Craig CVD401A Compact HDMI DVD Player with Remote in Black | Compatible with DVD-R/DVD-RW/JPEG/CD-R/CD-R/CD | Progressive Scan | Up-Convert to 1080p |

Works great, very economical and easy to operate. So small but with a big sound and great HD picture.

It works great noticed the buttons on the top are in front of the rubber feet so one finger won’t work. Other than that it very small perfect for tight spots, exactly what I was looking for.

- Works great, great price.- Did NOT come with HDMI cable, I paid a few dollars extra for this model for the HDMI Yet still a great deal for 4 months of zero internet service over the CA winter in 2023.- CAN'T READ REMOTE BUTTON LABELS!!- Amazing extra functions, BUT CAN'T READ THE BUTTONS, SO CAN'T USE THEM!BAD:Text labels on the remote ARE FAR TOO TINY & FAR TOO LIGHT TO READ!!!Never had a remote this bad. It works, but it's labeling is USELESS, so the remote is virtually useless!Which means that all the AWESOME extra functions this device offers, they effectively cannot be used!You can try to memorize a few buttons you use most, BUT, you'd forget unless used daily.The tiny very light labels will certainly fade to nothing or rub off quickly. THEN you're out of luck. Player won't work ONLY because the buttons are unlabeled!You'll need a bright light & magnifying glass to operate the remote.You'll have to use it like an old fashioned TV before remotes existed. And won't be able to use advanced features.But, if you never rewind, pause, restart playback or use any of the amazing extra features is has, this works GREAT!

I bought this very small DVD player for a relatively cramped viewing/playback area in my RV. Given its low cost and very small size, I did not expect it to perform as well as my larger, full-feature Sony DVD player in my home theater. However, I compared them by playing the same home-made (self-recorded family archive) DVD and a commercial DVD (specifically a Charlies Angels action movie). I fed them each to my Sony Bravia 55" screen via the same HDMI input. The picture and sound quality were identical! The user controls/menus, however, were very different. The Craig menus/controls are much clunkier (i.e., not polished/pretty) but they still do everything I want to do.The bottom line: This is a very good deal and does everything a larger, more expensive player can do. The user controls may take a bit of getting used to but after playing a few DVDs you'll probably find you've adapted. If not, give it to your kids!! They can handle it for sure! :-)

I purchased this compact DVD player for my MIL who is currently living in a very tiny efficiency. I wanted a compact player this is simple to use for a 70 year old. This really seem to be it. She really does best if she sticks to the basics. This DVD player actually provides a bit more features than just the basics, but it won't be too complicated to use.Update - it didn't work for her. First, it was really loud like you can hear the disk spinning loudly the whole time. Second, after getting it set up, she called and asked us why she can't hear anything even though the TV and DVD player had the volume all the way up. I haven't been over to see what happened, but the sound was fine when I installed it. So either something malfunctioned in a day of use, or it's too confusing for her to use and she pressed a button and doesn't know what she did. Either way, it's being returned.

The Craig CVD401A Compact HDMI DVD Player has been a great addition to my entertainment setup. Its compact design is perfect for small spaces, and the sleek black finish looks modern and unobtrusive.Setup was a breeze – just plug it into the HDMI port on my TV, and I was up and running. The player is compatible with a range of formats including DVD-R, DVD-RW, and JPEG, which is a nice touch for viewing digital photos directly from discs.The included remote control is user-friendly and responsive, allowing for easy navigation through menus and settings. Picture and sound quality are both solid for a player at this price point. It handles standard DVDs without issues, providing clear visuals and decent audio.One minor drawback is that it lacks additional features like USB ports or smart functionality, but for a basic DVD player, it delivers reliable performance. If you’re looking for a straightforward, no-frills option for playing DVDs, the Craig CVD401A is a good choice. It offers good value for its price and meets the needs of those who want a compact and efficient player.

It arrived quickly and was as described. Works just great!

Got 1 liked it so got 3 more to give as gifts. Of the 4 none lasted very long.Seemed to follow a pattern HDMI connection stops working, starts having problems with reading DVD'S, wrong region or no disc error and then only works for CD's.If you know, you know and consider this confirmation...it happened on all 4. Mine is only one still functioning and probably not for very long.Get what you pay for.
