If you're ready for DVD, and you don't have a big budget, you can still get the superior picture quality and great sound of DVD with the affordable DVD200. Oritron has put in a number of features you might not expect at this price, like Dolby Digital and dts output and a jog/shuttle control. This 430mm-format DVD player brings high-quality picture and sound for your viewing pleasure. With RCA video output, you get sharp images. In a slim, silver case, it has seven easy-to-use controls and Jog/Shuttle rotary dial for convenient operation.
1 Why must we
This is a great DVD player. It has everything you need, at a price you can't beat. It's such a good buy. It's easy to set up and easy to use. A great first DVD player for anyone who is thinking of getting a DVD player. I wouldn't use it on my HDTV home theater, but if you just want something simple that looks great, this is the one. It has good sound and picture for the price. Haven't had any problems with it, what can I say I love it. It was cool.
Big Truck
2 For the price, a must buy...
Given the price the Oritron DVD-200 (and all his brothers) are a perfect buy, given that the work honestly, and give you the chance to change the region at will through the instructions you can find on the Net.
Moreover, someday, somehow, we will discover the code to disable the Macrovision!
3 Keep shopping, my friend
A total piece of junk--cheap inside and out. I received this as a gift, and am dreading my in-laws asking about it. It died precisely one day after the warranty expired. Very slow to crank up compared to others, frequent freezing, unresponsive remote control (you could get married and divorced waiting for it to respond to commands!) Poor picture quality with frequent waving and picture edge disintegration. Finally, it refused to give up a DVD, forcing me to take the cover off to retrieve it. Believe me, I have 2 other DVD players, and you can do much better for the price. Try Sony, Panasonic, and Toshiba. I'm sure you work hard for your disposable income; don't waste it on this. My Sony has been playing flawlessly since I bought it, and it is over 2 years old now, and really wasn't much more than this, and in fact, the prices have come down since I bought it. Nothing is a bargain if you are throwing it away right after the warranty expires.
4 Totally Fab DVD player for the more astute movie fan!
with all of the different DVD players out there, it is hard to find which one to buy or for what type of player to look for. if you are a more astute movie fan, you will want THIS Oritron DVD 200! not only does it play U.S. DVD's, but it also plays ANY REGION DVD from any country -plus- VideoCD's (VCD) which usually only work on computers. with video quality that of [an expensive] system, you can't beat one of the best DVD players for 2002!
5 AWESOME MULTI-REGION DVD & VCD PLAYER!
it's good to know this machine is backed up by a name brand...
known more for headphones, [other brand] really delivers with this ORITRON DVD player! for [money] you get a Multi-Region DVD player (plays U.S. DVD's + any other DVD from around the world!) plus those cool VideoCD's (VCD's) that you can get from Asian dealers! (if you like Hong Kong action flick)... it's a AWESOME DVD PLAYER at a decent price! you get all the features in a more expensive player PLUS the multi-region DVD playback NOT FOUND in the more expensive brands! A+++
6 THIS IS THE BEST DVD PLAYER I HAVE FOUND! (RARE, TOO)
..DVD players I own, and I have 3 (Sony & Pioneer are my others) and the ORITRON is the best! so it doesn't have a big name behind it, so what! it saves you MONEY! you aren't paying for the NAME! This awesome player will play any NTSC DVD plus also plays those VCD's (Video CD) that usually only computers could play! The remote is great and allows you to play all the individual chapters/pages on a DVD instead of going through the DVD menu... which is handy in finding all those hidden easter eggs! I use the S-VHS connection for the best picture, and the coaxial port for DTS and it is great! Snag one if you can find it!...
7 Dont Do it!
Save yourself some money and DO NOT buy this DVD Player! I had purchased this model from another online electronics store and after only using it a dozen times or so, it totally fried and stopped working completely!! Stick with the name brands!
8 It's a steal!
I bought 4 of them for my household and they were a great bargain. Every one of them still works to this day.
