My other dvd player let me watch things at 1.5 time, with working audio. Does this one have a variable playback speed option?

It does offer variable speed slow and fast playback, from 1/16 to 32x, but no audio at other than normal speed. I used to have a VHS machine with the feature you describe and I used it for watching things like the news, but I can't imagine wanting to watch movies like that? But good luck with your search just the same.

Brian, I did purchase this DVD player and it will not upscale through component, only through HDMI. I guess I have to live with 480p for now until I get a TV with HDMI inputs.

There is a pause/play button I haven't tried it with anything but the cd. My only issue so far is not being able to see display in sun. Also had issue with "standard" install hole not lining up during install. I really like the player, though.

Mine plays DVDs better than any DVD player. Return your unit and get another one.

It plays the songs at the normal speed. I am not sure what you mean by "speed control". You can go from one song to the next or the preceding song, but you cannot scroll through a song to a particular spot.

I use my player for what it is, a DVD player and it works very well. I am not interested in downloading therefore I have absolutely no idea.

I also have this DVD player, it does seem to take longer than most to power up OR load a disc. It's not that long however, & the picture quality is worth it. Mine doesn't take 30-45 seconds to load.

I do not use audio discs in it so I cannot answer the question, I only know that it will fast play and resume with a DVD.

Okay guys I got the player yesterday and had the same problem so I did some massive googling for 2 hours and found the solution: Press Display, and then use the Up and Down arrows to scroll through the different display options. When you see the timestamp go off, just let it sit there for like 4 seconds and the display will go off. I had to do this once for divx videos, and once for dvd videos and have not had a problem since.

No, it does not. When the unit is on and a disk is playing, you will see the current playback position, but when the unit is off there is no display.

Hi there K.........how did this unit turn out for you? I've had mine for a couple of years so far, and it plays DVD's great. I gave up on learning how to copy a tape to a disk, but that is the one feature I needed to rid myself of boxes of old VCR tapes. (See my posts dated 2/21/10.) James says I need a tuner, however the inst. book does not mention that. Thanks for the help, Jeanette

My earlier answer was erroneous. After reading the Charles Lohr reply I confirmed that in fact during playback you can adjust playback speed using the plus & minus buttons after pressing the OK button a second time (the first time starts playback). It seems to retain the last playback speed selection even after shutting down.

Yes! While I have not used that feature, the package clearly says "New! Variable speed controls---speed up or slow down any part of your video."

I t doesn't "play" any speeds, it is an analog to digital interface that you connect between your turntable or tape deck (or to take audio from a vcr tape, etc) and run into your computer. It only looks like a turntable. I actually haven't even used mine yet. Hope this helps.

I would search online under "iView 105HD 1080p 5.1 Channel DVD Player user's guide" or "iView 105HD 1080p 5.1 Channel DVD Player owner's manual". That way you won't lose anything in interpretation or opinion.

Yep! I would suggest choosing the program to play it through instead of letting it autoplay, but it has a disk drive.

You gave no info agout your machine and operating system so I can just answer you in general. I watch DVD and BR using VLC player. There are other player capable of doing that but i've been using VLC for a long time so I stick with it. The device is plugged directly into a USP port on my laptop (Toshiba) with no additional connections. It seems that the current provided by a regular USP port on a computer is enough to operate it. I don't have it that long (about a month) so I don't know if any problems develop with time.Ronny
