Samsung DVD-P401 Progressive-Scan DVD Player
Poor Quality Design
First of all, one of my selection criteria was I had 3 1/4 slot to put this in.  The specifications said&quot; Slimline - 2.6 inches tall&quot;.  Reality - it is 3.375 inches tall.  Must be using a different kind of ruler...<br />Now the design specifics:<br />* Very slow to load disks compared to my Sony downstairs - on the order of magnitude level.<br />* Frequently hangs up when playing CDs.  Seems to be the first time through the CD after waking up.  The solution is open the drawer and close it again.  Doesn't even error-correct, just sits there and clicks the stepper motor.<br />* The remote control is awkward to use, especially if lights are low.  For example: The big arrow buttons don't change the volume, you have to hit a tiny volume mode button that's mixed in with two rows of identically sized and shaped buttons.  Then you can change the volume.  But make sure to get it right, the volume mode times out and you'll have to find that little button again...<br />I could go on and on, I hate thoughtless bad design, but I have other things to do...
