  • Samsung DVD-N501 DVD Player With Nuon, MP3 And Color-Timing Errors

    Nov 21 '01
    Pros: Excellent sound, stylish, plays HDCD, MP3, "screen fit", features, zoom, price, Nuon
    Cons: Color timing issues, difficulties with scratched discs, somewhat soft picture

    Summary: The Samsung DVD-N501 is a new Samsung DVD Player with VM-Labs Nuon technology. It looks very hi-tech (as of the time of this writing, the picture on the product page of Epinions is incorrect). The Nuon processor that it incorporates is supposed to...

  • Buy something else

    Feb 11 '03
    Pros: Plays mp3; looks good
    Cons: Has a huge issue playing disks that are less than perfect

    Summary: This unit is old, but I see that some are still kicking around. My word of caution: buy something else. I got this for xmas 2001 and didn't have many discs to play, so never really used it to recently. If the disc has a scratch or a smudge or any...

  • Awesome DVD Player!

    Jun 17 '02
    Pros: Tons of Features, Good Inputs, Awesome Looking, VLM, Plays MP3s
    Cons: Color Changes, Features Aren't Perfect, No Progressive Scan

    Summary: The first thing you want to do is find the upgrade at samsung.com and download it. That was the first thing I did and it only froze once after the, but I think that was because I had it in 1x backwards with subtitles. After that I had no problems....

  • Worthwhile just for playing MP3s

    Sep 10 '01
    Pros: MP3 CD compatibility, including CD-RW
    Cons: Screen display when choosing / playing music

    Summary: My main reason for picking this player was its ability to play MP3s. In fact, I haven't even tried out a real DVD yet. In this review, I'll concentrate just on the music capabilities.

    The sound outputs are regular RCA jacks, so to hook up my...

  • Sumsung DVD-N501- Not worth the money.

    Aug 22 '01
    Pros: Has NUON capability, Slow motion play forward and reverse, on screen displays for mp3.
    Cons: Layer change is obvious, Audio becomes off-sync during movie, limited buttons on the front panel.

    Summary: When I was looking around for my first DVD player I found this player at best buy for $230. I compared it to the pioneers and the panasonics which had not nearly as many features for only about $20.00 less. So I decided to get this player because of...

  • Excellent player at an excellent price!

    Jul 22 '01
    Pros: Cool, unique DVD manipulation options Excellent MP3/Audio/CDR/VCD playback
    Cons: no progressive scan noticeable layer changes

    Summary: DVD playback is excellent and typical of other players. However, the player has a number of unique features that make you go "wow." The first is a 15X zoom feature that is effortless. The image retains excellent clarity during zooming. My favorite...
