2.0 out of 5 stars KLH dvd221, August 3, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: KLH DVD221 DVD Player (Electronics)

This player had trouble reading some dvd's that I rent. Even those that look perfectly fine and that play fine on my computer. It will not read DVD+R/RW or CD-R/RW. When a DVD is recognized and works, the picture quality is fine. I can't depend on the player to read DVD's that I rent, so I am looking for a different player.

1.0 out of 5 stars KHL DVD Player, November 18, 2001

I was given this DVD player as a present. It worked good for 6 months. Now it will not play many movies and the sound has to be turned up very high on the TV when it does work. I would not recommend buying it.

This is my first DVD player; I bought it about 2 years ago without knowing much about my options. When I got it, I didn't have an AV receiver, so I didn't notice the lack of an optical audio connection. The first thing I did notice is that my universal remote didn't have a listed code, and it didn't find one by searching.

Currently, the player is connected to a Yamaha HTR-5450 receiver. I've noticed some audio synch problems for a while, which really bug me, but don't seem to bother my girlfriend. Recently, I've also had a lot of trouble with discs freezing or skipping. This occurs with both brand new and old discs, and is rarely helped by cleaning. I haven't gone to the trouble to test the discs on other players to determine for sure where the fault is, but I'm pretty sure it's the KLH. I've read that both the skipping and the audio synch problems are related to an ill-defined set of standards for DVD, and many older players have been reported to have trouble with newer discs.
