    So far, this DVD player is great, works perfectly. The only thing I was not aware of and I didn't do my research close enough is that it does not play BluRay.

    Nice product, does exactly what I hoped it would do. It is a little more “light weight” than I’d anticipated.

    Helpful with software, but difficult to use with other disks. I can't even tell what is on the disk, but it is probably due to my lack of technology skills.
