This DVD player played region free right out of the box. I did not have to do anything. Thank you.

It's been a 5-Star experience with this DVD player so far. I am very happy with it and would recommend it highly.

The DVD player is a charm to use and enjoy on the road.  Works well, seems to be fairly robust.  I've had it 6 months and used it 7 or 8 times, about two hours each time.  Seems to be doing a great job.
Picture good and clear.  Very happy with it.  Thanx.

I mainly purchased this dvd player from reading the great reviews, plus I needed one that played all of my various file formats (avi, mp3, jpeg, etc...) and this one does it all. Plus it has a USB and SD card reader on the front panel with it's own open/close door. I like the option of being able to hear cd's in left or right channel mono which is a feature i missed on my old XWave player. Not to mention an independent 5.1 channel audio output, and HDMI out for HDTV monitors. Region coding can also be changed to "0" if you wish via a special code that was posted here earlier. I am currently only using the Component (red, green, blue) output and to me that is just fine. I don't know what the complaints about the disc tray are all about but it does not seem that bad to me. In fact i like the "clear" tray look. The mirror finish front panel looks great too! Oppo customer service (if needed) is also friendly and they respond promptly if you have a question.&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/OPPO-DV-970HD-Up-Converting-Universal-DVD-Player/dp/B000GT5FK0/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">OPPO DV-970HD Up-Converting Universal DVD Player</a>

It's an excellent dvd player that will play almost any format - my only complaint is the time it takes to start up and load a movie. I also read most of the complaints about it not lasting more than 6 months but I have not experienced any issues and I've had it for more than a year now. Best value!

This little DVD player is great. The headphones are a bit small for an adult. Many other reviews complain about the volume being low but my DVD player is perfect. Love that it comes with a remote.

This DVD player is really a great unit, when you consider that it retails for just over a C note, you can't fault it. I am completely happy with the purchase. My primary reason for picking this unit was the region free capability. I have DVD's from all over and hate the region coding. So, this player is the answer, and it makes no apologies in it's performance. This thing works like DVD players should have worked for years.

I bought this DVD player 3 months ago and I could never be happier with it.  Since then I have bought 3 more of these players for friends and relatives.  I bought the Black or Silver they are exactly identical in functionality.  I prefer the Silver look myself.
The MP3 player was a big plus!  It plays my MP3 disks with ease.  The only problem is that it only displays the numbers of my MP3 files when playing it.  So you may have to memorize your MP3 via numbers.  It will play the files in the order the MP3 files are written.  Just make sure you make a list of the songs cause there is no way to memorize over a hundred songs in a disk.
Unlike the Toshiba DVD with the MP3 playing capability, the Panasonic DVD/CD/VCD/MP3 COULD Fast Forward/Rewind while playing the MP3 files.  Im glad I did not buy the Toshiba, pretty much all the Toshiba players I tried in the electronics store could not fast forward/rewind MP3 file/song.  This is bothersome especially if you need to scan through your MP3 songs.
Playback was excellent.  I haven't got any bad pixelations where the picture was not completely processed which leaves bigger squares of the image all over the place.  I did get a couple pauses/delay/discontinuity while playing the DVD on some disks.  The discontinuity usually happens while it switches to the next track.  It only happens rarely in the frequency of once in 10 movies I play.  It may just be the disk itself causing it, especially if it has scratches.
As far a CD playing is concerned, it has pretty much what a normal CD player has.  Search, Fast Forward, Rewind, Random, Scan and more...  Just read up on the specifications to find out the rest.
VCD Playback is excellent as well.  The image was nice and clear.  Of course it will never match up with the DVD's picture quality.
The component outputs and digital audio output is a plus for future expansions.  Most new higher end televisions and receivers have component inputs now.  And most receivers that support DTS/Dolby digital 5.1 will have digital audio inputs.  Though this particular player does not support progressive scan, the picture quality is up to par.  Panasonic makes a model that supports progressive scan but it is slightly more expensive.  It will look very similar to this one except it will say progressive scan on the front disk tray.
This player also implements special function for surround sound.  It will simulate a surround sound through your television even though you don't have any of the complex receivers/audio equipment.  Of course it will not match up with having your own surround receiver, but it is good enough if you don't have one.
This player has proven itself to be very reliable to me.  Its ease of use and functionality makes it my top pick especially for its price range.  At Amazons current pricing on this player (Black or Silver), you cannot find a better name brand in its class!

This DVD player is awesome. The up-conversion is flawless, plus you get an HDMI cable. The player also has a memory card reader and USB port which makes viewing photos, MP3s, or even downloaded movies a breeze.

Get yourself a Logitech Harmony remote and you are good to go.

We can finally watch DVDs! At first I was debating if I should purchase a Blu Ray DVD player but to be honest I've only appreciated Blu Ray when watching Planet Earth. Besides the HDMI cord is a big help for the picture. And I only get normal DVDs from Redbox. Great DVD player and would purchase again!

I've had this DVD player for about 3 weeks now and it's played everything I put in it. The picture is high quality and the features provide everything I would use.  The one downside is the manual.  The instructions and layout are kind of skimpy.  But the player is well worth the money.

This is one great DVD player.  It plays everything I throw at it.  I've had this unit for about a year now and have purchased one for my mother-in-law and brother-in-law.  Do not let the small size fool you.  Great things do come in small packages.

I'm really happy with the purchase of this DVD. Works great, loads fast and is easy to use. The only drawback is that the remote is cheap, small and sort of difficult to figure out. Although the best part about this DVD player is that it has three buttons on the front of it for basic operation so that you don't need the remote to operate it.

Just 4 days of use has convinced me this DVD player is great, better than I expected for the money.  Gone are the days of asking across the sofa...HUH, what did they say...run it again...I missed that..  This player makes the dialogue very easy to understand, crisp and clear, and the background sounds are also clear.  The one touch subtitle button instantly turn on subtitles, no menu hunting, no pausing.  Additional dialogue tracks are instantly available, Dexter in French, just a button push away..Desperate Housewives in Spanish? no problemo. Just click. Wow..my 8 year old DVD player was never this good and cost more too. The player also automatically adjusts for different picture formats, wide screen, 4-3, etc. Again no more menu searching and selecting for each format. The color and contrast settings are also automatic and seem to work very well. A big plus for me is the absolutely silent operation, except when actually switching discs there is no run noise at all.

One drawback, there does not seem to be one page menu for the contents of the 6 disc positions. Just a plus or minus button to advance to the next disc.

I love this DVD player. The kids love it in the car. I love that the kids are happy in the car. So nice that it saves the spot on the DVD, so you don't have to restart after turning the car off. I also love that once we got to the hotel, we could take the player in and watch a DVD inside. Great price, good product, fast shipping, etc.
