I bought the Samsung P331 DVD player because I wanted to show picture CDs on my TV. It worked, but the slideshow often froze and I had to hit forward repeatedly to get it to continue. It also tended to pixilate and freeze with my homemade DVDs. Finally, it stopped working with ALL DVDs after just 17 months of occasional use. I only used it 2 or 3 times a month! Of course, customer service won't do anything but charge me $79.00 to fix it. I will never buy another Samsung DVD player again.
