Impecca DVD Player for TV Multi-Region HDMI, RCA AV Cable, USB, CD MP3 Playback, with Remote Compact HDMI DVD Player, Progressive scan Up-Convert to 1080P, LED Display 2.0 CH, 100-240V DVHP9117

I bought the Impecca DVHP9117 DVD player for one purpose: I needed to play British DVD's (Region 2, PAL format European disks) on my US (NTSC) home television. For that purpose this little player is an absolute best buy. It automatically detects and plays both NTSC and PAL format disks, and it can output either NTSC and PAL signals to your TV. (As delivered it defaults to NTSC output, so no setup is needed for US users.) Furthermore, it is a "Region 0" player, which means it can play disks from all over the world even if they are coded for use only in certain areas. I've used my Impecca player for a year now. The Impecca is a small, lightweight box, but the electronics and mechanical internals have outlasted the much more expensive Sony and LG players which preceded it. If you are still concerned about longevity, Amazon offers very inexpensive extended warranty plans. Product support is excellent. After my purchase I asked Impecca's customer service a specific question about the Regional support I mentioned above. The support representative gave me a very honest, "I don't know" reply, but within 24 hours I got an email from one of their engineers answering my question. I agree with other reviews that the remote is both small and oddly configured, which means that I had to put on my reading glasses to use it. But my solution was to rummage through my junk drawer for an old programmable universal remote -- the kind where you point the Impecca remote at the universal remote, then press "learn" on the universal to program the keys. (The "universal" remote was actually from an old, defunct Samsung television.) Once everything was set, the Impecca remote went into the drawer... This is a solid DVD player with some very useful special features at an excellent price. Now, if Impecca will just come out with a Blu-ray version, I'm ready to buy!

Easy to hook-up, easy to use. Great picture quality and sound. The buttons on the player appear sleek and have a quality feel to them, and they work well. The remote buttons are larger than many with a refreshing simplicity. Very user friendly! The remote may not have the most elegant or high tech look, but it has a clean look, and it is very easy to use. It would be a perfect remote for anyone who is tired of dealing with remotes filled with too many tiny buttons.

It's a pretty good machine it handles much as i can throw at it. It plays DVD's & CD's just fine. It plays DVD-R's fine and since i don't use DVD+R i assume it works as well. Unfortunately i tried dual layer DVD+RDL one of my backup movies and it doesn't work but i have tried dual layer data disc and it works just fine. So dual layer disc as DVD video doesn't work but it can be used as a data disc and it will boot up with no problems. Now a big plus for this machine is that it can play digital music and video files, which is good because most of my entertainment stuff is digital. MP3 files work just fine and AVI files play just fine however i tried playing MP4 files and it dosen't work so i was a little disappointed with that. I like the fact though you can play digital files through USB or on a DVD or CD so i like that feature. I tested it's composite cable and HDMI and it works just fine. So overall i like the machine, I bought it for my grandma because we need a DVD player for the living room and she likes it. Only a couple compatibility issues with Recordable Dual layer DVD video disc & MP4 files which i hope they improve in the future but its still a good machine and i recommend it to anyone.

Easy to hook up and operate. Small and compact.

As a DVD player it works ok. Some of the features listed in the description do not work. It will play, pause, and fast forward. It will not play in slow motion and will not single step. When playing at any speed except the normal speed it does not play any sound. As far as I can tell it can only be opened or closed with the remote control. The picture quality is fine. The remote may be the problem. It could be with a remote other than the one that is shipped with the DVD player the listed features might work but as shipped the slow motion, single step, and sound when playing at a faster speed do not work. I have not yet found a DVD that the zoom feature works on. However for just playing DVDs which what I use it for it works.

I am really enjoying this DVD player. Setup was a breeze - plug into HDMI cable from TV and insert a DVD. The picture quality is very good and can be adjusted in the settings. The sound can be turned up nice and loud. I love the slow motion feature as I watch dance videos. The remote is a good size, and all the buttons can be easily identified without having to use a magnifier. I have tremors and have not hit a wrong button yet. I have not had reason to use the other features offered with this player. I believe I got a good deal - quality product at a good price.

Great sound for such a compact size. Perfect for karaoke singing with rich echo effect. Strongly recommend for home user.

Product works well. Remote control must be pointed very accurately to work. I like the USB input for displaying photos downloaded from my PC.
