I bought 2 of these players about 2 years ago (2003). Both failed within the past six months. I tried to clean the lens with windex and qtip, but that didn't work.

Electronics seem to be working; but the transport is not reading the discs.

Error message on screen is always bad disc.

I got this at Fry's for $25 the Friday before Columbus day. It has played everything I put in it with out even a hic-cup. It even played an improperly authored DVD (I bought on the steets of LA for $5)that would not play in any other player I have tried.
I read a previous posters report about the Matrix Lobby Scene test. I must have a newer version player because mine played the scene fine. I like the look of the interface and the remote.
It switches between Interlace, Progressive scan,RGB and S-vid on the fly which is very good for comparison tests.
The compact slim-line look is very ritzy, makes it look like a more expensive player.
Works better than my Sony, and 2 Apex players I have.

Bot this player at Fry's for $50. Used Fuji DVD-R 8X, worked on some, didnt on others. Same with DVD+R Fuji 4X. This player is junk, keep having to burn multiple DVD's to see which one works. Even skips on original movies too. Wish I still had the receipt, would return. Will be replacing the player, more trouble than the small savings.

I bought dvd-215 in korea at the P.X(a store for american soldiers living in a camp)

the problem is that dvd made from korea can't be played because the code is different.

so i want it code-free by using remote controller(but i don't the how to do it.)
can you explain how to change the code?

Sometimes this player plays commercially produced disks without a hitch, but most of the time, it skips terribly, and there are times where I see artifacts from progressive scan on the screen. This was bought for us as a gift, but if I had bought it myself, I would retrun it. It is a terrible player not worth any amount of money.

It can play mpeg1 file from CD-RW but cannot from DVD+RW. Some DVD player can do.

got it for $35 at frys on sale. it played a simple disney disc reasonably for a while so i figured i'd give it the Matrix lobby scene test... It started hanging and skipping without any audio once they got into the elevator.

bad player. being returned. its cheap for a reason.

Comments:
Played VCDs from CD-Rs and CD-RWs just fine. Even played random SVCD & VCD files (MPEG-2 & MPEG-1) on a data disc (CD-R) without flaw. W/O SVCD formatting. Which I thought was odd. But cool.

Tried a disc that was burned with the VCD Header trick, and only the audio worked. Maybe it plays SVCD discs. I didn't try.

Tried discs with MP3 files on them, and the MP3s played perfectly. Even showed ID tag info while the song played. Didn't show long filenames though. Which was a bummer.

I'm returning the DVD player because it didn't play factory burned DVDs properly. I purchased brand new, uscratched copies of Pirates otC, and The Lion King: both jumped around every 15 minutes or so. I put both the discs in my Panasonic A120 (which is ~4 years old), and the discs played flawlessly.

I had paid 50 bucks, so maybe you get what you pay for. I'm going to purchase a "Philips DVD-727" as it appears to meet all my needs, is fairly cheap, and has gotten good reviews here.
