Daewoo players
Anybody experiencing problems with any of the discs and their Daewoo players. I'm just curious since I'm getting mine next week and have a Daewoo player (purchased in 2001) which plays pretty much everything I throw at it (except for Star Wars Ep II whihc skips for 1 second on the opening scroll...firmware problem)...
Just asking since I'm hearing about a lot of glitches and am slightly worried.

I watched "A New Hope" on my Daewoo player (2002). It froze up on what seemed like a pretty long layer change somewhere about an hour into it. I pressed rewind, then play, and it played right through it normally. Maybe it was just a speck of dust on my disk?
FYI: My Daewoo doesn't play DVD-Rs all that well, but everything else.

Cheap Korean electronics = a low price + many great features that stop working soon after the warranty expires + the worst English-translation Instruction Manuals in the world

In my experience the cheaper players are the best ones. I owned a swanky Toshiba and a decent Samsung when they both went kaput after a year. I've had my Daewoo 5700 for 2 years without any hitches playing hundreds of discs on it without a hitch. Not once has it been to the repair shop and it looks like its gonna be with me for some time yet. I don't have any complaints about it.
In this case cheap price = reliability and dependability.
Its not a spectacular machine by any stretch as it doesn't have the chocolate and caramel spazmo features that other 'high end' players have but it gets the job done and does everything I expect it to do (play any disc I chuck into it).
Korean or not it was money well spent.
