Strength:
Played various types of media, slim, never tried most of the features, broke to quick.
Weakness:
Build quality, it appears this problem has happened to other ppl. Maybe this was a bad one, but once I seen other reviews with simular problem, I didn''t wan''t to risk an exchange. Took it back after 3 days, began locking up and freezing. During playback of new DVDs, would lock on a picture, and freeze there, in some kind of loop, ejected disk, put in a different disk(one that played fine the night before), after 5 minutes, same problem, only way to correct was to unplug, and restart. If I could give it a zero, i would. Replaced it with a Toshiba 2800, same price, works great! ... so far! Similar Products Used: Toshiba 2800 |

Strength:
Good Picture on DVD. Plays CD-R and CD-RW.
Weakness:
No Optical connection to A/V Receiver. Overall for the price this unit is worth the money. Not having the Optical connector (which is found on the next model up) would be nice but not essential at this price point. Similar Products Used: None. |

Strength:
Good Price
Weakness:
Very cheaply built, freezes up after 2 weeks of use The build quality of this machine was even worse than that of a Samsung machine I tried out about 15 months ago. I decided to give DVD one more shot, but was very dissapointed with this machine. After two weeks, it started pausing/and/or freezing up during playback on BRAND NEW DISCS, not rentals. Also, I could see tons and tons of digital artifacts in the picture, those equal by the crappy aforementioned Samsung machine. Essentially, this is more Made In China crap with minimal or non-existent quality control. Also, there is no time remaining feature on this machine, it only counts up. PLEASE, somebody build a decent mid-priced DVD player.....maybe I should try Toshiba..... Similar Products Used: Sony 7000, Sony 360, Sony NS-300, Samsung |

Strength:
Great Picture, works perfectly with my stereo and tv, good remote. Very happy with cd sound and DVD play.
Weakness:
I can't get it to work with video cd's (VCD). This is driving me nuts! VCD's format in Mpeg 1, which this unit doesn't seem to recognize, though it says it will. Hmmm. Great for cd's and DVD's; won't work with VCD's as advertised. Similar Products Used: Shinsonic DVD - played the VCD flawlessly, but DVD function was terrible. Returned. |
