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 install, works great for the 5th wheel!

This is an initial review as I only just received this DVD player today. A whole day early! Let me say that it's the perfect size as this is for a bedroom so space is limited & I didn't want something that would attract the eye. I connected the HDMI (not included). The HDMI does not play all DVDs. The included AV jacks are cheap looking & feeling. In fact, I haven't seen any that thin before. They put me in mind of buying them at the dollar store for $1. Thankfully I have both an HDMI & AV jack from previous cable set ups that work well with this DVD player. With the AV jack I was able to play the DVD that wouldn't play with the HDMI. Picture quality seemed ok but if it's not fading to black & white or obviously fuzzy I'm ok. The DVD player was sturdy. I didn't have to hold it down to insert or remove a DVD. I wish I knew why I couldn't play all DVDs with the HDMI as I'd really like to eliminate some of the cords running from TVs. I'll add an updated review after I've watched a couple of DVDs. This got four stars from me because not all the DVDs play with the HDMI & the included AV jacks were cheap. Oh, I didn't use the remote for this review but will when I watch the DVDs later. As for the cost it was within my price range. I paid a little more than the $25 I wanted to spend because I wanted the HDMI capability. Had I known that it wouldn't play all DVDs I think I would have just purchased the standard DVD player. I'm posting this initial review in the event that someone else is wondering the same things.

I was looking for a DVD player with slow motion and zoom since Blu Ray players do not have these features. This unit appeared to be the best fit at a reasonable price. It is also small and takes up minimal space. It is HDMI out and up-converts to better resolution. I like it so much I bought a second one as a back up for the future. I saw another review about the remote control being small. Yes it is, but you figure it out and actually being small is nice since it weighs little and is not a big clumsy unit.

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.

Easy to hook up and operate. Small and compact.

Seemed to be a good size and enough features for my needs...not a big, heavier (pricey!) unit. Not a child's player, for sure. Kids are rough on small electronics! But my first experience ended up being my last. A DVD opened as advertised. I selected 'setup' on remote, and from the "video" menu selected 'aspect ratio' to make a change to work with my TV. Screen immediately became distorted/scrambled, and I was never able to change it. Remote became useless except to eject/pwr on-off. Without ability to select "Settings" I could not make any changes to picture. Changing discs was no help, nor was any 'reset' of device I attempted. Calls to Impecca 'help line' found the only possible fix I might try was a "hard reset" (un plug power/HDMI cable for at least eight minutes), If no help, return to Amazon. It was no help, so am returning to Amazon. Will NOT exchange for like item! If there are no procedures for fixing problems encountered...other than the hard reset...adjustments made with remote control (there are none available on unit itself) would be risky. Remote control needs more capability.

Muy bueno, reproduce cd,dvd,vcd,mp3 todo con muy buena resolución, excelente fidelidad, superó todas mis expectativas. Lo recomiendo

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