Great player for the price by Daniel on amazon.com Nov 23, 2010
This player playing on my new Samsung LCD tv looks great. The upconvert and hdmi connection make a difference versus playing movies on my old memorex DVD player. I've only had it close to 2 months but so far its worked well, at first I had a problem with ...
 
Easy Set Up, Easy Operation by Daniel D. on vanns.com Aug 31, 2010
I purchased this DVD player for my Aunts 90th birthday present, so she could view photos on DVD. It took less than five minutes to set the DVD up, and I was able to teach my aunt how to use it in about ten minutes. Vanns always delivers as promised. This ...

Greta Upconverter by joe on newegg.com Jun 18, 2010

Noisiest DVD player I've ever had by wygit on amazon.com Jan 8, 2012
I bought this for my wife to use with her Samsung TV in her office, so she could use the same remote. Nice thought. I've had 7 or 8 DVD players since my first one, and I've NEVER had one this noisy. If you're watching something kind of quiet, like a ...
 
Don't get this unless you want something cheap by Yan Boss� on amazon.com Jun 29, 2010
I bought this at Wal-mart thinking that for $58.00 I could get a new DVD player to replace my old one who failed some time ago. Well, my last player cost me at the time $200.00 but was worth every cent of it but not that piece of junk. Being from Atlantic ...
