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

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: the world is not enough
Review: The graphics were great and my family loved it. The sound was incredible. It was the best dvd players I have ever used.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: let's just call it skippy
Review: The picture and on-line menu features are great but it skipped so much I had to return it in 3 weeks. It actually skipped 10 minute segments of the movie. At first I thought it was a bad scene transition in the movie. The only way I could see some of the missed scenes is by rewinding over the skipped section.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A great buy!
Review: The Samsung DVD511 DVD Player is a great product. When I first purchesed this DVD player I had heard things about inexpensive DVD players that werent exactly good. People had said that if you tried to watch action movies (which I love) that the DVD whould stick or skip. I have had this DVD player for over 3 months and it has given me no problems. This DVD player is a great deal for the price it cost.

Summary: The Samsung DVD511: Packs A Punch At A Great Price!
Review: The Samsung DVD511 is a great DVD player for the movie fanatic on a budget. The picture and sound quality are great(much better than VHS). I've had mine for over a month now and its hard to go back to VHS(James Bond is so much better in DVD). The machine has skipped while playing dics a few times but its the dics themselves that cause this(mostly from dirt and lint on the playing surface). Although the DVD511 doesn't have Component Video outputs and a coaxal audio output(more expensive models have these of course)it still has optical output(for DTS and Dolby Digital recievers)plus S-video and RCA type audio/video outputs.

If you're not on a tight budget then go for something more expensive like the Toshiba SD-1600 DVD-Video Player(another great DVD player!), but if you like me are on a tight budget and want to get into the exciting world of DVD then the Samsumg DVD511 DVD-video player demands your attention!

Summary: Skips a lot
Review: The video and sound quality are good. The occational skipping didn't bother me at first but after a few weeks of that it gets on your nerves. When it plain stopped right in the middle of a movie and said it couldn't read the DVD any more (brand new Toy Story DVD on it's third play) that was it. I'm sending it back. It's not that good of a value.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Not really worth buying.
Review: This DVD player claims to be able to play VCDs (Video CDs), but it does not support CDRs, and so that feature is relatively worthless.

My main problem with this DVD player is that at least once in every movie, I notice some kind of glitch. The more common glitch is just skipped frames or a quick frame pause. The other glitch (which is much more annoying) is random colored pixels dumped all over the screen.

This player is cheap, but you really get what you pay for. Spend the extra (money) and get a real player.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great entry level player
Review: This DVD player is a great entry level model. Although it does not have all the stereo or video options a higher end player would have, this plays dvd's and cd's just fine. I did not have any of the technical problems other users have had, and was pleased with zoom and frame advance features.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Perfect DVD player
Review: This is the perfect DVD player for someone who is not sure if they should buy a DVD player, or first time buyers. It is economical, easy to install and no complicated menus. The picture quality is great, it is definitively worth every little penny! This DVD is actually a steal! I compared it to other several more expensive DVD players and the picture quality was the same.
