OTHER ITEMS WITH EXCLUDED FEATURES

of this product though it has some excellent advantages but at the same time has many disadvantages in design and construction were somehow put into production. You know how these companies behave when a NEW product (from other companies) comes out, they still want to be the first to adopt the new technology (e.g. IPHONE). Let's start with PROS1 - it has the biggest screen of any DVD player 9"2 - it has a good remote control (most don't have one)3 - it accepts and plays movies from IPOD/iPhone4 - it receives and plays movies from both USB CONS1 - you can not fold the screen when you turn it off to protect it (it opens and closes to protect DVD and IPOD/IPHONE2 - the screen is very delicate and prone to scratches, fingernail leaves marks 3 - Remote control seems to have more functions than built-in buttons 4 - No menu function if you have multiple movies on USB or SD card, no fast forward or skip 5 - SD card slot only accepts up to 2GB SD card (not HD -compatible ) 6 - The IPOD menu on the screen is so simple and slow, not to mention difficult to navigate 7 - It only accepts ONE format (DIVX) on the SD and USB film inputs, and nowhere has the video format been accepted and the c Use coding marks (I had to spend 3 days to understand it)8 - t Tech support sucks, the people who reply to you don't even know what the product is. All they do is read you from the supplied manual (and that sucks too), in my opinion wait for the best JWIN model to come out, not the best tech company out there, my built-in ALPINE DVD -Main unit can do more than that. Even though I paid 1000€ for it

Pros
