Stay Away!

The unit worked well for a short time. Now the video has a terrible scrolling problem making it totally worthless. Save your money and buy a "real" system. You get what you pay for.

Pretty bad machine

The good: It cost me $70 for a DVD/receiver combo with six speakers. I never had any of the humming subwoofer, crackling, scrolling video or any other obvious audio or video faults reported on here. I haven't had any serious trouble with the remote The bad: It doesn't play DTS. Dolby Pro Logic II (from Gamecube and PS2 on AV inputs) can be very iffy. Sound seems to jump in and out of the rear speakers a lot. Playing with menu options usually results in an inexplicable loss of sound from some or all speakers. Or sometimes it sounds different when you set an option, then it sounds even differenter when you try and set the option back to normal! Most settings aren't remembered if the unit is switched off and on again. If your rear speakers are too close to you (like i have in my apartment), you must lower their individual volumes every time the player is switched on. The remote is nice looking, but spells all its words out (like "play" intead of > and "stop" instead of []) You can't skip crappy DVD menu intros and other certain things like you can on many other DVD players. conclusion: good price, but only get it if you really really can't afford a better DVD/receiver combo, or better yet, separate components. note: to set the region on the player, go to setup with no disc inserted, press right to get to prefs page. then press 1,3,7,9 on the remote's keypad. Of course it doesn't save this, so you'll need to change it every time you want to play an import DVD.

Fair for the money.

I purchased this unit a few months ago, Had my issues.<br /> 1. The remote is hard to read. <br /> 2. My cable remote when used to change volume ejects the dvd.<br /> 3. The FM reception is the worst. Why would they use a 75 ohm connector when you can't use it. The FM antenna they give you is worthless. <br /> 4. Don't mess with the units speakers too much it causes the rear speakers to stop working. The fix is a follows.<br /> <br /> * Remove any CD/ DVD's in unit<br /> * goto setup<br /> * next goto Preference Page<br /> * Goto Default and Reset<br /> to check if working.<br /> Goto speaker set up , then test tone, you should hear each speaker turn on.<br /> <br /> It's is really good with DVD movies which is what I purchased it for. The hassle is I have to use a separatemy FM Tuner for the radio.<br /> <br /> Better off speanding a little more to get a Sony.<br /> <br /> Hope this helps
