Oritron DVD200 DVD Player

Pros: All Region Play, VCD Play, Can Play 'loaded' DVDs
Cons: Some sound glitches on 'loaded' DVDs

So lets be honest, the player does not have the name appeal of other DVD players. If you buy this player, its because it is very affordable. There are advantages of the ORITRON DVD-200 over other affordable DVD players. The construction of the DVD player...

Pros: very inexpensive, easy to use, simple setup and operation, good picture and sound quality
Cons: small buttons on the remote, needs good ventilation, kinda buggy at times

Yeah, I was one of those crazy shoppers around Xmas time searching for THE DEAL on a good DVD player. I was also one of those financially embarrassed shoppers in need of an inexpensive DVD. 800.com had the super sale on DVD's with MSN passport discount...

Pros: cheap, has all basic features
Cons: not professional quality by a long shot

First of all, No - this DVD player is not the cure for cancer.

The Story…

I admit that I am a bargain hunter - I love to shop for sale items, especially when it comes to electronics. There's nothing that I like to see more...

Pros: Good picture and sound quality, cheap price
Cons: Firmware defects, bad customer service, cheap remote

The Oritron DVD200 is a sneaky little devil. When it first came out of the box - I loved it. I slowly grew to loathe the thing and the Oritron brand.

Initial impressions of the unit were good. It was a notch or two above the quality I was...

Pros: Cheap, plays VCDs (with special code), some CD-RW media
Cons: Doesn't read CDR media

When the DVD player in my computer started to die, I needed a player. I needed it fast and I needed it cheap. At the time, the DVD200 was the best deal at $150 through 800.com (free shipping at the time, no tax).

After having used it...

Pros: Low price, great picture and sound.
Cons: Slow to load disc. No screen saver.

I was not even looking to buy a DVD player for at least another 12 months. As with most electronics, I have watched DVD player prices slowly decrease as the features keep getting better. However; when I came across this unit at 800.com at such a super...

Pros: Good price, good quality
Cons: hard to find because of the good price

I was not prepared for the quality we received when purchasing the DVD 200 from Oritron. My husband wanted to purchase a cheap one to see what the difference was only to be surprised at the quality we got. We love watching movies on this and enjoy now...

Pros: Played 3 DVD's
Cons: Never played any more

I too purchased this item through 800.com for $64 back in November..I read reviews & felt confident that I was getting a lower grade model of DVD Players, but at least one that would work!! We did get to watch 3 DVD's & then when we tried to...

Pros: Inexpensive.
Cons: No bells or whistles. This is the most 'vanilla' DVD player you'll ever see.

I can say nothing truly good or bad about the Oritron 200 DVD player. It is the definition of "mediocre." But in not being good people may choose to consider it bad. This would be a disservice.

It works well, and is cheap. I...

Pros: Price and features
Cons: None come to mind

I bought this DVD mainly for the price and features ($129 from 800.com including shipping, loved the free popcorn that was also packed in the box)

Now keep in mind this is my first DVD but after reading newsgroups and opinions, I knew what I...

Pros: Did not work
Cons: Inexpensive

I have very little to say about this player, I purchased it from 800.com in November (for just under $65 thanks to MSN and 800.com promotions) although it was listed for $119. I have watched one DVD on it (Highlander) and after that it refused to turn...

Pros: Low price($85.00), Attractive styling that sets it apart from the masses.
Cons: Poor remote ergonomics and vague owners manual.

Last xmas I asked my wife for a second DVD player to supplement our other player. Since this was a secondary machine with only basic use in mind, it had to be simple and cheap. The wiz was running a one day sale ad that had this machine for $85. We got...

Pros: cheap, good picture
Cons: sound problems

I got this dvd player for well under $100 dollars in what I thought to be a sweet deal. Boy was I wrong. I took it out of the box, and it played the first 4 dvd's great, but the fifth time i tried to use it, there was no sound. My girlfriend also...
