Magnavox DV220MW9 Disc Player Review
Our verdict
The Magnavox DV220MW9 is a 720p wired disc player priced at $485.99, which is a significant premium for its output level. Its 3.8-star rating from 600 reviews is on the lower side, and the price-to-performance ratio is difficult to justify against current alternatives.

The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other AV receivers and amplifiers, soundbars, home theater speakers, subwoofers, surround sound systems and Blu-ray players we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The Magnavox DV220MW9 is a wired disc player that outputs at 720p HD and weighs 7.25 lb. The listed connectivity is wired DVD player, suggesting a traditional setup rather than a modern network-connected player. At $485.99, it occupies an unusual price tier for a 720p unit.
The gap between price and capability is the main concern. Many current players deliver 1080p or even 4K output at a fraction of this cost. The DV220MW9's pricing likely reflects a combo player configuration or a niche replacement market rather than raw value.
With 600 reviews averaging 3.8 stars, owner satisfaction is below average for this category. That combination of high price and below-average ratings makes it a hard recommendation for general buyers.

Frequently asked questions
Why does the DV220MW9 cost $485.99 for 720p output?
The high price likely reflects a combo unit configuration, such as a DVD and VCR combination, or availability as a specialty replacement product rather than a standard single-function player. For straight disc playback at 720p, many alternatives exist at a much lower price.
Can the DV220MW9 connect to a modern TV?
The listed connectivity is wired DVD player, with no HDMI specified. Buyers with modern TVs should confirm whether the available outputs match their TV's inputs before purchasing. An HDMI adapter may be required or a different player may be more practical.
Is the DV220MW9 a good value at its current price?
At $485.99 for 720p output and a 3.8-star average, the value case is weak compared to current alternatives. Unless this specific model is required for a particular compatibility reason, buyers will find better specifications and higher satisfaction scores at lower prices from other brands.
