Problem free for nearly two years.
(4 out of 5) by clamarama on Apr 19, 2006 (Shoreline, WA United States)This player has been a great bargain. It's gotten a lot of use, and it's never given me any kind of problem. Plays every disc every time.

Problems from the start
(1 out of 5) by Melissa Workmon on Mar 24, 2006 (Anchorage, AK USA)I bought this item and immediatly had problems with it skipping. Within a month it was completely useless, always saying "Wrong Disc" and not returning to the main menu and freezing up after the movie. I have only had it for 45 days and it will not play any DVD's. I would not recommend anyone buy this player.

piece of junk!
(1 out of 5) by K. Frederick on Jan 28, 2006 (Maryland)i knew going in that this wouldn't be anywhere near to top of the line, but even knowing that it fell way below my expectations. it didn't recognize a single dvd i tried to play and whenever you inserted a disc into the drive it sounded like it was gearing up for take-off. do yourself a favor and pass on this piece of junk.

Open the DVD tray
Press STOP button on the remote control
Press 70
Press MENU (my menu button says MENU PBC on it)
Use the numeric keypad to select your region code number (0 - 6)-- 0 is region free. ENJOY!!
