Review: MY STORY
Well, it came out like this: I blew my 14-day-in-a-row, one-review-a-day streak. This is because of the great Columbia Space Shuttle tragedy (and oh yes, I remember – the great picture incident (more on that later)). Anyhow,...

Basics

The remote works like any other dvd remote. You can fast forward, rewind, pause, stop, go to menu etc....

Review: So shoot me, I didn't have a DVD player already. It would have been useless on my old 20" TV. Once I got a new 32" model, I could then use a DVD player. So I started shopping for a DVD player and ran across the samsung NUON thing that claimed to play...
