Summary: Zenith DVD2200
Review: (The one star is misleading: I tried to score it with zero stars, but the system wouldn't permit it.) The DVD was defective. Save yourself some time and aggravation and give this DVD2200 a miss.

Summary: Check manufacturing date?
Review: After reading the other reviews, I thought I would share my experiences with the Zenith 2200. I bought mine at a local retailer in June of 99. On those movies that played, picture quality with s-video cable was a knockout, and the sound coupled with a sony pro-logic reciever + 5 speakers is superb. This unit sold me on DVD forever. My VHS has cobwebs over the play button. The problem that I experienced with this player is that an average of one in 3 disks would freeze at some point in the last third of the movie. Sometimes I could skip ahead, then back and continue viewing, but more often, I would miss several chapters or the ending entirely. Also, the "Matrix" bug got me with this Player. I also experienced similar problems with "The Wild Wild West". I am hoping that this unit was of early manufacture, and that Zenith has erradicated some or all of these problems. I have finally said goodbye to my Zenith, and am probably going to buy one of the new Sony units. Im tired of missing the end of the show. My recomendation....Save a lot of frustration instead of a few bucks. Pass this player up.

Summary: Never mind...
Review: After singing the praises of this player I ran into problemswith my next couple pf DVDs. The Abyss continually skipped chapterseven though it played straight through in slow mode. I also had problems with other discs. I could not get tech support since they were closed. Rather than wait-and based on other reviews here, I returned the unit and bought the Philips. I tested ALL my DVDs on it and it works flawlessly. I think that if Zenith fixes a few things they could have a fine DVD player.

Summary: So Far So Good
Review: At first I was reluctant to purchase this product, but I have a Zenith TV which has worked without a glitch for 3 years so I took the plunge into the digital age. The value for the money is great. I have watched many movies on this unit and have had no problems so far. My unit is actually the DVC2200, which is a newer version of this product. I have a receiver that is nearly 10 years old and speakers nearly 20 years old and have noticed a great improvement in sound quality. I can't wait to upgrade these so that I can get a true "home theater" experience! Very pleased so far and would recommend to anyone on a budget.

Summary: Good....but has this problem......
Review: BE WARNED! ! ! Like some of the other reviews, I too knew something was wrong. I bought several new DVD's (Matrix, 13th Floor, You Got Mail,etc.) and they wouldn't work, older ones work fine, then found out it's the player. VERY ANNOYING! BUT....I do like the features, being able to change screen size & audio while movies are playing, being able mark up to 6 different spots to replay, fast forward doesn't "skip" through, all on the user friendly remote. These things aren't as good or friendly on my Toshiba SD-3109, that I got to repalce the Zenith. But the Toshiba plays all DVD's......so I kept both.

Summary: You get what you pay for
Review: Contrary to previous reviews, this player (mine was produced in June 99) will play the movie "The Matrix," although I have experienced mild skipping in scenes with high action. Bottom line is you most always get what you pay for. I give it a generous three stars based on it's price.

Summary: An Excellent Player/BEWARE OF NOTHING EXCEPT A TRUE BARGAIN
Review: I have been a long time collector and videophile of laserdiscs, etc. This is my first DVD player purchase and there is absolutely nothing wrong with the unit. The picture is crisp and sound is wonderful! This is an absolute bargain and it is NOT evident in the player quality. With regard to the "Matrix" DVD, several player models were reported as having read trouble due to the poor pressing of the DVD. It is NOT isolated to this unit. I had NO problem playing any DVDs on this unit.

Summary: Good buy and value for the price!!!
Review: I just bought this DVD player. No problems whatsoever,3D surround sounds works great with my Sony TV. What I liked about this DVD player is that it comes with all the bells & whistles as well as all the required accessories inlcuding the batteries for the remote !! I recommend this as for the first time buyers and someone who doesn't want to spend a tons on a fancy DVD player :-)

Summary: I love the DVD
Review: I love the DVD, especially when you have the choice of the letterbox or formatted version and you NEVER have to rewind! (LOL! ) Wish all movies were on DVD, but from what I've been reading, soon they all will! Tapes will eventually be a thing of the past and not soon enough for me!

Summary: Zenith DVD-Player DVD2200 - BE WARNED!
Review: I purchased player 6/30/99. It's assembly date states April 1999. I now come to find out player will not play newer and some future DVD movie releases. Zenith is aware of problem but is unwilling to recall. E,G,. The Sci-Fi Movie "MATRIX" cannot be played in this machine. Per retailer (where purchased) other movie titles are likely to have same problem. Zenith using old LASER Tecnology and is unwilling to correct problem, even on new purchases. BE WARNED! DO NOT PURCHASE!
