Symphonic SD200E DVD/CD Player
Small Price and Size Don't Quite Compensate for Performance
This is a great little DVD player if your purposes are limited to playing original, commercial DVDs- especially if you are space conscious. It is small and weighs next to nothing.   <br /> <br />The picture quality rivaled my more expensive DVD player when compared on my 21 inch LCD TV.  I did not test it on a big screen TV. Hopefully, somebody who spends $1,000+ on a big screen will have the sense to spend more than $40 on a DVD player. <br /> <br />If you are looking for something that can play homemade DVDs or back-ups of commercial DVD's, this might not be the one for you.  My SD200E struggled with most DVDs that were on DVD-R media.  It either would not recognize the disc or it would sputter as it played making it quite unwatchable.  The specs say it will play DVD-R, so maybe I just had a bad unit. <br /> <br />If it performed better on DVD-R media and had a back-lit remote, I would have given it 5 stars.
