Greetings from a DVD newbie -


I bought one of these $99 specials from the local "Aldi" store, as advertised in their flyer. In general, it appears to be a well made product, with lots of features for the price -- including MP3, built in 5.1 / DTS decoder, etc.


I'm currently having a problem in that the DVD player seems to be sensitive to IR interference from other remotes. For example, when I use my Tivo remote to adjust the volume on my Sony TV, the DVD player goes to the setup menu. It also appears to react to various buttons on the remote that controls a Yamaha receiver.


Just wondering if anybody has similar experiences or may have any ideas. I called the Tevion service center, and they have offered to swap the unit out, but didn't offer much hope that it would fix the problem.


Thanks!



I also posted this on DVDTalk, but didn't receive any replies over there so I thought I try AVS.....

Well, I took it back to Aldi and retrieved my money. Immediately proceeded to Best Buy and picked up a Toshiba SD4700. A world of difference in the picture was seen immediately. More later after I've watched a few more discs....
