Review 1 of 22

Price Paid:  $0.00

Summary:
This is a terrible DVD player. I have exchanged it 3 times (I wanted to get something else, but they would only let me get the same player) and always the same problem, it gets stuck and will not play my DVDs.

Review 3 of 22

Price Paid:  $5.00 from Best Buy

Summary:
A Large Paperweight.... This thing is probably the best way to waste money. I've had the same experience as everyone else... Plays for an hour or less if you're lucky. I recieved it as a gift. It looks like a quality piece of equipment but do not be fooled!

Strengths:
Plays CDs ok.

Weaknesses:
Doesn't Play DVDs, doesn't shuffle CDs, must manually change CDs/DVDs, Does not support MP3 playback or any of those cool new features available on 50-dollar DVD players...

Similar Products Used:
Just Purchased an RCA DRC220N to replace this thing. It seems to work well... I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Review 4 of 22

Price Paid:  $0.00

Summary:
I too have fallen into the trap. Same problem - works for about 1 hour then freezes, skipps and has a fit. Thought it might be heat related...removed the cover and used an external fan...still failed.

Strengths:
None that comes to mind.

Weaknesses:
The whole thing is a pile of junk.

Similar Products Used:
Replaced it with another different make. Works great all the time. Wouldn't wish this "thing" on an enemy.

Review 5 of 22

Price Paid:  $0.00

Summary:
Same as everybody else... This DVD skips after playing for a while, won't play CDRs, and is painfully slow to do anything. It amazes me that so many people complained about this product to philips and they do nothing to help the next victim.

Strengths:
Remote fits well in my anus.

Weaknesses:
The DVD player does not fit well.

Marantz MA-9S2 Reference Series Power Amplifiers Review

Marantz MA-9S2 Power AmplifierThe list above has one tenet that I continue to hold true: high powered amplifiers are necessary to reproduce the full dynamic range of music with most speakers. This became apparent when I changed from the 100 Watt per channel Bella Extreme 100 to the 250 Watt.....

Lowther’s DX-65 driver in the Teresonic Magus XR Review

A new driver from Lowther is real news. A new five inch driver is even rarer news, so it was with great anticipation that I waited on this pair of speakers to arrive.

Aune Mini Headphone DAC User Review

The unit arrived from China well packed and everything seem to be in place. No external abuse by the carriers. The only problem was the power supply it came with. The box came with a cheap step-down converter.

Aural Symphonics Chrono b2 balanced interconnects Review

The Aural Symphonics Chrono b2 is more a study in contrasts than most cables. Chrono b2 refers to balanced version 2.
