Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Initially, I had planned to write a much different review. The DVD player seems to be of nice quality and works perfectly with standard DVDs. While looking to replace my DVD player, I had certain specifications that needed to be met before I chose one: Affordable, nice quality, USB port, and capable of reading multiple video files and formats. As quoted in the description, "Incredibly versatile and multi-format-friendly, this DVD player can play back just about any DVD or CD you can throw at it," so this DVD player stuck out from the rest. I further researched the product to make sure it was capable of playing AVI, DIVX, and other video formats and those are listed on the company's product website. Upon receipt, I found the DVD player is very simple to set up and easy to use. It plays standard DVDs perfectly, but if you're trying to play a "burned" DVD it may not work. I thought something was wrong with my disc. I tried several more discs with the same formats listed on this product page including CDs but nothing would work other than standard DVDs. I doubled checked the company website to make sure that the DVD player supported AVI format and it clearly states it in the product description. However, upon reading the owner's manual, AVI and DIVX is supported... in the Canadian version of the product. I'm going to try converting and reformatting discs, but I'm not expecting them to work and if they do work, I'll update. I wish that I had known the American version of the product didn't support the formats listed above. The DVD player works if you only plan on using standard DVDs, but if you are planning to use other video formats, I would suggest you shop around. With the low prices of standard DVD players, I wouldn't have paid $40 bucks for this one but instead gone to Wal-Mart or even a dollar store. The USB port is pretty much useless unless want to use it to use it as a slide show viewer of JPEG images. I have not contacted the seller nor Amazon.
