Simple little lightweight player

Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2024

This is a gift for my sister. I tried it before sending it to her.

This player is small and so lightweight that even a small apartment will have no problem to find a better place for it. It works well with the remote (they included batteries too) without any problem at all.

The price for Craig quality is unbeatable.

Freezing and Skipping

Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2024

Works as advertised except freezing and skipping between chapters. Tested on a brand-new DVD and 3 times during the movie it froze for 2-3 seconds between chapters and then skipped ahead a few seconds. Everything else worked fine, some noise from the player during the movie (not just loading) but not consistent enough to be obtrusive. Good for background noise movies and/or immersion is not high on your list. Value for money? This tech is ancient and they probably produce the thing for less than 5$ in a Chinese sweatshop so that's for you to decide.

Good choice for the cost.

This met our needs: inexpensive, we will not often use it (raining days while camping), small.
The DVD drawer does seem to be a little weak so be careful when opening or closing.
The menu interface was simple to use. Lot is buttons on control to use that we will likely never need,
Worked well out of box, hope to use it more while camping.

Works great EXCEPT that remote button labels are too faded & FAR TOO TINY TO READ!!

- Works great, great price.
- Did NOT come with HDMI cable, I paid a few dollars extra for this model for the HDMI Yet still a great deal for 4 months of zero internet service over the CA winter in 2023.
- CAN'T READ REMOTE BUTTON LABELS!!
- Amazing extra functions, BUT CAN'T READ THE BUTTONS, SO CAN'T USE THEM!

BAD:
Text labels on the remote ARE FAR TOO TINY & FAR TOO LIGHT TO READ!!!

Never had a remote this bad. It works, but it's labeling is USELESS, so the remote is virtually useless!

Which means that all the AWESOME extra functions this device offers, they effectively cannot be used!
You can try to memorize a few buttons you use most, BUT, you'd forget unless used daily.

The tiny very light labels will certainly fade to nothing or rub off quickly. THEN you're out of luck. Player won't work ONLY because the buttons are unlabeled!

You'll need a bright light & magnifying glass to operate the remote.

You'll have to use it like an old fashioned TV before remotes existed. And won't be able to use advanced features.

But, if you never rewind, pause, restart playback or use any of the amazing extra features is has, this works GREAT!

A good value!

My only complaint (and it's not really a deal breaker) is the remote. It's not a well designed/laid out device. But otherwise I'm very happy with this little thing. I have it above my Series 8 55" Samsung
LCD TV. And it produces an excellent picture. And it was a snap to hook up. I'm using an HDMI cable,
so it was a simple connection. And as I said picture quality is great and sound fidelity is exactly what
I expected, no complaints.
If you going to put this device some place out in the open. You'll notice the status light is a fairly
bright red. But I took care of that issue with a small piece of electrical tape. This probably won't be
an issue for everyone.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this device to anyone though!

Works great. Good quality video and sound and easy to set up and use. Unreal performance for the price. Bought two and gave one as a gift.

Fits my needs

Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2024

Style: HDMIVerified Purchase

I purchased this compact DVD player for my MIL who is currently living in a very tiny efficiency. I wanted a compact player this is simple to use for a 70 year old. This really seem to be it. She really does best if she sticks to the basics. This DVD player actually provides a bit more features than just the basics, but it won't be too complicated to use.

Update - it didn't work for her. First, it was really loud like you can hear the disk spinning loudly the whole time. Second, after getting it set up, she called and asked us why she can't hear anything even though the TV and DVD player had the volume all the way up. I haven't been over to see what happened, but the sound was fine when I installed it. So either something malfunctioned in a day of use, or it's too confusing for her to use and she pressed a button and doesn't know what she did. Either way, it's being returned.

This is exactly what I wanted. It’s sleek/compact and easy to operate. It works very well & the compact size makes it portable. Great value for the price.

Love the low price. To be honest the unit feels a little flimsy and cheap, but it works well as a small and unobtrusive way to play dvds borrowed from the library.
