“Bought 2 DVD Players for Christmas presents at Best...”

written by rrand. on 26/12/2001

Good Points
Okay quality on the DVDs that actually work.

Bad Points
False advertising. No surround sound. No DTS support. The box has both "surround sound" and a DTS logo. Half of DVDs will not play.

General Comments
Bought 2 DVD Players for Christmas presents at Best Buy. They were advertised as having surround sound and DTS (this is the sound system used by some theaters), and the logos are even on the box. These were the factors I used to make my decision. Guess what? This item has neither DTS or surround sound.



DTS - The manual says you have to buy a DTS decoder and this player does not come with a DTS decoder.



Surround Sound - The manual says VSS which they say is virtual surround sound (stereo). Basically, it only works with front two speakers. Does that sound like surround sound? No! It's stereo. Period.



To make matters worse, out of the 8 brand new DVD's I bought for them for Christmas, only 4 actually work. The other 4 are continually interrupted with a blue screen every 4 seconds.
