Fast Loading, plays all but MKV & WMV ; Odd combination AVI container files even play ; Excellent at handling DVD's as well ; Fast code to make this region free

Needs a smarter interface ; The indexing is poor ; Must keep the file names & folders short or they run off the screen ; There are good hardware updating hacks around, but be wary unless you have experience with these & are willing to part with your...

Worked great, while it worked. USB, HDMI, DVD player all worked perfectly

I've now owned 2 of these models, bought from two different big box stores. Both have completely died over time. The current unit will not power up although it does have power supplied to it. My advice is to stay away from these DVD players. Shabby,...

I ordered the 5990 and Newegg shipped it fast before Xmas

They sent me the wrong unit (5990/F7) which spoiled my holiday

Excellent DVD player, great quality images through HDMI upconversion, properly maintains aspect ratio at 4:3 when that format is played. Plays everything I have tried from the USB port: videos and music in many formats

All video content played from USB is stretched to 16:9 format. Same buttons on remote used for chapter selection and searching. Sometimes, if you are not careful to hold down the button long enough, you end up switching chapters instead of searching -...

Great DVD player for the price. The main selling point for me was the ability to set (unlock) this to Region 0 so that I can play movies from other regions. I did not have to upgrade firmware to do this

Region 1 was default. Still cannot skip past all commercials & warnings on a DVD

EVERYTHING!! It plays my DVD's just fine, but this player really shines when it comes to its USB port and onboard decoding skills! I've had this for maybe 2 months now, and I bought a 750GB WD external hard drive that I leave attached via USB. So far...

Only one thing... the USB drives files isn't sorted by name as I would prefer, but instead it apparently sorts by the time a file is added. A quick fix, however time-consuming, is to make a new folder, then move all of yours files and folders to the...

Plays all kinds of formats from disc or from USB. Great quality picture and sound. Upconvert makes a huge difference. Quiet. Remote batteries included and apparently last forever. Unbelievably convenient for watching divx/xvid "backups" straight from...

Only 32x fast forward, fast forward barely works on certain WMV formats, will not read h264 format (freezes and sometimes must be unplugged if you try). A bit of lag between remote control inputs and action, say when skipping tracks on a list of MP3s,...

Great DVD player. You will need to buy your own HDMI cable ; I really enjoy the ability to play from external USB (FAT-formatted) media ; I am able to hook up my 120 Gb iPod Classic (and a couple of flash drives) and skip burn-to-DVD media step
