This GPX D1816SIL DVD Player with remote has BOTH great picture and sound and it's light and compact!!! And it's very affordable!!! Great for those who have kids and want a reliable but not expensive DVD player!!! My whole family enjoys it!!! Very recommended!!! Two thumbs up!!! Five stars A+

Purchased for the very occasional viewing of DVD's - and for playing Jeopardy which we received as a gift.
Unit works well, although we had problems with the open/close button on the machine. Amazon was quick to replace it with another.
So far, the replaced player is working very nicely. Especially like how compact it is!
For the price, it's an excellent choice for our needs.
Would have rated it 5 stars had we not had the problem with the initial machine.

well i own it for two days and it already giving me trouble like half way into the movie it freezes with all the movies and so it start playing from the beginning but then i had to go thru it to find were i was and i well and it seem it be playing fine but it do it again and it also started as if the motor on it about to go out and also own another gpx dvd before but was not great either had that one for a month and the laser went out on that one too

I decided to give this one a chance since the price was so good and it was a compact player. It didn't play some of our DVD's correctly, and then it stopped working. Too bad, it sure cleared up some shelf space being so small compared to our old player. It also seemed like the disc tray was really fragile because it was so thin. I shipped it back and will probably go for a better name brand for a few extra bucks.

This thing really is awful. It's incredibly temperamental - it'll only play if the disk is absolutely pristine. The dvd's that I own seem to do well, but about 2 out of 3 disks I rent (or get through Netflix) refuse to play. The picture seizes up, or the sound keeps going while the screen turns black, or the whole thing just stops. Also, the remote control is ludicrous with its teeny tiny buttons, and all of them placed nonsensically - not at all user-friendly or intuitive.

I know you get what you pay for, but the thing should at least work half the time, don't you think? Save your money, don't buy this machine.

This compact machine is easy to install and operate. This is the second one that I've purchaced to replace other larger, and well known DVD machines that have worn out with less use. I do wish that they made one that could load two DVD's for watching movies without having to get up and switch DVD's...something like a mini changer.

I bought this dvd player to replace a dvd player that would not play rented movies. This player has the same problem. It plays the previews fine but locks up or displays a choppy, purple, pixilated screen when the movie starts. Burned video from my camcorder works fine. Avoid if you buy or rent movies. Mine is personally headed for the landfill and I barely got to use it.

Purchased this DVD player 6 months ago - used very infrequently. This morning tried to get the RENTED DVD out and the thing wouldn't turn on. Spoke to customer service rep who politely informed me that warranty lasts 90 days so I'm out of luck. Ended up taking the whole thing apart myself to get the dvd out - after that pieces are going in the trash..... Oh well, at least I didn't spend a lot of money in the first place. I still feel like I threw the money straight in the trash can....

Mine could play Netflix rentals without any problems. However, several months into its lifespan, when I'd turn it on it wouldn't always stay on. But once I got it to stay on it would stay on indefinitely, so I just left it on full-time. But today when I inserted a DVD, it shut off and wouldn't turn on again. I had to take the housing off to retrieve the DVD.

I agree with the reviewers who hate the remote. It's hard to use, and you need a clear unobstructed line of sight for it to work. I'm not buying one of these ever again.

This plays things like DVDs and it doesn't cost much. If you don't purchase this item, I'm going home to mother.
