Buyer's review: - Good for the Price
While you won't find a lot of the top-of-the-line features you'll find in more expensive players, the playback is good and the on-screen menus are intuitive. The lack of S-Video out and 5.1 out means you'll have to upgrade if you want better picture or enter the world of surround sound, but if you want a barebones DVD player for watching DVD's, or a cheap 2nd player for the kids or bedroom, this one will do the trick.

Buyer's review: - Bummer!
This DVD player worked great--for three days. It's going to be very difficult if not impossible to get it serviced. I feel bad because the kids were so psyched about it.

Buyer's review: - Not so great first DVD player
I bought this DVD player for my parents. We set it up in about 5 minutes, through their VCR, and it worked great. My folks had no trouble using the remote or navigating through the menus. The picture and sound were fine, and we played several movies with no problems. It's not a fancy model, but it does the basic job of showing movies-which is what I bought it for. I would recommend it as a first DVD player.

Update: One year later- this DVD player had broken and they replaced it with a more expensive brand name. I would not recommend this DVD player anymore.

Buyer's review: - Good for the Money
I bought a DVD600 when I saw the price. Finally the prices for DVD players are starting to come down. In playing with it, I found that it is a cheap player, it does not work well running through another component (like a VCR) - when connected directly to my TV, it's great. It does not have 5.1 audio out's. If you want an affordable, entry level or second DVD player, the DVD600 is for you - when connected carefully, the video and audio quality is great. If you want more - spend more.

Buyer's review: - If you need...
...a DVD player and are on a tight budget, then this is the way to go. The MP3 playing feature is very nice, as mostDVD players (even the more expensive ones) don't have it, and it costs $100 just to get a portable MP3-on-a-CD-disk player.

The picture quality is definitely adequate and the sound is, too. It of course is going to lack some of the niceties that other DVD players have, and doesn't look quite as durable, either.

The bottom line is if you can't afford to purhcase a more expensive player that will last awhile, then I would spend the extra [money] to do so. Otherwise, a great choice for being a budget.
