Does everything I want and is inexpensive. This model used to have an Svideo output instead of just composite and component, and I wish it was still there, since Svideo is better than composite, and my old TV doesn't have component input, but I can't tell the difference - good picture.

Don't be fooled by the price--it may be relatively cheap, but it's not a shoddy player. I've had it since September 07, used it 2-3 days a week, and it's still working perfectly. It's small, sleek, and light. The picture here makes it look shinier than it really is, it's more of a matte (dull) silver, but it still looks nice. It doesn't have fancy features, just the standard buttons, fast forward/rewind, menu, zoom, and setup options. My only advice is to STOP the DVD before you eject it. If you eject in the middle of play sometimes the picture will glitch up, and that may be why a few of the other reviewers had problems. Other than that one issue, it's been flawless.

Very easy to modify to make region-free; you'll save a bundle by buying DVDs abroad. My only beef is that there's no eject button on the remote.

Unfortunately this dvd player doesn't work properly after 6 months. It has a green line on the top with multiple picture distortions while it plays. Yes. I can still see hat is playing but with disappointing quality and I'm nervous for how long more. We are looking for a replacement...

It does what I wanted it to so I'm happy with it. I wanted a DVD player that would play .avi files and could not find a single one that I could actually afford. I tried my luck with this and it plays them! The only reason I'm giving it four stars is because it will occasionally take a couple of opening and closing the drawer for a burned DVD to load.
