Samsung DVD-P230 Progressive Scan DVD Player
The DVD player stops reading DVD's after 25 uses
I am another unsatisfied customer of this Samsung DVD player. I purchased this on August 28, 2003. The quality of the image was fair (not nearly as good as my new Sony DVD player) and I rarely used the player initially (about once every month to once every other month). <br /> <br />In early October of 2004 I purchased an unlimited DVD rental with Hollywood video so I started watching movies every other day. I received a defective DVD from them called \\"The Johnson Family Vacation.\\" The Samsung DVD player could not play it and I removed it after 2 minutes. I checked with my computer DVD player and confirmed the DVD was bad. <br /> <br />I placed another movie in the DVD player and it would not play. I tried a third and it refused. I turned the player off and on, unplugged it and tried other things and still it would not read the DVD. I thought about buying a DVD cleaner, but since this is about the 25th DVD I have ever played in the player, I figure it can't possibly be that dirty. <br /> <br />Upon reading all the other reviews with respect to this player, I determined that this model is a lemon. The fact that Samsung has released this lemon on the market concerns me and I will avoid purchasing another Samsung DVD player. <br /> <br />Worse, the DVD player conveniently broke several months after the warranty expired. Shame on Samsung for ever selling this model of their DVD players. Samsung normally makes good consumer products, so I was stunned reading all the other reviews complaining about this exact same problem.
