1.0 out of 5 stars Mine Broke, November 5, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: GoVideo DVP855 DVD Player (Electronics)

Owned it for about 10 months with no problems. Then it stopped working on some DVD's and within a week was refusing to open the disc player and played mosaic pictures. It was not used that much, but only has a 90 day warranty anyways. It was worth ...

This review is from: GoVideo DVP855 DVD Player (Electronics)

This is a good-looking DVD player. The price has gone down a little now, but when I purchased mine, it was much higher. So, it might be worth it now, but I doubt it.
After owning mine for about the first six months, it started doing odd things when playing the discs like the picture would freeze up momentarily, or the disc wouldn't load the first time, it would be difficult to start from a scene further in the movie, etc....
I figured it needed to be cleaned so I bought the recommened cleaning kit for it, cleaned it and cleaned my discs.
Now it has been a year and the problem has gotten so bad with it now that it plays half of the movie and then locks up. When I try to load the disc the second time, it won't even load.
Since it only had a year warranty on it, I guess I'm pretty much out on this one.
I highly recommend not to purchase this product or this brand, especially if you plan on keeping your player around for a while and not feeling like you got the short end of the stick.
I should have spent [money amount] more and purchased a Sony. I'm going back to the store, but I'm not coming home with a GoVideo product. :(

1.0 out of 5 stars STAY AWAY!!, July 27, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: GoVideo DVP855 DVD Player (Electronics)

People, do NOT waste your money on this DVD player. It worked decently for about 9 months, then died completely. It fails to recognize any disc whatsoever. Before dying, it was extremely sensitive and very glitchy, plus it would shut itself off if you had it paused for over 3 minutes, and then not remember where the film left off. This is an absolutely TERRIBLE player and I'm sure you can get something more reliable for much cheaper.
