Funai Symphonic SD300D DVD Player , Black
Good value
This is a basic, inexpensive DVD player that plays NTSC DVD (Region 1 or ALL only), DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW; MP3 and audio CDs.  It does not support the intermediate VCD or SVCD formats, or PAL encoding.      The DVD player's pause and sleep functions do not work particularly well.  If you pause the DVD player for too long, it will turn itself off and lose your place in the movie.  If you forget to turn off the DVD player, it will fall asleep but may require that you pull out the power cord to reset the player.    While the Funai Symphonic SD300D player is a good value, consumers may find DVD players that also play PAL-encoded discs (great for multi-cultural families); and DivX (for compressed movies), VCD and SVCD formats (to view content from the many people who still only have CD burners), for not much more money.
