Good Points
Cheap, good looks, easy to navigate, plays video cds, 5 channel sound.

Bad Points
Cheesy screensever, slow layer change (1millisecond) Does not play the new american dvd (I tried 6 of them from a friend of mine) very upset!!!!!!!

General Comments
Well, I bought this Samsung 709 DVD player because sometimes I borrow some region 1 dvds. Now I can't anymore. So I wasted £50 on something I can't use.

There is a function on this player to change the region to whatever you want. Go to www.dvd.reviewer.co.uk for procedure

I've had a 709 for a few years now and regularly buy region 1 dvds from play.com and have yet to have any bother although i have never bought one with RCE coding. It won't play dvd/r either. It does react badly to discs with slight damage, though my pals toshiba 100e doesn't.
