Insignia IS-PD040922 7-inch 16:9 Widescreen Portable DVD Player
not so great
Insignia 7\\" portable DVD player: <br />First one I bought was an \\"open box\\" for $79.99 at Future Shop end of November '05 (they were out of them at the $99.99 sale price & ensured me the open boxes were fine in every way & would be replaced over the counter with a new one if there were any problems). <br /> <br />I had uncertanties about the player, ... sometimes in playing it would skip, freeze, garble the music.  I would press stop & then it wouldn't play again unless I took the disc right out & put it in again.  The last straw was when I turned it on one day & the Insignia opening screen was all garbled -- & still garbled when I put a disc in.  Later in the day it worked fine, but I just didn't trust it any more. <br /> <br />Early in January 2006, when I returned it to the store, they said I would have to replace it for another \\"open box\\".  Which of course I wasn't thrilled about after having problems. <br /> <br />There were no \\"open boxes\\" around, so I grabbed a new one.  They then insisted I'd have to pay the difference between the $79.99 & the current price of $149.99!!  I argued & after \\"talking to a manager\\" around the corner, they charged me the difference between what the sale price was back when I bought it, compared to the open box price.  Not what they told me when I bought it. <br /> <br />The new player I picked up seems to have problems too?  I've used it a couple times now.  The reviews all seem quite good for this player over at the Future Shop site (but then they apparently don't post any bad reviews!!!?)  I am interrupted when I watch this dvd player, so I use the pause & stop button.  I then very often can not get it to play again!!  Have to open & close it/sometimes have to take the disc right out.  Does anybody else have this problem? <br /> <br />Otherwise, the picture is good, sounds all right & can be connected to speakers through the headphone jack.
