Pros: Price.
Cons: MP3 playback is unreliable.
Remote control is garbage.
The Bottom Line: Get the Samsung P421 model instead. Better remote, mp3 playback and progessive scan capability for a few dollars more.

| cybertesla's Full Review: Samsung DVD-S221 DVD Player |
Disc load time is VERY slow. After closing tray it can take up to 15 seconds or so to load disc and start playing.
MP3 playback tends to silence the first few seconds of the songs. Also skips randomly and often. Short filenames are also annoying, especially if your filenames all begin with a group name since they all appear to be named alike.
The remote control is junk. You have to be within 3 feet of unit and pointing directly at unit for remote to work. This defeats to purpose of having a remote.
Power light is counter-intuitive. Turns on when unit is off and off when unit is on.
