Just moved to a new place and cable wasn’t installed yet. So we bought a DVD player and watch some great movies till the internet came.

My wife needed a dvd player to use in a room she exercises in and I targeted this one because of the price. Honestly, it works great so far. For those workout dvd's, the picture is acceptable and it's super easy to use (I also have a ps3 on that tv which was a little cumbersome for her to use, especially the controls). If you just need a basic dvd player with no frills, then this should suffice.

I bought this DVD player as one I could move around to different TV’s and even bring outside when the weather is nice. This DVD player is small, lightweight, and works great. I’ve used with with both older and newer DVD’s and have no issues. It does not have any HDMI cable plug, so if you need that, you’ll have to look elsewhere. It works just great with the older standard 3 plugs.

I am extremely pleased with this DVD player. It was simple to connect to the TV, I had never done it before, and works like a charm. I wanted something simple and basic to play cds and dvds. I have played both and am very happy with the exceptional quality. I also dropped it once and it bounced well. No dings or cracks although I would not suggest doing this on purpose. I highly recommend.

Cons: 1. No display panel on the player - which is why I gave it only 3 stars. Very disconcerting trying to operate a DVD player with no display panel, especially when playing a CD: you have no idea what track you're on or how much time has elapsed. 2. No HDMI output - though this isn't all that necessary for a basic and simple DVD player I suppose. 3 Only 3 control buttons on the player itself. 4. Lightweight - when you're trying to use any of the 3 control buttons on the player, you have to hold the player with one hand and push the button with the other, otherwise the player slides on away from you. PROS: 1. Really good, sharp, clear video and excellent audio on DVD's. 2. Excellent audio on CD's. CD audio is robust and "upfront" - quite detailed. 3. Component video outputs (though I haven't tried these yet - I'm simply using the composite video out). 4. Sleek and stylish design - player looks rather classy. Some inexpensive DVD players look rather cheap and junky - so do some expensive ones, too, for that matter. The 4 Pro's are surprising on a $30 player. BestBuy has put out a fairly good player with this Insignia model. I wish BestBuy would put out a new edition with more control buttons on the player, a display panel that gives track number and elapsed time and is a little bit less lightweight.
