Desay DVD Player (DS501) (DS501)
Poor design
1) The player turns itself off after a period of inactivity. That might be a good thing except for the way it does so. The on/off switch is an in/out button. When the button is in it is lit. It stays in and lit after the player turns itself off. Thus you get the situation another reviewer mentioned where it looks like it's on, but it doesn't work and you have to turn it off and back on.  <br /> <br />2) You can't get your disc out of the player if the power isn't on. <br /> <br />3) There is an unreasonable delay in opening the DVD drawer. There's no excuse for any delay, especially when there's no disc in the drive. <br /> <br />4) If there is a problem with a disc it's possible for the machine to spend several minutes trying to resolve it - even after you press eject. <br /> <br />5) I'm fed up with machines that do not have all of their controls on them and are required to be operated by remote. If it's on the remote, it should be on the machine.
