Konka KD1800U1 DVD Player
Replace the batteries in remote, it may help
The sound and picture are great for this player. This player is very good looking. And it is elegantly simple. It doesn't have component video outputs because 99% people who buy a sub $200 player don't own a high-end TV with component video inputs. As others have pointed out, response to remote command is slow and you have to press buttons hard. But it gets alot better after I replace the batteries with a pair of fresh Energizer. There is slight noise when playing a DVD, not loud like others people have described. The noise is just as loud as my Sony VCR. Also when I adjust picture parameters on my panasonic TV while playing a movie, the player frozen and I have to reset it by unplugging. I am not sure whether this will happen with other TVs, but it's not a big problem since I don't adjust picture parameters often and I can do it while movie is not playing.
