Samsung DVD711 DVD Player
Samsung DVD Model 711 - AVOID !!  AVOID!!   AVOID!!
My wife and I received this as a wedding gift and really apreciated the gesture at the time. We have now owned this miserable excuse for a DVD player for over a year and have successfully watched maybe 3 DVD's out of dozens without it skipping and refusing to play the disk. I've heard stories about the US versions of this player skipping and the European one doesn't but don't take a chance.  It skips on new and used DVD's.  I can't think of many things more frustrating than finally finding that movie you have been wanting to see for weeks in the video store and renting it only to have it stop playing 3/4 of the way through. ... Do yourself a favor - don't buy one of these.
