Relegated to the back woods

Bought this one to use at home. Made sure to ventilate it well based on other customer reviews and we've never had the problem with getting shocked. However, it won't play any of our kids' Disney DVDs - guess they are just too loaded (special editions), none of the LOTR DVDs that we have, most of our Film Movement movies (too much extra with all the subtitles?), etc. So we've relegated it to our cabin where it gets used infrequently and only with older DVDs. Might be good as a backup, but don't count on it for every day use.

light weighted, a double-edged sword

(3 out of 5) by S. Yuan on Feb 21, 2006
slim, small and compact. cheap all plastic body. the drive for light weighted design and cost cutting recuded reliability and durabiligy. You won't expect it work for your for over 2 years if your are heavy-duty user. portable design allows you to bring it with you on the run. You may even use it in your car without power converter because the DVD player used standard 12 voltage power.

can play dvd, vcd, svcd, mp3, photo disks with jpeg format files(nice feature, you can view your CD photo album on your TV!), some older avi format(doesn't support latest avi file in motion picture format of those video clips shoot by all Canon digital camera, this is big mistake Koss made).

It won't support real player file, mpeg-4 format, or any other newer computer based movie format.

some fussy about this player is that it produces a lot static charge on it after you played a disk. when you hand touches any button on the player you get electric shock! it is very annoying i guess that's because its body cannot be connected to ground on power outlet due to its design with converter power supply and the heavy of plastic material in the player body. you have to hold your car key to touch the button getting the player discharged! i see many times strong static discharges when i use my car key touching those buttons!
