Craig Compact DVD/JPEG/CD-R/CD-RW/CD Player with Remote (CVD512a), NO HDMI Connection

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.

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! :-)

Unit seems to work OK. Picture and sound quality not great, but wasn’t expecting a lot for the price. Don’t often play DVDs (like never), but am planning to borrow some from the library, and needed something other than my pc to play them on. There is no HDMI cable included, although it does not say so on the box, and I could not find it in the Amazon ad. Luckily, I had a cable on hand.

Quality kind of sucks and it will randomly stop working from time to time in the middle of watching a movie.

Excellent for the price will get another for the bed room .

I got rid of my old DVD player years ago. For whatever reason I hung on to all the DVDs. And there's a lot of them. The idea was that I could see these movies by streaming them anytime I want. But now they're charging five bucks a whack. So back to the DVD player. This little guy works great. Totally impressed. Definitely would buy again. Takes up almost no space. Picture quality is great.

Easy to use! Great for viewing our digital library! Small , light weight, and easy to move around

The DVD player didn't work very good. The sound was bad. The player made movie's skip scenes, I was not happy with the player.
