Not a review but some comments on VCD playing capability...
I just wanted to point out that there is a menu to enable the unit to play VCDs. Unfortunately, it is hidden and requires a few presses of buttons on the remote to access it but it does work. If you have firmware version 5, the following steps will allow you to enable this feature. (To check what version of firmware you have, just hit the menu button twice and the information should come up on screen.)
#1 - Insert a music cd.
#2 - Press the menu button.
#3 - Press 5
#4 - Press the eject button. (The tray should remain closed.)
#5 - Press 1
#6 - Press the index menu button.
#7 - Press eject again. (The tray should still remain closed.)
If these steps are followed correctly, a prompt should appear saying "Enable VCD:1-Yes/2-No" at which point you simply hit 1. You should now be able to play VCDs on the Oritron 600. According to what I have read online, this should work on all units manufactured from January 2000 onward.

BUY THIS AND BE A LAUGHING-STOCK!
Man, this plyer is a complete reck! I know 3 other ppl who purchased one at the same time i did, I figured since it didnt appear to have alot of buttons or any "special-features" that it wouldn't be too difficult to figure out....oohhh if i had only knew..
FIRST THE PICTURE.MY GOD...THE PICTURE! It fades in and Out..CONTINUOUSLY. Mines not the only one either, other ppl (2/3 ppl to be excact) i have spoken too said there Oritron did the same thing. Ands its not minor fading, i could deal with that, it fades so dark that the tv looks turned off (literally** NO JOKE!) then about 25 seconds later it fades back in and becomes extremely bright; kinda like the sun:O...and still you cant see the picture.
Some of my friends Oritron's have really good sound quality though...but i guess it doesnt matter if you cant actually see picture:|

This is the worst DVD player I have EVER seen!
I watched two movies with this thing, and after that it simply refused to work. My Charlie's Angels DVD got stuck in the player and I had to get a screwdriver and pry it open. Horrible quality. Movies would play half-way through and then the picture would break up, and it would say "disc error". I would then play the same part perfectly on another player. There is no front display, either! Don't buy this play. If you want a good player, try the RCA RC5215P. I've had it for two months with no problems.

Don't buy this!
I would like to save you from the embarrassment of giving this DVD player to anyone and then finding out that it broke only 6 months later. The act that caused the break down was moving the player from one room to another. Before it broke all together, it skipped, froze, wouldn't eject, didn't respond to remote comands, or did so very slowly. Get a name brand you have heard of; the difference in customer support is worth every penny extra you may pay for it. I have purchased a JVC, a Samsung and a Panasonic DVD player, each for under $150, all of which satisfactorily reached their first anniversary of purchase with ease. This Oritron player is a waste of money.
