Customer Reviews

Not very reliable
I have had this player for 9 months and it has been fine up until now. It played multi region dvds and div x files with no problems until a couple of days a go when it stopped playing discs altogether. No matter what kind of disc I put in, it keeps coming up with 'bad disc'. It hasn't even lasted the year. I guess you pay for what you get.

Great Value, Great Player
I've only used this player to play .avi (div-x) files and I have to say it works a treat. I have two other div-x players and this one plays files the others won't touch so ignore the other reviewer who gives it a low score.

If you get problems with audio out of sync with video (on any player), try pausing for a few seconds before resuming. It's also worth trying different media.

It looks good and it's dirt cheap - I got mine when it was £29.99 from Amazon.

Erratic and frustrating
I bought this to play .avi/Divx files. And I'm hugely disappointed. You might insert a disc and it will give you a menu and then play the file perfectly, then later you might insert that same disc and it will display BAD DISC or WRONG FILE CONTENT. And unfortunately the latter instances far outnumber the former. The fact that the player is capable of reading and playing the discs sometimes and not others lead me to conclude that it is the player, not the disc, at fault. You might argue that you get what you pay for, but even a cheap player still ought to play content consistently.
