Yes, this is a piece of sh--. The company WILL NOT back it up. It will never work. Send it back, pay the freight, over and over, it WILL NOT WORK. I am going to make a video of me destroying this total POS and send it to LG. Makes me think LG just totally sucks. Cmon LG, ever heard of a recall? The thing is, I have their top of the line washer and dryer, refrigerator, etc. They all work. Not this POS however. It is the most useless brand new item I ever owned. I bought an OPPO. It has been flawless for a year....perfect. I wish I could think of a way to somehow cause LG to pay for something useless like I have. All I can think of is vandalizing something of theirs. I am smarter than that however. If you have one, take it to your nearest Salvation Army and claim it is worth hundreds or something...just get rid of it. I am not doing that because I want to beat it to death.

Very good player-but.............2007-02-23

I've owned 2 of these and they are great if you have an older hdtv without either a dvi or hdmi input-just componet inputs-they can be hacked to upscale to 720P or 1080I through componet. They are great at playing xvid/divx, but here's the catch-sometimes you will get a momentary dropout in the video-it's not consistent. I think it has something to do with video level-both of the ones I own will do it-but again-not consistently. The DCDI Genesis chip only works on the 720P and 1080I resolutions-not 480I or 480P. On some displays the "macroblocking" problem is evident. But still the pluses far outweigh the minuses with this player.

Poorly designed, flakey and worthless.......2006-06-12

I purchased this DVD player on recommendation from a salesman. What they failed to tell me is that LG is a new company that doesn't have all the kinks worked out in their product. I brought it home and hooked it up via HDMI. Everything looked great...but then we noticed the audio was out of synch. It was like watching a bad Kung Fu movie that was dubbed...ON EVERY SINGLE DVD. I contacted LG and they had to send me an update CD (couldn't get it online). After running this update CD, it fixed the problem...but now my DVD player thinks that it is in Spain (NOT Region 1) and I can't play ANY Region 1 DVDs...my entire DVD collection is now rendered useless. I called LG and they were absolutely NO HELP. I finally did some online research and downloaded a hack that removed the encoding from the DVD which allows me to play Region 1 DVDs...but it reverts to the Spanish language track on 98% of DVDs. It is very annoying that we have to go to the language menu before playing EVERY SINGLE DVD. And, to make matters worse, the unit now freezes often and has to be unplugged and restarted up to 10 times in order to play a DVD.
This is a piece of junk that was never fully tested. You will waste time just getting it to work. Do yourself a favor and buy a Sony or Panasonic.

Works great if you enter this code!.......2006-02-27

I originally connected this player to my HDTV through HDMI->DVI cable (since my TV doesn't have HDMI) and the video quality sucked. Colors were washed out no matter how much you adjust the settings on the TV, it still looked terrible. Using component video looks much better, but it doesn't support upconversion on discs that are copy protected (which most commercial DVDs are).

I stumbled onto this tip from some Intenret websites. Turn the player on but don't play the disc (just leave it at the opening screen). Press PAUSE, 1, 2, 3, 6, 9 in sequence on your remote. The screen should say "OK H" or "Default H". Press PAUSE twice to get rid of that message. If it doesn't work, try again.

This enables upconversion on all discs through the component video. I am now able to watch DVDs that I rent in 1080i through component video. HDMI/DVI connection still looks washed out, but the component looks great.

So now I'm a happy camper with this player!

Oh, I should also mention that the player has the ability to read long file names on DivX/MPEG discs, which is something my old Philips DVP462 couldn't do. That's a nice little bonus!

By the way, do the above code at your own risk. Many including myself have tried it and works great. I haven't heard of any negative effects of doing it, but who knows.

Don't waste your money on this junk!.......2006-02-13

I purchased this player last year and am extremely unhappy with it. The player constantly 'freezes' and when it 'unfreezes', it jumps to an entirely new section of the DVD. LG support is useless. I can see there are websites being offered by helpful(?)hackers writing firmware to fix this problem because they too give up on LG support. Of course there are disclaimers stating if you try to update, it can ruin your LG player. I'm getting to the point I may try it.

vtech 5820.......2007-10-05

great phone, I have owned 3 for 7 years with no issues. I recently bought 3 to max out use with my vtech 5831.

Phone problem with battery compartment.......2007-07-24

The battery compartment didn't hold batteries inside firmly to make good connection - had to correct with duct tape. Works fine now.

I really like my vtechs.......2006-11-08

I've had my vtech phones for about 3 years. Originally I purchased it with 2 handsets, then added a third. Now I am about ready to purchase a few more to replace my other phones in the house (especially since it's easier to connect the base unit to Vonage than modify the home wiring).

The only downside is that if one misplaces a handset and doesn't notice for a day, the batteries will run down and the phone will be a lot harder to find. I'm still trying to find one awol handset! Then again, that's a problem with any wireless device...

Phone great, charger lousy.......2006-10-21

In general, I have had a great experience with this phone. Having speakerphone on the handheld phones has been a lifesaver sometimes, and I've found it to work fairly well (I mean, it's speakerphone and sounds like it, but I've never had complaints using it for a short time in a conversation). I've had no problems with buttons in hte 2 years I've had it. I love that you can page the handsets if they happen to get misplaced (though you have to know which handset is missing, or else try all of them). I get great battery life (which is a very good thing--see below).

My complaint is the charger. I believe I have cared for it well, cleaning the metal pieces that make the connection (I'm not particularly technical) occasionally in case of dust or other build-up. We have two phones. For the first year, both chargers worked great. Then one of the chargers would only charge if we put something behind the phone to change the angle it charged at--this would keep the green light on. About two months of that, and that charger stopped working altogether, so for the last year we've been using just one charger for two phones. Since we live in an apartment, that works fine--it avoids the overcharging problem, to be sure! However, now our single charger is requiring the "special angle", so I'm becoming a little concerned that this really is a pattern in this product, rather than a single "Lemon' of a charger.

Like I said, in every other way, I have been very happy with this phone. But if I can't charge it anymore, well.....

I will make no judgment on the company overall, having used only this one product of theirs.

Great while it works!.......2006-02-07

When I first got this phone equipment, I was delighted. It lasted about six months before fizzling out on me. The speaker phone on the base unit worked fine at first. Now callers tell me it sounds as though I'm in a dance hall ... a dance hall with lousy acoustics. The buttons on one of the hand units don't always work. I punch in a number, only to find that I have to do it all over because one or two of the digits didn't register. Now, one of the units won't recharge properly when seated in its base.

What a waste of money.
