Unfortunately Somewhat Disappointed

 

The user-friendliness is pretty good. There are no confusing buttons or functions.

The screen has a green tint, which fades away sometime, while using the player.

Unfortunately Somewhat Disappointed

 

Our DVD player also came as a free gift with a cell phone purchase. The remote works well and for the most part is is above expectations for a free DVD player. We liked it a lot better than our previous cheap cheap brand, but it has several downsides....

The DVD S221: Decent, But with Constant (and Very Irksome!) Contrast Change Issues

 

In 2002, a member of the family got a new cell phone plan from Radio Shack. Of course, you're wondering what this has to do with the Samsung DVD S221. Well, with the purchase of cell phones at that time, was a promotion for a free DVD player with...

Nice appearance, no major problems

Ever-changing contrast issues, slow response time, remote control

Good quality basic DVD player

 

My first DVD player was a Shinco brand that I had bought from Hong Kong. The main reason I had bought that was for the mp3 support, a rare finding a few years back on a DVD player. But since then, the laser has died and is unable to play DVDs and thus,...

Good quality DVD player, cheap price

Not many fancy features, no ID3 tag support for mp3

Good DVD player for the money

 

Overall, this is a good player for the money. I won't re-hash all the specs. This player supports a wide range of compatible formats including DVD, VCD, SVCD, MP3, CDR, CD-RW, etc. It will also play most DVD-R and DVD-RW discs. It is a handsome DVD...

Supports many formats, low price

Has trouble with some VCD's and SVCD's, noisy drive mechanism.

Mid-to-Low-End but Silver and stacked with Stuff!

 

I got this DVD player a few months ago mostly because it was under $100 and had lots of features. It has all the outputs you could want, composite, s-video, component, digital audio. I have an older TV that only accepts composite video, but...

Looks cool, lots of features for a low-end unit

Kinda slow to startup, remote is not that sensitive

For a few $ more, you can do better.

 

Disc load time is VERY slow. After closing tray it can take up to 15 seconds or so to load disc and start playing.

Price.

MP3 playback is unreliable.Remote control is garbage.
