1 out of 5 stars Product was defective - had to return   September 1, 2005
 1 out of 2 found this review helpful

This player did not work. The screen went totally black within 10 seconds after putting the first dvd in it. It had sound, but no picture whatsoever. Had to return and did not buy it again. Went with a Mintek instead and it is working fine.


1 out of 5 stars Horrible DVD Player   January 26, 2006
I purchased the 853, it's the same unit with an 8.5 inch screen. The first unit I purchased had bright red pixels all over. I took it back and exchanged it for the same model, the second one played the DVD for about 30 seconds and then choked. So I turned it off and back on again, but all it would do is say "Disc Unknown". I took it back for a full refund. This company makes the worst DVD players I have ever seen.


4 out of 5 stars Good feature and initial quality for the price   April 5, 2006
I just owned this unit for a few days so I am unable to judge its long term reliability. I had one glitch right out of the box: the LCD screen was completely dark! I connected it to a TV and everything looked OK. After fiddling for a while then I finally found the culprit: the "line select" switch was kind of set in the middle. After moving it to the "out" position then the picture came up and there are no dead pixels. However, there is nothing mentioned in the manual about what's the exact funtion of this switch. In summary,

The Cons:
* Poor documentation.
* The vertical view angle is limited.
* Not S-video cable which requires a special connector.
* No "seek" buttons on the console.
* Display dot pitch is kind of big (the screen door effect)

The Pros:
* Versatile audio capability, good speakers.
* Works with DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD+R DL, DVD+RW.
* Changeable region setting as mentioned in the previous review.
* The screen brightness, aspect ratio and color is easy to adjust.
* Relatively low price (from another vendor)
