Fix for Shinsonic DVD-100 loading problem,
By
This review is from: Initial DVD-100 Shinsonic DVD Player (Electronics)
We found a shinsonic DVD-100 that our neighbors had gotten rid of and kept it. At first we had trouble getting the loading tray to open and close. We had to push against the tray just as the it tried to open and then quickly release. Eventually that too failed. I opened up the case and found the problem. It was a simple fix. The dvd player has to disengage a drive spindle before it can push out the tray. The top of the plastic dvd housing contains a bearing for the drive spindle. However, the plastic is too flimsy. When the open/close button is pressed, the drive spindle pulls down, but the top of the housing simply flexes downward, rather than releasing so the tray can open. I (a fairly home improvement-impaired person) screwed a brace across the the top of the plastic to make it stiffer. That solved the problem.

Spins DVD out on Disc Tray, Refuses to play some DVDs,
By Matthew Faulkerson "Guitarist and PC Geek" (Cuyahoga Falls, OH USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Initial DVD-100 Shinsonic DVD Player (Electronics)
My dad gave me this very player as he had a much better one at one time. At first there werent any problems but after a while of going thru my DVDs I noticed some would fail to even start up and not only that but the Shinsonic DVD player would spin the DVD out onto the rough surface of the Loading tray, if it wouldnt load. I think because of that, this player is responsible for destroying a once good copy of The Ring I had as well as my copy of Animal House. I disconnected it after I noticed The Ring was ruined (it wouldnt play normally video would freeze and skip due to scratching) and dropped it in the corner of my living room never to be used again. IMO it eats (well scratches) dvds so I wouldnt recommend it to anyone. The only good thing about this DVD player is that it can be used to read DATA cds and play back most kinds of audio (mp3, wav) and video (avi, mpeg) format, even my PS2 will not do that. Of course I have yet to buy a better DVD player and check it out on that. Thumbs down, at least it is no longer available.
