The first several reviews talk this dvd player up a lot. Sure, it is supposed to be durable, sturdy and well built. Yet when I rushed to plug in my new dvd player all I got was a scrabled menu and then blank lines on the display. The unit wouldn't stay powered on correctly, and the door for the cd player didn't even open. I also tried calling Konka customer support in a last ditch effort but all I could get was voice mail of random people at their office. VERY disappointing. DO NOT BUY THIS ITEM IF YOU WANT A LOW COST DVD PLAYER....

I put this on my wishlist after I saw it as a amazon editor's pick. My wife got me one for christmas. I hooked it up and never got it to register a dvd was in the player (after trying several). The remote also seemed to only register 1 out of 10 times. Now we have to return it.... :-(

Again and again, people keep complaining about the noise of the drive and the remote - yup, it's true. First, the remote buttons are inconsistent and sometimes don't respond at all. Second, the drive does have some noise and it can be bothersome. The picture and sound are great but I'm returning mine to Amazon. Konka needs to address these complaints because they are common among buyers of this unit.

Drive motor noise is unacceptable. I returned my unit. I didn't bother to find out whether this is a model problem or a unit problem.
