Price Paid:  $200.00 from N/A

Summary:
I purchased this 2200 new and I am sure that I paid top dollar, but it was a zenith, and I have had good luck and experences with zenith, however, this dvd player has a bad skip problem from day one, after 1 hour or more of playing. The longer it plays the worse it gets.

Strengths:
With the skip problem, that pretty much takes out any strengths that the unit might have, who wants a dvd player that skips on every disk.

Weaknesses:
This is a poor product and should never have been released. This speaks volumes about zenith's quility control process, as I am not the only one with this problem. Shame on you Zenith !!!

Summary:
Well so far this has played every DVD. I own the Matrix and have watched it many times without any problems. I have played approximately 30 movies on it so far. I got a big universal remote with it that is really nice. I don''t know the model year or what firmware is in it, but it has been a very good addition to my Home Theatre. From what I gather it wasn''t that expensive either. I think around $200. canadian. My wife bought it for me as a Xmas gift. If I have any problems I will post another review.

Strengths:
No problems

Weaknesses:
Doesn''t play CD_R or VCD

Summary:
First DVD player. The price was quite low for the time (1999). First DVD played in the machine skipped badly and this was a NIB machine and a NIB disc. Cleaning did not help on some DVD's it just skipped, the Matrix skipped and hung BADLY in several places and TRAFFIC was unwatchable. A newer DVD machine purchased in 2001 played all movies flawlessly and before finding this page I had banished it to CD duty only. I will get the firmware upgraded and see how it works then.
Thanks to those who provided the ph # and contact info!
