My friend bought me the DVD playback remote for christmas and I have to say that it's a sweet feature. There is NO hangups that I've seen and all the DVD movies that I've put in it work. The picture is crisp and sound is clear, it rivals a bargian dvd player. Excellent addon.

I have it and it works great. It rivials my toshiba dvd player that now sits in my living room. Hey just program your universal remote to RCA and you are all set.

MY OPINION= See above post ^ ^ ^

Only thing is that if you have an HDTV or EDTV then buy a progressive scan player. Picture quality is sooo much better and you can take advantage of 480p and anamorphic dvds. Plus as Hugh_Jass has said before, less wear and tear on your Xbox.

u can use a universal remote on xbox???

**Plewis** · 03-19-2002

I bought my xbox too! I worked all summer, and about wasted it all on the xbox... not that its a waste.

I had to buy just about everything on my own except for christmas presents, and the naki case

EDIT: I forgot that I was going to say I use my xbox dvd too, and so does my family

Yes, but you still need the dongle.

Its definitely missing a couple of cool features on the remote/menu though. I would of liked different slow-mo features, a zoom that you can actually change the zoom location and not always centred, etc.

Its good though, alot better than the DVD-Rom/decoder card setup I had before.

Man, I guess they just hire anyone at Best Buy. Thats one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard.

I think I'll probably get a DVD kit for Xbox.

**Master Gracey** · 03-19-2002

I've used the DVD playback kit and I'll tell you that I'm impressed. They put in features that are only on the most expensive players.

The only problem with it is ease of use... it's hard to find where certain functions are using the remote. But once you figure it out, everything works like a charm.

you can zoom other places, you just gotta exit outta the menu and then use the arrows

Nice! I didn't know that. I think I'll try that.

Yes, I do have it, and I love it. Works just fine for me.

I just got the DVD Playback Kit a few days ago! WOOT! It works great, the 2nd nite I was like DOH! Why not program it into my universal remote!

It works great with my Sima SUR-20 (touch screen) Universal Remote Control.
