2,200 owner reviews, more than most models here
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.

Overview
['At $24.99, the Maite DVP-999 targets the very bottom of the disc player market. It handles standard DVD discs and connects via USB and RCA composite outputs, which means you are capped at 720p HD resolution regardless of your TV.', 'With 2,200 ratings averaging 3.9 out of 5, buyer reception is lukewarm but not damning. Most complaints center on limited format support and the absence of HDMI, both of which are expected trade-offs at this price point.', "If your TV still has composite inputs and you need a simple DVD player for a spare room or a child's use, the DVP-999 covers the basics. Anyone expecting Blu-ray playback or sharp upscaled 1080p over HDMI should look elsewhere in this price range."]

Frequently asked questions
Does the Maite DVP-999 have an HDMI output?
No, the DVP-999 connects only via USB and RCA composite outputs. There is no HDMI port, so you will need a TV with composite inputs. Picture quality is limited by the analog connection and the 720p resolution ceiling.
Can the DVP-999 play Blu-ray discs?
No, the DVP-999 is a standard DVD player and does not support Blu-ray discs. It plays standard DVDs and can read media files via USB, but Blu-ray is not a format it handles.
Is this a good option for an older TV without HDMI?
It can work for that use case since it has RCA composite outputs that match the inputs on older televisions. Just keep in mind that picture quality will be limited to 720p and standard DVD resolution, which is typical for this connection type.
