Samsung DVD-C350 All Region Free DVD Player (Black)

This DVD player works fine, good picture, easy to set up, plays region two DVDs, in short everything I was looking for in a cheap DVD player. it's not top of the line, but at the price it does what I purchased it for just fine.

One drawback that other reviewers didn't cover - the remote for the DVD player is very small. As a woman with fairly small hands, I tend to hit the wrong buttons at times because they are so close together, this could be more of a problem for someone with larger hands.

Another drawback, but one that I am more than willing to live with because I find it entertaining, would be the noise the DVD player makes when you first load a DVD. When I first heard the sound it reminded me of something I heard before - a distinct sound that I couldn't for the life of me place. It was driving me crazy trying to figure it out.

I was skeptical about this multiregion dvd player. I have two other multiregion players and all required a code so I was expecting the same from this Samsung.

Just told me it was the "wrong region". Not sure what the deal is with this as it's supposed to play all regions 0-whatever. Wondering if this has happened to anyone else.

UPDATE: Because Google is my friend, I found a very simple hack to make this player truly region-free. Therefore, I have changed my rating to four stars as it's a decent player and is doing what I asked it to do. I just wish the Amazon description didn't say "region-free right out of the box." Maybe it will be and maybe it won't. If you get one that is Region 1 or Region 2 only like I did, just look it up. It took me less than a minute to fix... Read more

I bought this having purchased other multi region dvd players that didn't work. Despite stating they were multi region they would only play US dvds. I did't have very high hopes for this one either but it was a good price so decided to take a chance. It worked perfectly right out of the box exactly as advertized. I simply connected it, put in a UK disc and it played. The picture is perfect and I have had no problems at all with it.
