Consumer review by: kroth1712 (cnet.com)

Doesn't Work!!!!

It's not worth the cost, as cheap as it is, a terrible find.

Didn't cost a lot so I won't feel bad when I throw it out the window

IT NEVER WORKS!!! I put in perfectly good discs and it can never read them. Literally, no scratches or anything wrong and I have to reload it 20 times before it can read it. I'm out of control mad at this stupid little device

Works Great!

I would buy this again for the price I paid for it.

This product is easy to use. It is a very good deal for the price. I paid $29.99 for mine at Wal*mart. The small size of the unit makes it easy to tuck it into a bag when you travel. This unit is able to play discs that my expensive player won't play

I haven't found any cons to date, but I am working on using smaller files for my videos such as avi or mpeg and I have having problems figuring out how to make this work on this player

Functional for the price

I paid $26 for this unit a Dollar General. Well worth the price, and I am not afraid to let the kids use it.

The unit supports MPEG-2, PCM, and MP3 so I can burn MPEG videos on CD and watch on it

The unit is very unimpressive. You cannot unlock the region codes, but if you are like me and just burn everything to region 0 (no region code,) then everything seems to work fine

Consumer review by: xiMix (cnet.com)

Inconsistant performance. Seems to work when it want to.

I was looking for an inexpensive machine to use for daily DVD playback to take the usage load off of my DVD player that I use for karaoke discs.

Inexpensive. Small footprint packaging. Friendly remote

Poor performance

works fantastic for me

I can't even remember how long I've had this but it has to be around 2-3 years now. This works better than any other player I've owned & has never given me any grief. And my household gives this thing a workout! It gets used anywhere from 3-10 hours a...

You get what you pay for

I grabbed this for about $30 because it seemed perfect for my dorm room. It's a small, basic, simple, DVD player which was all I needed. I used it in my room at home only on about 3 or 4 occasions tops, and have it with me in my dorm again. Now,...
