a gift, so luckily I did not pay for it. This is by far the worst piece of electronic equipment ever.
