Customer Reviews

A little hacked off....
On ordering this product the main features wanted were the upscaling and the fact i could enable this to play multi region disks.

I practically received this in record time (bravo Mr Tronics), The upscaling works a treat (huge tick) although annoyingly the multi region fix appears not to work anymore !!!!!

The player looks slick and sits well with my tv and would almost certainly of given 4/5 stars had the multi region of worked.

HD DVD is dead :o(
I take no pleasure in the fact that "Blu-ray" won but anyone who buys this now must have loved "Betamax" more than was healthy.

No problems with ours?????
I bought this for my partner for Christmas to match our fab new Samsung 40" LCD TV with all that HD jazz (now thats a wicked piece of kit). Its been great for us. We only really watch original DVDs so can't comment on the DVD-r use and we haven't yet found the need to make it multi-region (didn't even know it could be changed to multi). I bought it because it looked good/slim & has the HDMI upscaling both of which do as they should beautifully. Casino Royale and the like are of an amazing quality, remote works fine, looks good!! I would recommend it.
