Buyer's review: - Still working for me...
About a year ago, I felt it was time for me to upgrade to DVD's(finally) but I still couldn't afford those high-end players so I settled for this one. A year later and not only is it still working fine, but until this one breaks I don't even feel the urge to buy a new one. From personal experience only, I haven't run into any problems with my player(ok, except to figure out how to use the parental control option...but that's either my fault or the manuals, not the player itself) and factoring price and functionality(needs direct hook up with tv, picture is terrible running through your vcr), am very satisfied with it. Only sore point is it doesn't play VCD's(but it doesn't say it will either). I feel badly for other reviewers who have had problems with it and in their cases, I'm sure it let them down. In my case I can only say it's still with me, still in use on a regular basis(I sometimes review DVD's at Amazon.com and this is the player I use to watch them), and am pleased I bought it. So if you're looking for that second player, that first 'budget' player, or just require something that will let you watch DVD's, I can recommend this one. Having said that, I'd like to point out it's a year later and you could find low-end players for as low as sixty bucks! Plus, you can get some high-end DVD players or DVD/VCR combos for around two hundred. So shop around for the best prices.

Buyer's review: - Biggest piece of doo doo I ever bought
This piece of junk cost me about $[money]...It never really played well. DVD's would get stuck. You could see digital junk on the screen. I guess you get what you pay for. I highly UN-recommend it. This thing is a paper weight at the moment.

Buyer's review: - Buy an apex or a Playstation 2
I bought this DVD player about 6 months ago. I choose this one because of the price and the fact that usually the cheaper brands of electronics I usually buy work great (such as my Symphonic VCRs and Sanyo TVs and Stereo). Now I have to admit the picture on it seems ok but last month the remote just stopped working. To top it off the DVD player on it doesnt have a pause button (only the remote does) so I'm out of luck. I checked other peoples reviews here and found out I'm not the only one this has happened to. Obviously this DVD player has some serious QC problems. Luckily I got a PS2 for Christmas so I just use that now.

Buyer's review: - Disappointment
After having for only a few weeks, it simply stopped working. The DVD player would stutter & would not stop until the unit was unplugged from the wall. This would happen several times per DVD (that worked on other machines). One of the DVDs got stuck in the machine. We are waiting for the return to go through now.
