I got this DVD player about a year ago, and needless to say, it has never been able to play a complete DVD. Sometimes it is able to play for about 10 minutes, but most of the time, it won't play them at all, let alone open or close the tray. When it reaches its certain 'point of no return', the whole thing freezes, the display is messed up, there is 'noise' on screen, and none of the function buttons work. Do NOT buy this DVD player! To make matters worse, I've not been able to get a direct response from Memorex about these issues.

I bought the 2026 from Target two years ago and up till yesterday, I hadn't had any problems from the unit. Yesterday, I tried to look at a movie and...nothing!!! I tried the plugs and the power cord but they were correctly connected. The owner's manual was a joke. The worst part is that my movie is stuck in the player. I know this player is the 2027 and it may not happen to you- but do you want to take a chance?

These Memorex DVD players are junk. They are full of great options but they DON'T last long at all. My family had 3 of the 2026 model that each lasted less than 6 months...two of them played less than 10 dvds before crashing. There was a reason Target only carried that model for a few months before Memorex upgraded to the 2027. This model is also junk. Mine is less than 1 year old and no longer plays MP3 discs. It plays DVDs but does not function like it's supposed to. I won't ever buy Memorex again and I would strongly suggest the same.

I recently purchased a Memorex DVD player, and let me say that I am quite pleased with it. I was hesitant to purchase the item at first, but it was at a price that I just couldn't resist! Am a professional audio/video technician, so I am, needles to say, very picky when it comes to purchasing electronics. I am pleased with the plethora of functions integrated into this unit for such a low price. While I will admit, it is not the best brand on the market, the technology is comparable to to that of many much higher priced DVD players. I also appreciate the simple operation that this product offers. My children can operate it without much hassle, and it even incorporates a parent control lock, so my children can't watch movies that I would not approve of. I have never been much of a Memorex fan, but I must give them credit for their accomplishment. They have managed to produce a low-cost, high-quality piece of equipment, that I am proud to own. Memorex, Hats off to you!!
