I have tried about 30 different DVDs in this player, and it has had problems reading about half of them. Many of these were from Netflix, so they had minor scratches, but my computer was able to read them perfectly fine. The player is problematic because when it has trouble reading, it tends to skip ahead several chapters for no reason. I can skip back to just after the bad section and it will play fine; why did it skip ahead so far? It often plays fine through 'bad' sections on a second retry, so it's obviously a fault in the player: it doesn't know how to retry and read a bad section again.

The read errors are such an annoyance that I can't even use this player. I have tried to show movies for friends, and on three different occasions the player caused so much trouble that I had to play the movie on my computer instead. Unacceptable! I'm now shopping for a better player.

I've had this puppy for over four months now and not a single problem with it, except it could have included an HDMI cable with it in the package! I got it for a womanfriend who's hi-def teevee (Samsung Vizon widescreen) had never had a chance to go through it's paces because we can't afford digital cable and had no hi-def player. The upconverter and progressive scan features make every movie seem like the first viewing. Lately I've notice upconverters going for less than the 49 bucks I paid for this one but five months ago, this was a great deal... still is anyway. It just works great and has read every disk we put in and also home-burned MP3's now that we have a surround sound system for the audio (Walmart for $40! 5.1-80 watts) I just love shoppping the bargains... and Amazon is always great for finding dvd's and vhs' for cheeeeep!
