Samsung DVD511 DVD Player
great intro to DVDs, but skips WAY too much
We received this DVD player through our travel agent when we booked our cruise.  So our expectations where small, but it performed great on our first DVD we bought the day we picked up the player, Gladiator.  Great picture, great sound, especially off of a stereo!  That is until half way through the movie when the skipping made the movie almost unbearable.  <br />We thought it was the &quot;free DVD player&quot; quality having problems changing tracks (a problem people at my work told me about), but it would skip at any given time in the movie, at different times on the same DVD, and would be worse or better with no reason why.  Worse off, as we rented and bought more DVDs, the skipping didn't stop.  On every DVD we watched, the skipping was terrible.  <br />This week it was the worst.  I borrowed X-Men, and I hit the player twice I was so mad!  Hey, it worked for my old TV, why not the player?  Nope, no such luck. :&lt;<br />So after reading about the player here (thank you for the information), I'm now bringing it to a local Samsung repair shop to hopefully get back to watching great movies!<br />Other than the skipping, the player is fantastic!  If it wasn't for the cruise, we would never own a DVD player.  Now, when we won't do without one!
