Norcent DP300 DVD Player , Silver
VERY GOOD DEAL!
This player is worth every dollar. I have owned this player for 6 months. I bought it because my $800 Sony DVD player stopped working after only 3 years of use. Overall, this player is actually better than my Sony was. Yes, you read correctly. This player is better than my Sony! It is better for many reasons. The Norcent can play DVDs, CDs, CDRs, and even Kodak picture cds. My Sony could NOT play CDRs or Kodak picture cds. Also, the Norcent barely pauses when the layers are changing. Most of the time I don't even notice the layer change at all! With the Sony the layer change was very noticable. It would take at least half a second to change layers in the middle of the movie. This was always very annoying. The Norcent is a nice silver color which makes it very classy looking. I did have a brief problem with the player one day. Everytime I put in a DVD the subtitles would automatically  come on and I had to turn them off. Also, the DVD would stop and then refuse to play at all. I fixed these problems by simply unplugging the player for 1 minute and replugging it in again. By doing this I reset the players settings and I have not had these problems since. I guess it was a fluke event. I doubt it will ever happen again. My biggest complaint about the Norcent is that in very dark movie scenes I can notice a lot of distortion in the background. This is annoying if you are watching a horror movie. If it wasn't for this problem the player would be perfect. Most people will be very satisfied with buying this player. Unfortunatly, I am planning to buy a different player because I am picky about the distrotion. I will likly end up spending a $1000 or more for a high-end player. Few people would feel the need to do this. I just happen to be a very picky person. Overall, if you are an average consumer you can't go wrong with this player. BUY IT!
