I bought this dvd player 2 years ago to replace a cheaper model. This dvd player will play most anything on a disc. Now after 2 years of normal use it started to act extremely tempermental. Frequently it will say reading when a disc is loaded,and wont play without the disc being reloaded several times. Disc have gotten stuck inside this machine several times and it has scratched the discs. I would not recomend this player unless you only plan to use it for about a year.

This DVD replaced an older unit that was starting to have problems. It's an inexpensive unit that has the basic features, but not much more. For just playing movies it's okay, but somewhat disappointing. It is advertised as having a 10 disc memory, but that feature doesn't work reliabily (or at all most of the time). When you eject a disc and put it back in, the player forgets where it was in the movie. It also has a hard time reading discs when they are first inserted, and often requires several door opens & closes to properly identify a clean, new disc. It has even more trouble with slightly scratched discs, and it can't read some movies at all that played fine in my older player. The features are a little odd, and not intuitive. For example, when you are paused, and then hit the forward button several times, it steps forward slower with each press (instead of faster which is the normal method used by most other players). It does have a nice look and a cool lighted tray, but overall the features and performance are disappointing, and it's akward to use.
