OK, so this dvd player is cheap so you can't expect too much. However, I didn't expect to see a blue screen everytime I put a disc in and have to turn the player on and off numerous times and take the disc in and out until it played. So not worth it. Spend an extra $20 and get a player that actually works and will last!!

Hey, this is a good dvd player. its very quiet so you have to turn the volume WAY up compared to regular tv volume. the price is right and it's a good product. go for it.

I got this as a Christmas gift from some friends after my last DVD player gave up it's ghost. It's now July...about 7 months later...and this player is dead already. It was fine up until a week ago, where you had to open/close the DVD tray several times to make it read a DVD. Now it won't recognize any disc at all. Sure, it's cheap...but only lasting half a year is still too short for any kind of product to be considered a good buy - at least in my opinion.

Ordered and have used it at work many times. Ive read other review saying that it dosent last as long as other ones, but considering the other dvd players cost a lot more and some of them you can't set the regional settings on, this is a cheap but very effective player for the money. If it dies in a year or 2 who cares, you bought it for 30 bucks anyways lol. Considering I'm spending 80 dollars on gas every 2 weeks I figure 30 bucks for a year of movie watching aint to shabby.

Overall, it's a nice little dvd player. If you're only playing regular store-bought dvds which are in great condition, then this little player is phenominal, and you'll be quite happy. However, it is a little extra-sensitive to scratched dvds, and it won't play all formats of home-made videos.

We have 2 dvd players. This little magnavox, and a higher quality dvd recorder and player. The higher-end will play through most of the scratches on the dvds, whereas this magnavox will get stuck on most of the same scratches.

Also, this magnavox won't play all formats of home videos burned to DVD+R. We burned some from our computer, and some on our dvd recorder, and only some of them play on this magnavox dvd player. I wish I could remember which ones we burned which way, but I can't. If you have a video of an ultra sound from Fetal Photos, it won't play those either. I haven't tested DVD-Rs because I don't have any.

But like I said, regular store bought videos (including Netflix, Blockbuster, etc..) play just great, so long as they are in nice condition.
