One or two reviewers have mentioned this unit cuts out to a blank blue screen in the middle of a movie and won't resume: in fact, switching itself off, so you have to start all over. This happens to me sometimes; I have made all sorts of experiments to determine whether this is an overheating or outside interference problem or just a manufacturing fault; probably the latter. This is a great shame: otherweise it seems to do everything it ought at a reasonable price, with excellent picture and sharp sound, though the volume output is low and you need to turn up your TV or amplifier. And unlike some cheapies, it does have a RESUME feature: just press play, but if you have pressed stop twice, it reverts to beginning of disc. And you can open/shut tray from remote, which some £20-30 models don't allow. Out of the box it is Region 2 (Europe), but there is a ridiculously simple handset hack, as shown on this site, to make it region-free. Closing the disc door afterwards readies the device for all regions. And you don't need to worry whether your TV is modern enough to accept NTSC signals from Region 1 (N. America) discs: the Daewoo unit will automatically output PAL if SYSTEM button correctly set. (See handbook) Be warned there is no SCART lead with it, only a triple composite AV cord. If you want to do a simple hookup to your TV with SCART, giving best picture plus stereo ... Read More Rating:  - Daewoo equals so soI chose this DVD for the multi region aspect. I already own another multi region DVD player and it allows you to change regions so many times before it would stay on one region only. I keep it as PAL. I imagined I could do the same with this Daewoo DVD player but keep it as NTSC. When I discovered the Daewoo DVD only has two regions - '2' and 'All' and that it was suppose to count as 'multi-region', I was dismayed, so decided to send it back. Luckily I read the other review which explains how to change it to Region Free. The description in my view is a little misleading so you have been warned. When I eventually got it to play my American DVD's everything was perfect. The setup was easy, the vision was clear, the sound was acceptable - so apart from the region disappointment this DVD is just right for the price! Rating: - Good, not great, but goodFor £30ish quid, it's a decent machine... Sound is a bit weak which means you have to turn your telly up to get good audio, but the video is pretty crisp on both retail and dvd-r DVD's. It is Region2 out of the box, but if you do the following it'll make it Region Free: 1) Press Open on remote to open tray 2) Press the following keys on remote - 8, 2, 8, 6 and then 0 3) Press Open again to close tray Your player is now region free. Final word? You could do a lot worse for the money. Daewoo_DV900__Multi-regionDaewoo DV900 Multi-region Capable DVD Player with 2 channels | |
