PAL NTSC problem

(1 out of 5) by S. Elwell on Jan 27, 2008 (woodbury, ct usa)
The "all region" player does not function an as "all region" player right out of the box. The manual will not help you. after repeatedly requesting an explanation from the seller i was eventually told that I needed to enter an obscure code that they provided me via email. The code does work and does activate the "all region" PAL functionality but what a pain. Don't buy this unit for it's PAL functionality unless you've got some time on your hands and enjoy a project.

Muy Buena Opcion

(4 out of 5) by Jonathan C. on Jan 2, 2008
(Spanish review for latinos Buyers)

Este reproductor me ha salido mejor de lo que esperaba, reproduce todos mis archivos de video, excepto los ogm. Soporta los Avi, divx, xvid y mp4, carga los archivos de subtitulos *.srt y los sincroniza muy bien y permite conectar pendrive usb con archivos de audio y video.

en general es un buen reproductor de DVD y video en varios formatos.

PROS:
- reproduce todas las regiones
- reproduce casi cualquier formato de video mas populares (divx, xvid, mp4, etc)
- carga y sincroniza archivos de subtitulos (*.srt, etc) para peliculas en los anteriores formatos
- excelente precio por lo que ofrece
- permite conectar dispositivos usb, aunque con algunas limitantes
- apariencia elegante y delgada

CONTRAS:
- inicio lento
- interface menu muy basica y algo arcaica
- no muestra nombre de archivos largos
- no soporta mi camara digital (canon powershot a560) por el puerto usb, algo que hubiera sido muy util para ver mis fotos en el tv

Don't Buy This

(1 out of 5) by D. Thomas on Oct 28, 2007 (Chicago, IL)
This is the worst DVD player! I had to power off and on to get it to read, then most times it would get stuck on the main menu. I give it one star for the USB connection that appeared to work, although I'm sure if I kept the player that would have malfuntioned soon.

Piece of s***

(1 out of 5) by Jason Faries on Jun 28, 2008
This DVD player is the biggest piece of s*** ever. I have always owened Toshiba players, but when my last one gave out the only brand they had at Costco was Phillips. NEVER AGAIN! The interface sucks, is very limited. The remote hardly has any thing other than basic features. Maybe they thought a memory option was cool, but when I take a movie out and then start it again, I do not want the DVD player to remember where I was. Just start the DAMN MOVIE! THis thing is a big waste money. DO NOT BUY IT! If you don't care about your player, fine, then buy it. But if you watch a lot of DVDs and appreciate a good player, AVOID THIS ONE LIKE THE PLAGUE!
