Samsung DVD-N501 Nuon DVD Player
...
I really like this DVD player.  Not only for what it is, but what it can be.  This is the first DVD that I know to have the ability to update the BIOS.  What does this mean?  My DVD player had a problem with skipping.  I...downloaded software to fix it.  Problem solved.  How sweet is that?<br />This unit can also play MP3 and regular music CD's with a great animated screen.<br />You can make changes to sound, subtitles and other features while you are actually watching your movie.  Great feature.<br />There are two problems I have with this unit.<br />1. I found out about the BIOS upgrade through a newsgroup...  I heard many people had returned their units because they thought it was defective.  That's VERY silly.  If they simply notified the stores and users they'd have that many more customores...<br />2. MP3 Player needs improvement.<BR>   a)Song titles are not displayed completely.  This is a pain when you are trying to select which of Steview Wonder's songs you want to listen to.<br />    b)Songs can only be played in sequential order.  Trust me.. this is very annoying when you make a CD of over hundred songs.<br />    c)Song titles are not displayed, even briefly, during the animated screens...<br />All in all, I recommend this unit.  If you agree with the faults I've identified write a letter and send an e-mail.  I think they can fix the MP3 features with a BIOS upgrade ( I hope).<br />I hope this helps..
