Customer Reviews

Awesome picture quality!!!!
I have one of these for my sons bedroom and expected the quality to be just ''satisfactory'', boy was I in for a shock!!

Firstly its all fully auto set up both Digital and Analogue tuners just set them selves up at the push of a button which meant my son was quite and tuned into Cbeebies within minutes. It was then I realised how crisp the images were, later on he was watching football and unlike my TV in the living room the moving images were perfect, no shadow or blur just perfect! The upscaling DVD is a real bonus too, its not a feature that ive come across on combi units before but it makes all films look 1000 times better!

The usability of the product is first class with a easy to navigate electronic programme guide and settings menus.

Overall a top notch product at a bargain price!

Worth Every Penny
I bought one of these for £189.99 for my daughter's room asa christmas present - may i first congratulate amazon on 48hr delivery depsite using the super-saver delivery option.

Back to the product - it feels heavy and well put together, all the money seems to have been spent in the right places - the fascia is sleek and shiny, the sound and picture quality are miles better than i expected and it plays everything ive thrown at it including divx on dual layer dvd+r, american and english original dvd's and hdcd, audio cd....

The only gripes I have are the remote is quite poorly laid out (i am used to a logitech harmony though :-) ) which seems to be a universal feature of 'lesser-brand' electronics and the bits you cant see - i.e. the buttons around the top and side are a little more flimsy than youd expect given first impressions.

Overall though I would thoroughly reccomend this based on the price and wealth of features that you get and outstanding performance.

Sound and Vision
Excellent VFM. Good picture easy setup nice little DVD but.......
unless I'm missing something in the set up the sound quality is very poor and sounds are out of sync on some channels. This may be due to signal strength not sure. But when all said and done like I say good VFM.
