In my opinion, this is the *best* of the low-budget Chinese Made DVD Players, offering excellent picture and sound for DVD's. Also plays mp3's flawlessly (although no shuffle feature) and even has the bonus of full karaoke features! Finally it has coaxial AND optical output (rare on a low price DVD Player). You can't go wrong with this DVD Player. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

I've owned this player for a couple of months I haven't run into a DVD,vcd movie or CDR media that this player couldn't play. The MP3 playback works great too.

This player has two sets of stereo AV outputs one S-video output & coaxial,optical digital audio outputs.

Also there's a dimmer button on the remote for the FL display on the player itself. I've never tried the Karaoke function.

This product does do a lot of things. The reading capability makes it worth the buy, but...
When I was looking to buy a product that was able to read (or play) DVD's, CD's, MP3's, VCD's, CD-R's and (Most importantly to me at the time of purchase) CD-G's (Also known as Karaoke discs). It says, "Karaoke capability with microphone input." But they mean, sing along with the original artist.

Let me be very clear. This unit does NOT play CD-G's.
It will not display the lyric in text on the screen off of a Karaoke disc.

Other than that though, the unit is awesome. It does play all the others that it states. And if I wasn't looking for CD-G ability specifically, with MP3 ability I would not have returned the item.

So far I have not been able to find a machine that can do all that and CD-G's.

I bought this DVD player hoping for a decent, reliable machine that could play DVD's and MP3's. The remote is layed out very poorly, and the on-screen user interface to play MP3's is severly lacking. It had trouble playing MP3's on the last 70 tracks (of 144 tracks) of my MP3 CD's, and the device only uses 6-8 characters to display a title. My pet peave is that the power button is manual only, so I can't turn it on or off with the remote. But otherwise the DVD player seemed to work fine. The picture and sound were decent. HOWEVER, after about 1.5 months of use, it simply stopped working for no apparant reason...What a hassle.

If you're a gambler, don't care about how it plays MP3's, and want a decent priced DVD player, then go for it. Otherwise, I would recommend some other DVD players out there that are more reliable...

What a disapointment! Love the idea of the Karaoke. Ran out and brought Karaoke disc's and microphone only to be totally let down. No graphics on screen. Volume teribble!
Three days after that the DVD player would not work start playing a movie all of a sudden it just paused, now all we get is black & white pictures and constant rolling of the picture. Tried all the instructions from the troubleshooting guide still nothing! of course all this happens after the warranty is up!
