MEGATEK Region-Free HDMI DVD Player for TV, Compact CD/DVD Player for Smart TV, USB Port, Plays All Region DVDs & Multi Formats, Metal Housing, HDMI/RCA Cables & Remote Included

I have a set of DVD's (made in 2001) of Dean Martin's shows that were broadcast on TV in the 1960's. They would not play on an external DVD/CD drive which connects to my laptop. After reading the reviews, I selected this player to directly connect it to my large new HD TV & it worked flawlessly! It appears to be well-made and I couldn't be happier!!

So far so good! I bought this to use with an Amazon Fire TV. It’s easy to set up, has a small footprint, and so far seems to work flawlessly. The only thing I don’t like is the rubber feet don’t really “grab”, so you have to hold the unit in place to press any buttons (like the open/close button). Otherwise, it’s a nice DVD player. We’ll see how long it lasts…

I was skeptical at first but was very pleased when the order arrived. It works perfectly. So does remote. The color is great. I love the resume factor. It pick right up where last stopped.

Deserves a 5 Star rating, but the lack of Blue-ray compatibility takes off 1 star. Otherwise, an impressive array of features, quality, and durability definitely sets this Megatek player apart from other offerings. Unit performs flawlessly, remote control adds a wealth of additional convenience, and the playback quality is superb! Easy to set up and use right out of the box, with little need for the thorough instructions that are included. Overall pleased with the Megatek CD/DVD player, would recommend!!

I wanted a DVD player that I could watch DVDs I purchased on both Amazon US and Amazon UK. For some reason, depending on what country you bought your DVDs from, they have embedded a specific region code into the disc. UK discs used the PAL format and US discs are formatted using the code NTSC. So here's the dilemma, not all DVD players can read both kinds of discs. I still don't understand the reason for this region code system. I live in the US but I can switch to Amazon UK and purchase DVDS there, have them shipped to my US address, but until recentl I had no way to view them because you couldn't buy a PAL player in the US, and vice versa for the UK not having NTSC players available. Now that we can pick up a player such as this that automatically figures the region code and plays it according to format it's wonderful. This little miracle machine, is easy as pie to set up, just plug it in to electric and, second plug goes into an available HDMI slot in the back of the TV. That's it. Now I can watch my US region code discs of The Office and What We Do In The Shadows. Then pop them out and put in my UK region code discs of Plebs and Inside No. 9. And any other of my favorite shows no matter where I bought it. I have an HD Samsung smart TV and what this little DVD player sends to my screen is 100% HD. Not an ounce of degradation. I wish these region free DVD players were always available. *Edit - I've had this DVD player for almost a year, and I picked up one for my 80+ year old Mama this week because I haven't had any problems with my original player. I'm writing this edit because I noticed a few people have had problems recently. I use mine a good amount, had it for almost a year, moved it around in different places in the house, my cat has been known to sit on top of it by the TV, and it survived quite nicely. It's not an expensive machine so if it does poop out after a while I would feel like I got my monies worth. And finally, I mentioned my 80+ yr old Mom because it's easy for her to use as well. She's not really tech savvy but after I gave her a quick demo she can work it. It's very simple actually. One button turns it on and off, one opens and closes the disc door, and there you go. Included remote is also simply set up and not too small.

This player is great, it easily connected to my Sony Bravia TV. The controls were simple, easy to navigate and delivered excellent video quality from dvd movies I watched. You can't go wrong for the price.

DVDs are definitely old school by now, but we have a nice collection of fun movies, and we enjoy checking out classics from the library. However, library DVDs have a tendency to have lived a hard life. Our old DVD player would frequently freeze up, particularly later in the movie, when it hit a scratch or blemish on the disk. This Megatek DVD play just glitches for an instant, and then carries on like nothing happened. That is what I was hoping for - no DVD player can flawlessly play a disc that is damaged and therefore missing content. It starts quickly and responds well to the remote. I have not noticed any noise from it at all, the way we have it installed. Very pleased so far.

