A cheap but OK prerecorded DVD playback machine.
NOT for user burned DVDs. This is a quote from their
customer services:
"The thing is, is that this unit will not play "burned" DVD's, just regular DVD movies

They are not kidding. Skips and hangs are common on
all recordable DVD formats. I tried various brands of
media, different recording speeds and even the
bitsetting for DVD-ROM. Nothing works consistently.

Beware that the VHS "record" button is right next to
the "stop" button on the remote.

Comments:
Plays DVD/VHS fine. VHS Player is awesome - really fine tracking so even the jumpiest of video tapes play correctly if recorded on another lower quality unit that might not have the heads working correctly.

Tried DVD-R and DVD+R and so far most have skipped in either the beginning/end of the movie - it really depends on the situation. If you backup with menus it can crash out of the menu and then you can play the movie by pushing the Play button. It's touch and go and the unit really doesn't work well with DVDR media of any variety from what I can tell. These same movies play fine in the computer, a Polaroid DVD-Player I also own, and X-Box.

I got one yesterday from Bestbuy. It's manufactured in May 2003. Did the VCD & SVCD hack as described by the other posts. I can play both VCD and SVCD fine, but couldn't get fast forward/backward function to work for VCD from the remote control. Every time I press the >>| button, the VCD will stop playing. That's my only gripe; otherwise, it's an excellent player for the money.

Also known as Allegro ABV341.

Excellent unit for the price. I have tested the PAL->NTSC conversion and it is basically flawless. VCD/SVCD requires hack.

Good cheap unit. Best Buy's webpage claims VCD compatibility, but there is also a hack available. I have no VCDs to check it out myself. Works with a range of CD-R media, including 80 min.
