5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely foolproof!, July 5, 2002

This review is from: Koss KD250 DVD Player (Electronics)

First let me say, this is the first DVD- player I bought and the main reason I chose this one was the price. But I'm really happy with it, it's so easy to set up (took me about two minutes and I'm really not a genius when it comes to these things!) and I also had no trouble at all to figure out its various functions. The remote looks a little [inexpensive], but it works just fine and is not complicated at all (I'm the type of person who turns on the ceiling-fan when I try to change the channel on the TV but this remote is easy to handle) ;-)
The DVD player plays everything I tried up to now (DVD, MP3, ..)even older CD's with some scratches didn't cause any problem.
Probably for an experienced person who wants more than just watch a movie or listen to some music this is not the right thing, but for a "beginner" like me it's just perfect.

This review is from: Koss KD250 DVD Player (Electronics)

I have a Toshiba DVD player in my living room and was looking for one for my bedroom. I found...this modelI figured how couild I go wrong. I picked it up, and it plays DVD's as good as my Toshiba. It also plays all of my MP3' files so it has an advantage over my other system.

I liked it so much I bought one for my summer place in NY state.

My only complaint would be the remote. They could make it easier to use.

2.0 out of 5 stars Two players skip "bad" sections of new DVDs, January 11, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Koss KD250 DVD Player (Electronics)

I bought this DVD player as a cheap second system. The first DVD I tried played perfectly, but the second kept skipping sections with the message that it was skipping over bad spots. Since the DVD was new, had no scratches and played perfectly on other players I assumed the player was defective and traded it for an identical player. The new player worked with that DVD, but with the very next DVD the problems were back. I'm returning the second Koss player today and looking for another brand.
