5.0 out of 5 stars PAL, December 25, 2005

By	Jonoz "ANOZCREATION" (notown, ca) - See all my reviews

Watch PAL dvds! It's easy just plug it in and your good to go. Find out about great UK sitcoms like Spaced, Black Books, The Office & Big Train. Buy It.

5.0 out of 5 stars DELIGHTED, September 15, 2006

By	C. Turner (Houston, TX USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a great DVD player. No fuss. You just plug it in, hook it up to your TV and Voila! you can play any PAL or NTSC DVD without doing anything else. No need to change anything to play differently coded DVD's. Couldn't be simpler. I love it. Now I can buy PAL DVD's instead of buying VHS and paying extra to have them converted to NTSC. Highly recommended.

1.0 out of 5 stars Great for a while, March 26, 2007

By	Ingrid (Westwood, MA USA) - See all my reviews

But only for a little while. Got this for xmas, and it worked fine for three months. Then it suddenly stopped loading discs. Time to toss it.
