Astar DVD-3800 Progressive Scan DVD Player
Terrible purchase
I bought this DVD player for my parents as a gift as I had read good reviews elsewhere.  Unfortunately this one is either a dud or the product itself is utter crap.  The flimsy remote control appears to be defective.  Most of the buttons do not work, particularly the critical one needed for setup of the device.  Play button worked sometimes, power button sometimes would start the dvd instead of turning the player off.  Additionally, the best picture I was able to obtain was a jumpy, fuzzy black and white image. <br /> <br />Tech support was a joke.  The first day I tried calling three or four times, getting a busy signal each time.  The second day I reached a live person who took my name and phone number and promised to have a tech call me.  Two days later, no return phone call yet.  Today I called again and now I can only get an answering machine.  So much for their included flyer \\"please call us before considering returning product.\\"  Good luck trying to get hold of these people!  I am on my way to the post office to send this thing back to Amazon now.