We just reached the year mark for using the Megatek Region Free DVD. For the past year it worked flawlessly. It was easy to set up and the player played DVDs from locations that we could not play in the past. Unfortunately last week the picture went black. Initially I thought it was a HDMI cable issue and I tried another cable but the picture was still black. I then plugged in the composite cables and the picture came back. The quality is not the same as the HDMI. To be fair my mother used this machine for the past year almost everyday and probably 5-6 hours a day. Therefore. I cannot complain about the amount of usage we got for the price we paid. I would recommend this unit and I only gave it a 4 because of the failure of the HDMI plug.

Para la nostalgia y sigue funcionando

I bought this unit from an Australian seller who drop shipped it from the USA so it has a US style plug which is useless for Australian power outlets. Back it goes. Why do sellers do this? It's just incompetent.

Funciona perfeitamente, até o momento já testei para as regiões 1, 4 e All. Faz o upscalling para até 1080p, passando por 480p e 720p. Também pode copiar o DVD para um pen drive como funcionalidade adicional. Até o momento, valendo muito a pena para assistir a DVDs antigos difíceis de achar em streaming.

Ok, to be fair I just plugged everything in and it’s now playing my favourite CD. Tested and works with my USB drive too. So far, so good 🙂 For SGD100 it is doing its job decently, and it is able to do the same in one year’s time I would have gotten my money’s worth 😅 Go for it 👍👍👍

I set up an out-of-use (HDMI-capable) TV in my exercise room and wanted a DVD player to go with it. I figured I would buy this one for my main TV and move my cheapie DVD player from there to this new setup. But the feature that allows DVDs to be played where you left off was attractive. I don't finish a DVD before I finish exercising, so I decided to use this player in the exercise room. BTW, that feature works well and is VERY handy. The picture is good as is the audio. I also was able to play an out-of-zone DVD with no trouble. For the price asked, it seems good value for all the features. I haven't linked the TV and DVD remotes so can't say about the ease of this. But it all setup easily, except... [UPDATE Aug 23, 2020: Even though my old cheapie player still works, it does not have HDMI, upscaling, multi-zone, or last play memory, so I bought a second one of these Megatek players for my main TV setup. The one described below with the 4:3 problem is hooked up to an inexpensive Insignia TV. I now have more experience playing the other one, which is hooked up to an expensive and more recent LG OLED TV. With this setup, I CAN get 4:3 playback using HDMI. I have to go into the LG's setup menu and select 4:3, but it all works. BTW, the picture does look good (relatively speaking since this is older material I'm looking at). So as I suspected, it seems that the TV in use DOES come into play regarding 4:3 playback using HDMI. The catch seems to be not with this DVD player, but the TV in use with it. It is impossible to know what the situation will be with your TV's interaction with this DVD player until you try it. I never had this problem with my old player and the Insignia TV because I could only use component. When I swapped in this Megatek player I assumed the problem previously described below was with the player. My apologies to Megatek. I'll go 5 stars.] Many of the DVDs I play on this set are of older material. Specifically, they are in 4:3 (old TV) format. I have found that if you only hook up HDMI and play back using HDMI, the 4:3 source material will be stretched left and right. Personally, I do not like this effect. I have thoroughly gone through the setup menus of both this player and my TV and cannot override this. The workaround is to hook the DVD player to the TV with component cables. (Possibly the single-cable 'Video' output/input would work, too, but that really is poor quality, even for this older material.) When you insert a 4:3 DVD you can go to SETUP > GENERAL > TV DISPLAY >and set to 16:9, and this should now display 4:3 format discs in the center of the screen (i.e. no stretching). But, this only works with component cabling, not HDMI. (If you do use component cabling, make sure to go SETUP > VIDEO > COMPONENT > and set to YUV, or you will get nothing through those component cables.) It is possible that your TV will display 4:3 normally (depending on the TV and the settings). Component cabling doesn't allow for the same video quality as HDMI. But source material old enough to be in 4:3 is likely to NOT be in high-def. So, this isn't a big problem. And you can still hook up using HDMI cable as well, and toggle back and forth with your TV remote. It isn't an elegant solution, but works well enough. Luckily I still had some decent quality video and audio cables to do this extra hookup.
