Strength:
MP3 Player even though not advertised!
Weakness:
Freezes, and skips on DVDs as well as MP3 disks. I got this product as a freebie when I purchased my big screen HDTV. It first I was very excited that this unit could play MP3 even though the box, manual or anything on the machine did not claim it!!! It even displayed the 1st 6 characters of the song names on the TV screen. Similar Products Used: Pioneer |

Samsung DVD Player This replacement player finally came(around 1-15-01) after a few weeks delay from the promised date and paying $50. This unit is not much different from the very disappointing 927. The picture is clear, sound acceptable. As evident from previous reviews, the unit has problems reading dual layered discs. In fairness, compared to the 927, it freezes less. I can hear the disc spinning from 10 feet away. I am not sure if it is just me but I noticed a delay in response with the remote. I think around 1 second. I like the button layout on the remote except for the joystick in the middle that does not seem to work when I move it. Bottom line, I am still unhappy about this player. Samsung has not learned from their mistakes. I am not going to waste my time to call Samsung about it again. I am done with their company. Stay away from Samsung DVD players. I am giving it 2 for value since Samsung was good enough to replace my 927. Similar Products Used: Replacement for my POS Samsung 927, Sony |

Strength:
none This model has a flawed logic board which causes frequent freezing and skipping. Samsung is unable to correct the problem and has discontinued the model. I have spent the last four months "negotiating" a replacement. |

Strength:
Good picture if it doesn't skip.
Weakness:
Skips, locks up. It is a bugger. Bad damn DVD player. I'm not going to waste my time writing about it. Shoddy at best. Criminal of Samsung at worst. |

Strength:
NONE
Weakness:
Reliability. Picture freezes and sometimes the player can not read the DVD. From my experience, this is not a good DVD player. Every movie I have tried to play freezes. It is very sensitive to finger prints on the DVD etc... To get the unit to even recognize some DVDs, I have to clean the disk first. I also have a Marantz DV-7010 and this player is flawless. Anything the Samsung can't play the Marantz handles without a problem. If you are looking to purchase this player, keep away and look elsewhere. Similar Products Used: Marantz DV-7010 |
