Memorex MVD2027 DVD Player

Pros: Affordable, many desirable features, available at Target...
Cons: Poor reliability, 90-day warranty, remote is difficult to navigate...

I purchased this unit as a Christmas gift for the family. It is my first and only experience with a consumer level DVD player. I read the previous review in epinions and went against my gut and purchased this DVD player. I guess I trusted the Memorex...

Pros: Ummm...let me get back to you on that.
Cons: Unreliable, frustrating, and overpriced by about $87.

'Tis the season for brand names like Daewoo and Nakamichi.

In just a few weeks, shoppers will flock to the nearest BestBuy or Circuit City in search of the best after-Thanksgiving bargain. Attracted by flashy ads for $69.99 DVD players ("First...

Pros: It plays DVD's at first
Cons: Everything

This thing is garbage. If you got one as a gift ask for the receipt and take it back. If you bought one, take it back. If you know someone that bought one, take it back.

These things are garbage.

A few points:

- NOT...

Pros: A great deal for the money (I paid $89.00).
Cons: Limited bells and whistles - but what else can you expect for this price?

Pros: Inexpensive, MP3 compatible, Component Video Outputs
Cons: Remote conflicts with Receiver remote

The biggest initial problem was with the setup trying to use the component video out. It...

Pros: Does everything it should. Plays DVD-R, DVD+R, CD-RW, even MPEG, JPG and MP3.
Cons: Doesn't work with most universal remotes.

I think the previous reviewer didn't spend enough time reading the instructions or even looking closely at the DVD remote. There is a button on the remote that will lock the front panel controls. This will prevent the kiddies from opening the DVD player. It apparently prevents some adults from opening the DVD player too.

I've owned this model for almost 2 years and it has never failed to perform flawlessly.

Works well I haven't had any problems. Sound and picture quality is good. Also Plays MP3s, and VCDs and has a screen saver.
