I was so excited when I first got this and it worked fine for awhile. I'd have to turn it off and on by unplugging it to get the discs out. And it would often tell me that it couldn't read my discs (and these were store bought, high-end name brand movies). Finally I had to return it. Oh, and the instruction book was awful! Very poorly written and didn't make any sense. Do.Not.Buy.It.

My daughter presented me with this Koss DVD Player and seeing the price I became negative. Was I surprised. She hooked it up in a few minutes, the instructions were simple to follow and she loaded the new DVD into the player, it read the DVD and I was so delighted with the picture & sound featured on my 17" TV. I'm a senior citizen and not acquainted with technology of today and it was ideal for me. I also played a CD on the player and the sound was incredible. This was the best gift I have received other than jewelry when hubby was alive. Buy it, you will not be sorry.

DON'T BUY IT! I bought a KOSS DVD player and it broke in 6 months. I was told I was out of luck because the warranty is only 90 days. They do not do repairs. My only option is to buy a new one and wasn't even offered a discounted price for it. I have seen several complaints like mine about KOSS on the web. They make JUNK and they make it to last just to get past the warranty period and then it breaks. Oh, by the way I loved it until it broke.

The Koss KD250 works very well. Although it can't beat a $$$ panasonic dvd player in sound and video quality, it sure wins on price. Not only did it do everything as advertised, it also has some hidden features not advertised. Inside my box were instructions on how to unlock the region code restrictions and also how to enable VCD player mode. If your box did not include these instructions, just do a quick search on the web for DVD Hacks and you will have instructions soon enough.

I bought this DVD player as a cheap second system. The first DVD I tried played perfectly, but the second kept skipping sections with the message that it was skipping over bad spots. Since the DVD was new, had no scratches and played perfectly on other players I assumed the player was defective and traded it for an identical player. The new player worked with that DVD, but with the very next DVD the problems were back. I'm returning the second Koss player today and looking for another brand.
