Summary: Blood pressure raiser!
Review: This item was a gift from my children. We were excited about our future home movie watching. Big disappointment! As this was our first home DVD we first thought all the jumps, skips and freezes were because of dust or other on rented DVDs. Not so. Whenever we play a DVD it always takes at least 1/3 longer than the mond where we were frozen out. Not to mention all the heart stoppages when it stops for a second or two in the action.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Many problems
Review: This model was unable to read and DVDs or CDs after being on for about 10 minutes. I have exchanged it and every one has done the same thing. I bought it at a Best Buy and they said many people had problems with this model for this reason as well as it not being able to play MP3 files (one of it's key features). Even in the manual, it says it can't read CD-R disks which would make it tough to play MP3s

Summary: DEFECTIVE!!!!
Review: This very model of DVD player belongs to my roommate. It skips and freezes often, even on brand new DVDs. Sometimes, after removing a DVD from it, I noticed how hot the disc and player were. Of what I do know of electronics, I know that much heat should not be coming from a device that has only one small moving component.
Having searched the web for possible solutions to this problem, I have come upon this page and have seen the exact same complaints from other people who have this player. This can only lead me to believe that the entire model is defective and should not be purchased.
Please avoid the hassle of this poorly designed piece of machinery. Other DVD players may be more expensive, but at least they work.

Summary: My parents love it!
Review: This was a Christmas gift for my parents. My only complaint was that the instructions on how to set it up weren't as clear as we (the electronically handicapped) would have preferred. However after consulting my brother-in-law we got it to work. The picture and sound were great and now my parents go DVD shopping at least once a week.

And I have yet to buy MYSELF a DVD player....

Summary: Returned it.
Review: Worked great for one movie, started skipping during the second one. Not really badly...but bad enough (about 10 times). Took it back and got a higher rated player. It does have a cool zoom feature not found on other cheap players, but that doesn't make up for the skipping.
