plays everything region-1 I've tried: commercial DVD, DVD-R, DVD+R, VCD, SVCD. Won't play non-region-1 discs, plays non-region-coded discs fine.

slim, portable, relatively sturdy unit, nice bright 7" widescreen display. All the essential buttons are on the unit itself: monitor controls, forward/backward, title, menu, return, up/down/sides/ok, play, pause, stop, and eject. (mechanical)
