Didn't work the first time
(score 1/5)
What a piece of junk! Hook up is easy but after inserting my first DVD this machine never worked nor would it open so I could take out the DVD. The remote doesn't make any sense with the instruction booklet. No matter what the price if it doesn't work and is that cheaply made, don't purchase it. Enough said!

Compact and easy to use. The sound and video quality is excellent and the price unbelievably low. I was pleasantly surprised by the performance and appearance of this product and would recomment it to others. The item shipped very quickly and arrived in good condition with no hassles or problems.

Nice player for the price!
(score 4/5)
For the price this is a very good player. It is however, very sensitive to fingerprints and smudges on the DVD. If you have trouble with skip, hops or freezes, try washing the DVD. I have noticed that many rental DVDs get handled improperly and can be quite dirty; washing the DVD completely solved the problem every time.

I have not been able to experience all the features of the dvd player; however, what I have experience thus far is good. The only problem I have is there is no ejection button on the remote control.

Sony DVD
(score 3/5)
I was not sure if I could return this DVD because of the loud buzzing sound on the TV while using the DVD. A few of the DVD's the sound continues while playing the DVD as some there is little and no sound during the playing. Am I able to return for a new DVD?
