I have a friend who bought one and said it's good. Play everything, DVD, SVCD, VCD, CDR/CDRW. Anyway, if you are not satisfied, you can return it in a month I think.Some DVD player from China can't play CDR, like the BU BU Gao I have now. There's a rating list at http://www.vcdhelp.com/dvdplayers.php. You will have more detailed info there. Good luck!
