1 out of 5 stars Poor Results   October 21, 2008
Product purchased in July 2008 little used until now October 08 plays discs for 40 minutes and then breaks up.. changes picture size.. and returns to start.. NOT a good buy! Look elsewhere.


3 out of 5 stars Alright if I were French   October 10, 2008
I just got my dvd player today and it's spot on. took me no more than a minute from taking out the box to having it set up on my TV (including switching it to multi-region). it was easy to set up which is a good thing considering all the instructions i got with it were in French and even the dvd player itself is set in French.

This is where i'm hoping somebody might be able to help me, am I able to switch the dvd play to english so i can understand the menus?

plus on a side note and this isn't really anything against the dvd player. when it was delivered today the packaging was shocking. it was all ripped to bits. If it wasn't for the fact that none of the holes in the bag were big enough to fit the dvd player though i would of said it looked like somebody had switched them.


2 out of 5 stars Not so hot.   September 16, 2008
The Samsung v6800 has a mediocre picture quality, and as S Roberts says, the remote is lousy at best. Several pushes are often needed just to FFWD, pause, stop or restart after pause.
This unit was sent as a replacement for an older unit that was under extended warranty when it died, I would not choose to buy one. As for Miss Hawthorn's all regions hack? No response at all! Nada, zilch, naff all.
So, overall, not so hot!


5 out of 5 stars Great Bang for the Buck   August 11, 2008
 7 out of 8 found this review helpful

The DVD and VCR that this replaced (from 6-10 years old) cost four times as much and yet this is superior to them both. I can't beleive that some expected a DVD Recorder was included at this price...give it a few more years at least, however the descriptions for the v6800 do vary depending which site is visited. The VCR definately has 6 heads and not 4. The DVD can become multi-region with the hack descibed by others on Amazon. If like me your TV only accepts Progressive Scan in NTSC format the DVD player won't output a PAL disc in NTSC format. NTSC encoded disks work fine. I didn't have any issue with the remote either although the dubious unbranded batteries could have caused that issue.


2 out of 5 stars Decent DVD player, Terrible Remote Control   August 8, 2008
 5 out of 7 found this review helpful

This DVD player will play more or less any disc I try and the quality of the picture is fairly decent. The main problem with this DVD player is the remote control which will not work unless pointed directly at the player, I have the DVD player situated about 3 foot away from where I sit so theproblem is not the distance. I had a DVD/VCR combi for 4 years before I purchased this item to replace it and the remote with that would work from around 15 foot away and even if the remote was pointed at the wall.
The description of the item also said Connectivity 1 x HDMI, the item does not have an HDMI port which was one of the reasons I bought the item.
Overall it is a decent DVD player let down by the poor quality of the remote control.
