Magnavox DP100MW8B Progressive scan DVD player

Well, I must disagree with reviewer "Alydes" who complains of buzzing in the audio. I respectfully suggest this chap check his audio cables because I see absolutely no evidence of such a problem. This is often times caused by a poor ground somewhere in the link of connections. No sound problems on my installation.

My gripe is this DVD player suffers from STUTTERS. I've only had this a few days and for the first hour or so, it played great. Picture quality exactly on par with my expensive Samsung DVD burner. Naturally, for $30, one does not get all the creature features that come with more expensive units, and it does not burn disks, but I knew all that before making the purchase. No complaint. But after a couple hours, and letting the unit just run to see what it does, I started noticing STUTTERS, in both video and audio.

Now, this is the same disk that had played flawlessly 15 minutes earlier. What on earth is going on here? I eject the first disk, try another...Read more

This was our DVD player for the tiny TV upstairs. It was rarely used and bit the dust after just 6 months. For the short amount of time that it worked, it was a great bargain. Then it died. So it goes.

I can't even remember how long I've had this but it has to be around 2-3 years now. This works better than any other player I've owned & has never given me any grief. And my household gives this thing a workout! It gets used anywhere from 3-10 hours a day. I love the fact that it goes into standby mode if you have it paused for a long time, and then it shuts itself off if it goes for an even longer amount without any use. Sometimes it gets a tad noisy but nothing that is overbearing or that noticeable during playback. I'm totally happy with this purchase and would buy it again. If you can't afford a flashy expensive player or just don't want to spend the money, don't bother. This little guy is great :)
