Samsung DVD511 DVD Player

Summary: problems too
Review: I too have had problems with the DVD-511. I have noticed it skipping at least once during each and every movie that I have played, sometimes worse than others. Other than that, it is a great machine. I am planning to take it back to the store I got it at and try another unit of the same model. If that doesn't make a difference, I will be getting an entirely different model.

Summary: skip-tastic
Review: I've had this DVD player for more than a year now. So far, I've been pretty happy with it as far as its features and etc. for its price range. But it still doesn't make up for all the skipping that it likes to do - with old and BRAND NEW DVDs!!! Sometimes it works perfectly and sometimes it would just skip around for no apparent reason. I'm yet to figure out why. I'm going to replace this with a PS2. This model was one of Samsung's earliest DVD players and that might be why it skips so much. Maybe there was some bug that they hadn't taken care of. Normally I'm extremely happy with Samsung's products but this one surely changed my mind about Samsung. If you're considering a budget DVD player with a choke full of features, you can't beat this one - if you can stand all the skipping, that is. For the love of God, don't buy this model.

Summary: Brokenhearted
Review: It's really quite simple. Don't waste your time, energy or emotional distress on this player. This was my first experience with a DVD player. God, I hope it gets better than this. It will not play. Brand new disks, proper hook up, and absolutely NO SUPPORT!!! I bought this thinking that a product with a warranty of a year instead of 90 days must be a better product. So much for that theory.

Summary: STAY AWAY!
Review: JUST STAY AWAY OF IT! DVD511 IS GREAT ON THE FIRST HALF OF MOVIES BUT AFTER A 1 OR 1,5 HOURS LATER IT ALWAYS SKIPS AND FREEZES! I SENT IT 4-5 TIMES BACK AND SPEND [$$$] TO FIX BUT THEY COULDN'T!!! THIS WAS MY FIRST SAMSUNG PRODUCT AND NOW I HATE SAMSUNG! BELIEVE ME; FOREVER "SONY"!

Summary: Wonderful for the bucks!
Review: No, I'm not rich by any means and considering this is my first DVD player purchase, I have to say that I ADORE IT!!!! The picture is mega impressive as well as the sound (we hooked it to our sound system and it blasts me everytime!!) plus I really am enjoying learning all the features it has with it. I really was only expecting a system that maybe skipped (from other reviews) and was slower than molasses and am tickled pink with what I've gotten, especially for the price!

Summary: """ SOLUTION FOR FREEZING and SKIPPING PROBLEMS """
Review: Only solution for skipping and freezing is to be change "board"! I don't know what it is and is it something like the mainboards in computers but the technical service of Samsung told me that they changed it and now it is "perfect"!

Summary: Very Disappointed
Review: Samsung receives low marks for quality on this product. The first one I received was defective- the DVD tray would not open. The replacement I received squeals during DVD operation. Although this was a low end purchase, I expected minimal standards to be met. Also the remote design is not particular user friendly- 2 stars is generous