9 Ghettotron
I bought this thing and we've nicknamed it the Ghettotron. It gets the job done, and if you don't have a high end home theatre system it's a good, cheap way to go (I bought it for my fraternity house). Haven't had much trouble playing discs, other than the cursor disappearing occasionally, this is a good player for those within a budget and the patience to deal with the occasional technical issue.
10 You get what you pay for...
This was my first DVD player - the price brought me into the market. That's the one thing I'm grateful for because it introduced me to how wonderful DVD's can be - and I was hooked.
But the operation of this player was very buggy and I quickly got very irritated w/ it. Maybe because I had a defective unit, but from the look so fit - I don't think so.
I returned it and went out and bought an RCA DVD player which is the cheapest DVD player from a company I recognized. It was about $200 and worth every bit of the extra money. I've never had a glitch w/ it and I love owning a DVD player. I haven't used my VCR since!
11 Defective !
I purchased the "Oritron DVD 200 DVD-Video Player" as a second player, and it could only play a few of my DVDs. It suffered from severe skipping as well as audible pops and clicks. Overall, it was a total lemon !
12 I wish I had gone with a different DVD Player
I agree with the gentleman who said this player sticks a lot. I have had nothing but problems trying to get different DVD's to work in this piece of work. I would never purchase another Oritron product. The only thing I liked about this player was the price but I will probably go out and purchase a different player as soon as I can afford it.
13 Consider the Toshiba instead
About 6 mos ago I was in market for a DVD player and wanted to pay a little as possible for a completely satifcatory machine. Lots of research, reading of reviews and finally settled on a Toshiba SD1200. 6 mos later I can only say great things about the quality of the viewing and machine. I stumbled across the negative reivews on this player and wanted to provide cheapskates like myself an alternative player that was hassle free. When I was purchasing their were many issues with the low-end Sony (reportedly since corrected) but I took the leap to Toshiba and would recommend it to others. Pay the extra bucks and relieve yourself of 2 hours on the phone with customer service.
14 Oritron: Kick-Butt Price, Kick-Butt Performance!
The Oritron is an unbeatable value! It does, and has, just about all the options some other supposedly ''high-end'' players have and still manages to do it all very cheaply. I was very impressed with the build of the unit itself and the packaging it came in, which, subconsciously at least, all add to a product's reputation. Unlike what some have said, this player indeed does have Dolby 5.1 built-in and DTS pass-through. You use the digital coaxial output line to hook this baby up to your home reciever or shelf system and you're ready for some surround sound fun. The quality of a DVD picture is going to be just beautiful; there isn't going to be a difference in the picture this player outputs from an expensive Panasonic deal, I assure you. I have no doubts about that. It has parental lock-out, which is a good feature that some more expensive don't have, it has a zoom function (not that many people use that), and it even has S-Video capability. I wholeheartedly recommend you pick this player up. Skip all those other overpriced models with essential the same features; it'd be stupid to do otherwise.
15 Excellent Product for the Price, until...
Excellent product for the price. However, if you plan to play DTS music CD's, this machine will not let you do it (refer to the editorial reviews). I bought a dts music cd and have wondered for a long time why I cound't play it on this Oritron dvd player... However, consider dts cd music cd's are rare and rather expensive, you may save yourself a bundle buying this machine.
16 Oritron DVD 100
I bought the Oritron DVD 100. The quality of the picture is very good. This unit is good enough to enter the world of DVD UNTIL the DVD recordable players enter the market. This is the main reason why I did not buy a high end DVD player.
17 I love it!
Anyone who wants a cheap DVD player can get this one for a real bargain. You can play all the DVDs you want and it is very easy. I love this!
18 Extremely Poor Quality
You get what you pay for. This unit's remote is very fragile. Keys constantly stick. The unit has trouble reading just about any disc and is very tempermental. Very cheap feel to the controls. Save your money./
