Samsung DVD611 DVD Player
Frame skips make this player a miss
I received a DVD611 recently as a birthday gift, but I'm returning it ...  Every DVD that I've played in the machine has exhibited frame skips at least twice per movie.  For me, this is annoying and disrupts the mood of a scene.  I end up wondering where the skips will occur on each movie I play.  The audio gain is also weak, at least through the analog RCA audio connectors (my TV doesn't support digital audio).  I would recommend this machine only to uncritical neophytes for whom the low price is the primary purchase factor.  They'll be impressed enough with the resolution and multiple connection options to disregard the skipping problem.  However, if you think the machine's quirks would irritate you (as they did me), spend a little more money and move up to something else.
