Summary: A Great Buy!
Review: I bought this DVD player recently, and I love it! I haven't had any major problems with this player, and I loved the price. I've played a lot of DVDs in it, even at least one from Netflix that was so dirty I was certain I would have to clean it before it would play. I put it in just to see, and it played with no problems and not a single skip! The only minor problem I've had was the sound being off from the timing of the action while watching one DVD, but I restarted the movie and it has not done that again. I love the super slim design and it's very light-weight. The remote is very user friendly. I would highly recommend this one!

Summary: Solid DVD Player
Review: I bought this player after having a bad experience with the similarly priced JVC XV-N40BK player. The JVC had audio and visual problems so I returned it. So far the Zenith player has worked out perfectly. I'm using it with an RF modulator and I've had no problems whatsoever. The sound and picture are fine. I've watched Disney and other store-bought DVDs and I'm satisfied with the performance. I haven't tried burned DVDs yet so I wasn't comfortable giving it 5 stars. But for $70, I'm perfectly happy with this player.

Summary: Well, at least it has progressive scan
Review: I got this player to upgrade my old DVD player and get beautiful
progressive scan capability. The support for MP3/JPG/DVD-R
was an extra bonus--I hoped. Well, I haven't done an A/B
comparison with my old player, comparing interlaced with
progressive, but it clearly wasn't earth shatteringly different.
Watching JPG slideshows is PAINFULLY (and ridiculously) slow,
even on the fastest setting. I made a DVD-R disc full of
MP3's ripped from my CD collection. That works.

So, the fancy features are there, and do work after a fashion.
What about just sitting down and watching a movie (this is a
DVD player, after all). Certainly, the picture is clear and
sharp, with fewer jaggies or flickering lines you're used to
seeing with the composite video of yesteryear. But, too many
times this player has failed me. Some discs won't play at
all, but when I pull out my old Toshiba, they play fine. The
audio regularly gets out of sync with the video--very
disconcerting. There is no excuse for this kind of failure.
I hoped to used Zenith's "Upgradeable Software" feature, but
their technical support site has no mention of it, or any kind
of upgrades for that matter. Finally, some buttons are
very slow to respond. I guess Zenith was trying to save you
from accidentally performing functions, so they make you press
and hold the buttons (on the player itself as well as the remote)
for up to 1 second before anything happens. This can be
particularly annoying when fast forwarding/rewinding. If you
don't hold the button long enough, you'll do a whole chapter
skip. Please, Zenith, add the two more buttons to distinguish
between fast forward and chapter skip!

Depending on what you are looking for, however, this player may
still be a good choice. If you don't mind its flakiness, and
are wowed by the extra bells and whistles, but don't have a lot
of money, the Zenith is a good choice. For myself, I would have
been happier spending a bit more, getting fewer features, and
having a stabler player.
