Our take on the Emerson ED-8001 DVD Player

The Emerson ED-8001 is a compact, budget-minded DVD player that also handles CDs, VCDs, MP3, MPEG4 and JPG files. Its standout feature is USB playback and recording, which lets you rip audio CDs to MP3 on a flash drive. It is region-free and runs on 110-240V, so it works abroad. It suits people who want a simple second player for a bedroom, RV or older TV, but it lacks HDMI and upscaling, so it trails Blu-ray players and HDMI-equipped DVD players on picture quality.
