• Avg. Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0

• Great bang for the buck!
  This is the second one I've bought over the last 6 months. Although I do a lot of purchasing here, I bought both a Walmart (couldn't beat the price).
  More and more units are coming out now that support the usb input, but higher dollar ones seem to fall short where this one excels. Pioneer's model is overly picky about what files it will play via usb, Sony detects copyright violation on a few movies(on homemade files?!). Philip's seems to play more files and formats than the rest.

• Good price - average product
  I wish there was a way to turn off the upconvert you can only cycle thru different resolutions. The menu is a bit clunky and somewhat difficult to navigate.

• Good, but not DVD Region agnostic
  I'm not a videophile, so take this with a grain of salt. I bought this unit in order to play a Region 1 DVD I couldn't get any way else. According to specs I read elsewhere (not on Amazon) this unit was supposed to fit the bill. Unfortunately, it doesn't. Region 0 only.
  In other respects, it's a decent unit. I wish the pause would hold longer before the unit starts to power down.

• Great DVD player - not great USB interface
  I bought this player with the intent to mostly watch upscaled regular DVD's as well as DivX/XviD movies on both a burned CD-R/DVD-R but also to watch from my USB thumb drive.
  Watching from DVD's is awesome, and I'd give this unit 5 stars if I never used the USB function. But I do, and when I watch movies via USB, the video is choppy, and if there is any fast motion it starts stammering both video and audio. In addition, if you'd like to review/rewind a bit or fast-forward forget-about-it! It basically... more info
