Norcent DP300 DVD Player , Silver
Mom's right- you get what you pay for
:::GOOD:::<BR>(Like)<BR>+ I have yet to have any issues with this machine. It plays very well.<BR>+ It's cheap and get's the job done.<br />:::BAD:::<BR>(Definitely do not like)<BR>- The remote batteries die almost instantly. I think there must be some capacitive leak or something. Haven't had this warrantied YET but will try. Honestly they don't last more than a day or two max.<br />:::UGLY:::<BR>(Unexpected, but not necessarily bad)<BR>* There is no LCD display on this unit. Sure the picture doesn't show one but it was one of those things I didn't notice was gone till I went to use it. My fault. Not a huge deal. But [apparently] I like to use it more than I thought because I noticed it gone right away... &quot;Is it playing? paused? ... oh it just takes a long time to *load*!&quot;<BR>* No menu options without remote. This seems common with DVD players and for the life of me I can't figure out why. Ordinarily it's not a big deal but when your remote doesn't work (see: BAD), it's a real bummer. You're limited to the first menu option, which thankfully, is usually &quot;Play.&quot;<BR>* Want optical output? Keep looking because you won't find it here.<br />If you want cheap and aren't concerned with loads of frills- this is your machine.
