I bought it because I read a good review by a professional and because it is region free and took it as a birthday gift for my fiance in Asia. We were together about 5-6 weeks took it on daytrips, overnights, a weeklong trip to an Island. The climates were extreme and nothing phased the machine. It was almost completely intuitive to use. After playing between 50 and 75 vcd and dvds from diferent regions I thought the thing worked, looked and did not sound great. But the sound is as good as almost any other I listened to. It comes with all conections you could imagine, the batery lasted a long time, the pic was consistently good even from wide angles off center. What more can I say? I gave away the red one as a birthday present as planned, and now will go out and buy myself the black one. That's the best endorsement I can give.

I bought this unit for playing region 2 DVD's during a 5 week trip to Europe in September and October. However given that the tour was intensive I only used the unit a few times and then packed it away until I wanted to show a DVD of Venice to my family gathering at Christmas. I must have used it then maybe 2 or three times and then I noticed that something was wrong with the hinge on opening it. On closer inspection I found that the whole screen part of the unit was splitting apart. The unit was not dropped and was carried at all times in the DVD case I purchased for it. Presently I am trying to locate support with no success. B & H photo video from where it was purchased has deleted all information about it.

It appears very good. However, when you start using it, you will see some problems...
