Don't buy this if you need a multiregion DVD player
Although this DVD player came up in a search for multiregion DVD players, it only supports Region 1 DVDs. I cannot comment on the performance of this DVD player; my rating of one star is only because it supports only Region 1 DVDs when Amazon's search billed it as a multiregion DVD player.
Great for the price
On the plus side, this unit will play [almost] anything you ask it to. On the minus side, it lacks a lot of functionality that might come with a more expensive machine. Most frustrating - it goes to standby after 10-15 minutes of being paused and doesn't hold memory of where you stopped watching so you have to find where you left off manually. Also, upon power-up it insists on loading the disk in the drive before it will allow you to open the tray to replace it with another one, leading to silly delays.
It might be a little rinky-dink, but for the price it is acceptable.
Great buy if you're desperate for overseas dvds
I just received the player today. The remote is crappy, as so many others have indicated, so it took me about 3 tries to get it coded region free as one of the reviewers has previously set forth. I put in my Region 3 dvd of L'Arc~en~Ciel Chronicles from Japan, and I'm now jumping for absolute joy! The picture is clear and looks like HD on my non-HDtv. It's a great buy. I just wish that I had waited to purchase. It has gone down a few bucks since my purchase on Friday.
DVD Player
For the price, this DVD player is compact and produces a good quality picture and sound.
Good purchase
This DVD player is as described. Plays everything, but is very slow to response and with a lousy remote control. But I knew it in advance from other people's reviews, so I don't complain. I think it is a very good purchase for the money.
