(This top portion is my earlier review when I had given it two stars instead of one)
The door only opens about two-thirds of the way, making it very difficult to get a DVD into it without scratching it, especially since it has a very narrow opening to begin with. I dread putting double-sided DVDs into it for fear of scratching them. When I first opened the DVD case I found the DVD player to have huge chunks of greece on it which I had to clean off, and believe me it wasn't easy. The remote buttons don't always work right. And when I played my first DVD in it, I heard a loud bang come from the DVD player, then my DVD froze, and I couldn't get the DVD player to work until I unplugged it and plugged it back in again. But after that it started working good, and luckily I haven't had any problems with it since then. And so far, I haven't scratched any of my DVDs, but then again I'm always EXTREMELY careful when putting my DVDs in and taking them out for fear of it. And I've got to admit I've had worse DVD players, but I still do NOT recommend this one!
(This is my one star review)
I take it back. This IS the worst dvd player I've ever had. Now it's ruining my dvds. I've had dvd players break before, but they never put unfixable scratches in them when I played them. I take real good care of my dvds, and this dvd player is putting the worst scratches in them I've ever seen. And I've seen some pretty bad ones because I like to check out library dvds that have been used by a lot of people lots of times. And the scratches caused by my dvd player are the worst ones I've ever seen. It will completely ruin your dvds. You can put a dvd in it that has absolutely no scratches at all, then when it starts to play it the dvd starts to skip, and when you take it out, it has some really, and I mean really, bad scratches on it.
NOT NOT RECOMMENDED!!!
