 Don't waste your money March 26, 2010

I bought two of these at JCPenney and the DVD player quit working on both of them within days. One of them started smoking when I placed the DVD on hold for a minute. They have both been returned and it's no longer available on the website, most likely due to multiple returns.

Both the sound quality and video display are as good as one can expect for the price-- not bad but certainly not great. My only complaint is that the credit card sized remote control is awful. Labels on the keys are printed in gray, making them hard to read against the black background (small type and minimal contrast make them impossible to read in low light). Most of the time the keys need to be pressed several times before they respond. To avoid frustration, I taught the remote commands to a learning universal remote (URC RF20).
On the positive side, the boom box accepts both commercially and home recorded versions of CD's and DVD's-- including music and audiobooks I recorded on DVD-R disks. Sound levels are louder than I expected and the video display is quite bright.

This product is a super-low-end DVD player merged with a super-low-end boombox. It doesn't really manage to do either job properly, as you would expect from a poorly designed, cheaply made product. Video quality is lousy (the screen is very low resolution) and audio quality matches (no bass, lots of distorsion). For such a simple device, the designer managed to organize the controls in an utterly puzzling, illogical way that only gearheads can be expected to make sense of.
Of course, it's not that expensive, but considering you're probably going to end up doing what I did and throw it away, it may be simpler and easier to just burn a Benjamin and be done with it. It's easier on the environment and less frustrating. Whatever this is selling for today, it's still too much money.
 Would be fantastic, but... November 23, 2009

I bought this through a different seller on Amazon, who, thankfully, operated with Amazon's refund/return policy, which is phenomenal. I thought it would be great for my daughter. It arrived promptly (from a different seller, mind you) and appeared to be in good condition. I set it on the table, put in a DVD for my daughter, and halfway through the movie it stopped working. The DVD player would spin up after that, but would say "Invalid Format" or something like that every time. The other functions seemed to work well, but after using nearly all possible formats of DVD/CD (DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RAM, CD-R, and SVCD, as well as 3 or 4 original DVDs), cleaning the lens, and reseting all of the options to factory defaults, it simply would no longer accept a DVD.
It was a great idea, and I'd love to someday get one that will work, but not this particular product. The seller gave me a full refund.
This, by the way, is a great example of why I refuse to buy anything from Amazon that doesn't have the Amazon refund/return policy. Everyone else has a fee of some sort, including the current seller above--theirs is something like you can't get a full refund unless the product is unopened. Good luck seeing if it works before you open it! You can take your chances, but I don't recommend this product without a full refund option.

I bought it last week. I was so upset with the sound that I didn't played any songs or movies till now. Don't waste your money.
