They also give information about the pluses and minuses of the different companies' players, for example their PAL/NTSC converters. It seems Daewoo has a weak converter. I own a Daewoo unit at home bought at Target. I have found that it has trouble playing feature rich DVDs. Specifically our "Finding Nemo" has successfully played only a couple of times. The deck vibrates and "grinds" as it tries to read it then gives a "no disc" message. Otherwise, we have had no problems with Region 1 and Region 2 discs in it. If I were to buy a new DVD player today, I would give 220-electronics a try.
