Rating: Summary: Do Not buy Review: The operations that do work are extremely slow. Not sure if the remote doesn't work or if so much time passes between pressing a button and the action that I've gone on to something else.Won't read dvd +R discs even though they are the recommended Verbatim brand. GoVideo customer service insisted I had bad discs and even talked me into swapping the discs out at Office Depot despite the fact that I've purchased hundreds of discs and not yet had a "bad disc" yet. After the unit failed to read the new discs, they told me to swap the unit out and that "yes maybe the constant disc skipping during playback had something to do with the problem". 2nd unit even slower, disc drawer sounded like a rusty screen door when closing, machine audibly hick upped while playing a disk and skipped worse than the first unit... oh, and still won't read DVD+R discs on which it supposed to write thus it's name "DVD Burner"... puzzled how this product got off the development line and into stores. Do not buy this product. It's almost comical, except it cost $300 +!
Rating: Summary: this is the second one in a year! Review: the quality was good when working. i have purchased two in the last year,dummy me.the first one they had me convinced that i had mishandled it and that was the reason that it was locking up.so dummy me bought a second one and it is doing the same thing!imagine that!i called customer support they will repair it for 69.95plus shipping and handling geez i only paid 70.00dollars for it.stay away from this unit!it is a throw-away unit.with zero customer support,will fix it for what you paid for it.take it from somebody who knows,two units 70.00+ 70.00+25.00dollars for a cleaner.so i guess i'm out 165.00 dollars and still no dvd.i guess you learn from your mistakes and i did.please do not buy.maybe they will get this garbage off the shelves.product has a 30 day warranty , the first one lasted 45days.
Rating: Summary: Don't be fooled by the pretty cover Review: This is a good-looking DVD player. The price has gone down a little now, but when I purchased mine, it was much higher. So, it might be worth it now, but I doubt it. After owning mine for about the first six months, it started doing odd things when playing the discs like the picture would freeze up momentarily, or the disc wouldn't load the first time, it would be difficult to start from a scene further in the movie, etc.... I figured it needed to be cleaned so I bought the recommened cleaning kit for it, cleaned it and cleaned my discs. Now it has been a year and the problem has gotten so bad with it now that it plays half of the movie and then locks up. When I try to load the disc the second time, it won't even load. Since it only had a year warranty on it, I guess I'm pretty much out on this one. I highly recommend not to purchase this product or this brand, especially if you plan on keeping your player around for a while and not feeling like you got the short end of the stick. I should have spent [money amount] more and purchased a Sony. I'm going back to the store, but I'm not coming home with a GoVideo product. :(
