Samsung DVD-N501 DVD Player Review


There are a host of DVD players on the consumer market to choose from these days. What causes the DVD-N501 to stand out is the inclusion of a Nuon chip. The Nuon chip is an added-value device which is supposed to speed up the overall performance of the DVD player, and provide interactive capabilities along the lines of a Sony Playstation.

There are a handful of features which come bundled with the Nuon chip which we will explain in a moment, but basically what it does is turn the DVD player in to a set-top gaming station - joysticks and all.

The DVD-N501 comes with the following goodies:
  • Remote & Batteries
  • Audio / Video Cables
  • NUON game pad
  • Instructions
  • Manufacturer: Samsung
  • Cost: ~$260USD
The player can read the following types of discs: DVD, VCD, Audio CD's, MP3 CD's, and NUON DVD's.
