Konka KD1800U1 DVD Player
Konka DVD
All I wanted was a basic DVD unit for playback. I have a 32&quot; Sony hooked up to a standard component stereo system. The Konka unit delivers  superior reproduction of sound and video with all the functions I could  ever want. As a matter of fact, I am trying to figure out what it is the  expensive units do that this one doesn't.<br />However, there are 3 small  problems.  1. I can't turn the unit on with the remote control. I have to  turn it on at the player itself, even if the red-light is lit. 2. Response  to the remote is slow, sometimes causing me to punch the buttons again and  again (I don't need to; it will eventually accept any legitimate command).  But if I repeatedly enter the same command, it will.... 3. Respond with the  on-screen warning &quot;invalid operation&quot;. Which will sometimes go  away and sometimes freeze up the unit. Pushing the command buttons in the  wrong sequence will also sometimes cause the same problem. <br />Experience  with the remote will solve almost all the minor annoyances of 2 and 3.<br />I  would recommend it to a friend, but I would tell them about the  software-like learning curve. I am happy with the unit, but also wanted to  tell others what they might expect. <br />Also, the aluminum case is quite  attractive. The player is solid. It is easy to hook-up<br />PM
