PIECE OF JUNK

Mine didn't even last a year.The warranty is useless.Akai's customer service is non-existent.After only 9 months it wouldn't play my dvds; it wouldn't turn on; it wouldn't eject the media that was contained inside.I had to take the blasted thing apart just to get my dvd out.It's a waste of money....

Fine DVD player for the price

This DVD player has an easier to use remote control than my other DVD players (GoVideo & Sony PS/2).The only quirk is that the Open/Close button on the player is ignored for a few seconds after the Power On button is pressed.I've had it for 9 months and watched a lot of DVDs with no problems....

you don't even get what you pay for

I only watch movies once in blue moon, and so didn't want to invest in a fancy dvd player. I've had the product for half a year, and only watched a dozen or so movies in that time. And it is no longer working. Not to mention that I had to exchange the first one they sent me (wasn't working at all). The second one only lasted 6 months, and didn't work right either. I agree with another reviewer that brightness keeps going from very bright to very dark every 10 seconds or so, with most dvds....

This DVD player stinks!

This DVD player is a big disappointment.First off, when you eject a DVD, the tray does not even clear the roof of the player the entire way, so if you have a 2 sided DVD, the top of it gets all scratched, and since they have yet to develop a scratch resistant DVD this is a very bad thing.Secondly, you can't even turn off the power with the remote, you have to use a manual button on the player itself that looks like it's from the '80s. [...] I'd highly suggest moving on to the next DVD player on...
