Zenith DVD2381 Progressive-Scan DVD Player
Skip
Lesson learned.  I purchased this player without having a DVD disc with me to test it.  The main reason that I purchased it was the pirce and the progressive scan feature.  I setup this player in no time and played a new movie The One and noticed that the image would pause for about five seconds.  I own a Toshiba and it never did this, os I tested the player using The Martix and the player would skip over scenes or skip ahead five seconds in a scene.  Someone would be talking and then it would skip to another scend five seconds ahead.  I also could not get this player to play a mp3 file and I tried more than one type of disc and different formats and it would not play.  I also ran a dirty disc test, by touching my nose and placing my oily finger prints over the disc and inserted in to the player and the player froze and would not open the tray or turn off.  I had to disconect the power a few times and pressing the open button it finally open, a good player should play a disc with finger prints on it with no problems. I do like the features on this player, but what good are they if you can't watch a move wihtout it skipping or jumping ahead in scenes or pausing during playback.  Zenith states that the player is software upgradeabel, but a visit to the website didn't list any info on this at all and the website didn't list a tech support number to help with this problem.  I will return this player and try another.
