I bought this because there was a considerable discount included, but I really feel like I got more than my money's worth. Works great, right from the start. No problems or hitches at all. The picture is good, the sound is ok too, and I like that I can connect it to a TV to use as my regular DVD player. I haven't had any issues with it and I love that I can take it with me. Oh, and the battery charges very quickly too! It's great!

I bought this DVD player at a local grocery store with the idea that it was probably a $50 machine with all the little gadgets like the case and A/V cables plus a remote control, at $89 it was a nice complete set up. If it died in a year? well...I've blown that much money on stupider things. He was excited and his dad was shocked. I told him it was a lot less expensive than any video game out there and I wouldn't have to hear the annoying bleeps. Since then, it has made numerous trips to Grandmas, has flown to Missouri and back...saved us when we had a delay soooo long that an 80-year-old woman got arrested for assaulting a purser!

Anyone who has an issue with scratches on their DVDs needs to remember to clean them and to clean the machine. Our problems with it have been minor; one has been that the picture doesn't show if the screen is opened too far. Okay, so we don't do that. Also, the volume doesn't go as loud as our son would like...darn. Another problem is that it will shut itself down if it gets overheated. I don't see that as a problem, just something that wasn't mentioned in the owner's guide. (What a shame that the grandma at the airport didn't have that feature!!) But at this price, I have gotten way more than my money's worth and my son has enjoyed it immensely.

I bought this DVD player when I arrived in the USA from the UK for my 3 mth long summer work experience at the start of the summer. And Yes it still works.

I never heard of ASTAR but to be perfectly honest I was not bothered by the make more on the price.

I recently decided to try my region 2 and guess what IT worked yippeee.

Overall The sound is a little weak and even though it has a wide screen 16:9 movies still produce black bars at the top and bottom but apart from that ITS FANSTASTIC for the price its kept me happy on my days off. Pefect for taking to college.
