Review on Samsung DVDM301 DVD M301 DVD Player by Mike Goodwin

In the past I've had great luck with a Samsung VCR and a Samsung DVD-709 DVD player, so I stuck to my Samsung products and bought a Samsung DVD- M301 DVD player. Player. I have found that not all DVDs play properly on this unit. I played 4 movies with no problems and was impressed with the video quality of this model. But when I tried to play the Artisan Entertainment Studio release of "Bad Boys" starring actor Sean Penn, the audio of that film didn't play at all! It's not a high-tech movie - it's just a real 1983 movie, with no special effects like most new movies. It displayed the video portion perfectly, but there was absolutely no sound while playing this DVD. The movie played fine on my old Samsung DVD-709, so I know the problem isn't with the DVD itself. a local store that had the same model of Samsung DVD-M301 player that I was able to use to try out the "Bad Boys" DVD. Well, the store player is the same - NO AUDIO! This prompted me to return the Samsung DVD-M301 and buy a Panasonic DVD-RV31 player instead. Panasonic plays the film well - sound and all. I felt uncomfortable holding a Samsung without knowing how many other DVDs I would buy or rent with the same issues. future models. Until then ATTENTION!
