5.0 out of 5 stars I love this dvd player, June 4, 2006

By	E. de Feo - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I rent a lot of dvd's from netflix and my last dvd player always stopped and skipped - even if we cleaned the dvds. This player has read through every dvd - sans skips! Yeah! Other things are great about this player too. The picture is heads above my last several players and it remembers the last place you were on a dvd (even if you take the dvd out). This is a great player! I would buy another one if I needed a second!

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice, flat player, April 25, 2007

By	H. Thomas (Schweiz) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have this 1 week now, so nothing about durability here. It looks elegant, picture is good. Got a dificulty with a selfmade homemovie DVD the player did not recognize as a DVD but as a DVD-ROM and was not playable... well, those discs have some scratches...

I had a cheap LG and a cheap JWin player, but their laser wore out quickly. I hope the harman has a more duarble better quality laser... I will see.

CON: The JWin I had permitted to go to main menu or skip any part (like that endless copyright warnings or preview movies) even if the disc itself had that function blocked. Now the Harman DVD 27 player can not overrun a discs skip blocking, thats not very userfriendly - of course we have to blame the DVD producers for that in the first place. The player works with region 0 and 1 only, thats ugly too, but you can change that (see below). There is no OFF button, the player goes into standby instead and consumes 1 watt. No HDMI out.

PRO: Nice remote with nightlight. Good setup menus and manual. The region stupidess can be defeated, it is easy to make this player region free. 1. press SETUP on the remote. 2. Press "3141590", the player is now region free.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good buy in this price range, November 10, 2006

By	D. Edstrom - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I'm not an audio/video elitist. I was having problems with DVD players that were only a couple years old and cost 3 or 4 times as much as this one: they would skip, jerk, and then freeze. NetFlix DVDs were almost guaranteed to freeze, but others were an increasing problem as well.

Haven't had a single problem with this unit. The picture is great (screen is a 37" plasma), the setup was painless, and the remote is one of the more thoughtfully designed variety...one of the things I've generally liked about Harman Kardon.

This one will definitely be kept and transferred to the den when my primary TV setup gets upgraded.
