The DVG-3000N is an excellent choice for beginers, screen is crystal clear as well as the sound (be it movie, cd or mp3), basic all-around functionality is ok as is the standard remote, the pitch control function allows you to speed up/slow down the perceived audio (I say perceived audio because no change is done to the movie speed) which is funny to play with and useful if you use the player in a PAL environment.
Connectivity is ok but not impressive, as it lacks component video and optical audio jacks, the player DOES have a ZOOM feature (tech data is wrong) and the manual is simple but complete.
Manufactured in China and backed by a well known Korean brand, this player is everything you need if you are more concerned about watching movies than about buying the ultimate techno-hype.

I have several DVD players. One SONY (DVP-F5), one Toshiba (DP-1600), a SONY PlayStation 2, and an APEX AD-1500. This is the second cheapest one, costing only a few dolloars more than the APEX. And this is easily my player of choice at home, even above the far more expensive SONY and Toshiba models. The number of formats it supports is the most on any player I've ever come across, even more than all of the APEX players. And few people know that this system allows you to watch DVDs from Regions 1-6 on a NTSC TV, and there is even a "loop-hole menu" that allows you to turn off Macrovision (may be absent from newer models). The DVD video quality is actually superior to the Toshiba and APEX models, and the optical output on the sound is rich. The MP3 playback is also very good, and easily worth the price alone. The VCD playback is the best feature though, not only is this the best VCD player for a TV in terms of picture/sound it also has RW, FWD and chapter capabilities for (S) VCD. If you have a lot of VCDs that you only use on your computer, you owe it to yourself to try them out on this player! The headphone jacks are a nice tough but pretty useless since the unit is heavy and bulky. The only problems are (1) remote has tiny buttons and no ON button and (2) little tech support; if you mess up or get a defective unit, you're pretty screwed. I would recommend this player to anyone though, and for it’s price, it's a steal!

I purchased one of these Daewoo dvd players a while back, and I'm going to buy another one because I gave my first to my brother. This player is a great value, and it works perfectly. I honestly can't tell the difference between this and the much more expensive Toshiba dvd player my parents have. The color (silver) is also very cool.

EXCELLENT player. The DVG-3000N was my first player ever and is still my favorite. Ive never had any problems playing any discs (except for some cdrws) and the quality competes with much higher priced players. The thing is darn sturdy too, it sits under my 21" sony wega without a problem. Unless optical audio output or component video outputs are a necessity to you, I strongly reccomend this player to anyone.

I've found this unit performs very well, and would recommend it. My nit-piks: the remote doesn't turn the unit off/on; although it does successfully play cd-r's and cd-rw's, it occasionally balks at initially reading those disks when I first put the disk in - opening and closing the tray a couple of times always gets it to acknowledge the presence of the disk, but sometimes it's a challenge; I find that having the unit on creates interference in my tv - that is, the off-the-air picture gets the slightest bit snowy on some channels. I have a cheap tv, and get my signal over the air, not via cable, so this may contribute to the problem. Watching dvd's-vcd's, the picture is perfect - it's when I leave the unit turned on but am watching off-the-air content that it seems to interfere. That's why not being able to turn the unit off with the remote is a pain. I think rf interference shielding could be better.

But, as a dvd-vcd-svcd-cdr-cdrw-mp3 player, I have no complaints at all. I love being able to make a cdrw mp3 disk with 7-9 hours of audio on it, and letting it run when I have company over, or want to hear long works with no interruption. Can you say Wagner Ring, on 2-discs?

I've seen a couple of really bad reviews posted here, but I have no complaints whatsoever about this DVD player! This is my first, and in my opinion you can't go wrong for the price. It's easy to hook up and use, and the picture and sound are outstanding! I know there are more expensive feature packed players out there (not that this player is absent of a few, fun little extras), but if you're looking for a machine to experience the quality of DVD on and not something that will cook your dinner, wash your car and change your life, then this one should keep you content!...

You get a lot of bang for your buck with this DVD player. It's my first DVD player so I can't really compare it, but so far, it has performed flawlessly -- the picture looks good, and it has played everything I've thrown at it just fine.

Earlier versions of this player seem to have come "multi-region enabled" -- the player I bought is not, at least not technically. There are easy ways of getting around this problem -- I'm not sure if I can advertize URLs on here, but plug in "darrenk" and "daewoo dvd" on your search engine and you should find out how to change the region capability of your machine.

The only niggle I have with this unit is that the sound levels are a little low -- one solution for this (apparently) is to use one of the headphone jacks on the front of the unit to connect to your stereo rather than the RCA jacks (red/white) at the back of the player. If you are using the digital (coax) out, though, to your fancy home theatre system, you should be fine.

All in all, a sleek little customer -- by the looks of some of the reviews here, it can be hit or miss, but I guess if you miss, just return it and get another one.

This player has everything you need! Before you even think of purchasing, please understand you are non buying a Nakamichi, Denon or Pioneer Elite standard model. But you are getting a lot of features which not of the above models have !

This system will play all regions (1 thru 6).
This system will function in any voltage level ( in any country).
This system will play NTSC to PAL and vice versa on any Television in the world.
The system has zoom levels, fast foward ,rewind and all other functions you will find in an expensive model.

I purchsed a DVD disc from Australia (region 4 PAL) to test this system and it worked perfectly on my NTSC television. Also, I dare you to find a better price on this model because all the websites I visited had various price levels. So far Amazon has the best retail price on this particulor model. So be advised !!Also, I played this DVD for more than a day non stop to test the limits and it never failed. It comes in Silver and quite stylish. I'll bet anyone that you will not find a better player at this price in any website (brand new), or in any retail dept.

Some of the setbacks are that the power off button is not available on the remote (so what ?), and also this player is not macrovison disabled. That means you cannot record a movie to a VCR (so what?). Last not least you have to directly connect the player to the television. You cannot connect it via the VCR , and if you do you might come across some picture quality problems. If by chance you do purchase a different region, all you have to do is press the N/P button on the remote. That's it.

This is a truly splendid system, and it's the best value out there right now! Get it before it's too late.

This is one of the best purchases I've made recently. The player works perfect, no need for any set up or anything, just plug and play. It plays all my CDR/CDRWs, MP3s, VCDs I have got from overseas and off course the DVDs. And surprisingly it also played the CD I had burnt with my favorite music videos (mpegs)!

It has all the necessary features one would expect from a basic DVD player. For its price its a steal. The only bummer is the lack of power button on remote, but I can live with it.

I bought it as a gift to my parents in India as its a true international DVD player and plays DVDs from all regions, supports NTSC and PAL seamlessly. But now I'm so impressed that I'm thinking of buying one for myself too!

THis machine was so good I sold my other dvd's and bought 2 of these. It plays everything I want --- including SVCD and MP3 --
It could use some GUI inprovement for MP3 .. and a remote on/off-
other then that the unit is the best I've used..
