Reliable little player - 22 Jan 2008

This is a great DVD player which has performed well on all but the scratchiest discs. The USB function has also worked flawlessly. Very good machine for the price.

Great Player! - 01 Jan 2008

This is a fantastic player, and I agree with all the good reviews it's got here. Just a few v minor things I don't like:

- The DVD drawer is very thin, and feels a bit flimsy.
- It seems to create a lot of interference on Ch 58 (BBC1 for me!) when on. Fine in standby though.
- The player body is silver, not black, which I think would've looked more sleek.

Other than that, I love it - it's played rental DVDs flawlessly that my other players skip on. USB is brilliant, and it's played every file I've tried. I'm very pleased with it!

Just to let you know that i just got this item. It is great, it works great with divx files and the picture quality is also stunning. Great value for the money spent!

Excellent for the money - 01 Nov 2007

I owned the previous model to this and was generally pleased with it. My dad has that now. I bought this because it has a better disk loading mechanism and because of the USB port. (I also bought a 4GB flash drive to use with it). So far, it has performed as I'd hoped. DVDs are crystal clear, but that's usual these days.

But it's the USB port that really interested me. The idea of just sticking in a flash drive rather than burning DVDRs makes a lot of sense to me. Before my new flash drive came, I stuck my USB mp3 player in. It was immediately recognised and I was able to play all my mp3s. Not great sound through the TV but you can always hook the DVD up to some decent speakers.

Once the flash drive came, I copied some music videos to it and stuck it in the DVD player. Just like the mp3 player, the flash drive was recognised straight away and the videos were listed in directory/alpha order. Set one to play and they'll play sequentially from that point within the directory.

Quality is basically the quality of the file. I had no problem playing both AVIs and mpegs, but it choked on a couple of the files. After a bit of playing around my best guess (at the moment) is that the player didn't like the resolution, which was 720x. After re-encoding to 480x576 the vids played fine. Easy enough to re-encode short music videos, more of a pain with movies.

On the whole, although it's still early days, it's doing what I want, so I'm well pleased.

video codec not supported - 28 Oct 2007

on first glance it plays everything until i tried certain avi files and the machine comes up with an error message reading "video codec not supported" & will only play the audio of the file. not really impressed, unless theres a way around this problem i'll be sending it back!
