Customer Reviews

Fantastic!
Ordered on Tuesday, delivered on Thursday! Great service. It truly is plug and play! My son is already watching DVD's bought in the US. completely hassle free purchase and great value for money

This IS Multi region
I've been looking for a divx player for a while now, and wanted one with multi region capability also. I eventually bought this dvd player from amazon.co.uk, as it was clearly labelled 'multi region'.

Reading the reviews on amazon, some said it was multi region straight out of the box. For me, when putting any other region dvd other than 2, it played in black and white. After a bit of research, and thinking I'd have to fork out more money to get the box chipped, I discovered the problem. The dvd player is multi region, but my tv was not understanding the video format of the region 1 disc. A simple solution I discovered is simply to change the colour settings on the dvd menu (when there is no disc in it) to RGB.

Having achieved this, I am now a very happy customer! All region discs now play in full colour, as do divx formats, CD-RW etc.

On top of the function, the box is a sleek looking player. Very slim and very pretty. I got it for a fantastic price. Definitely recommended!

Superb Bargain
There's a number of conflicting reviews regarding this product - this is mainly concerning the player's multi region capabilities. I have to say, now that I actually have one, I can confirm that this is a 100% multi region player - mine plays both my region 1 and region 3 discs without a problem. In fact, for £35 this player is a bargain - if your current player has packed up or is about to do so, then this machine is an excellent interim purchase until Blu Ray players become more affordable. I've tried all types of media on mine DivX; +R; +RW; -R; -RW - it even plays my Dual Layer 8.5Gb discs! A sleek looking machine that is outstanding value and from a top brand as well - I've awarded this 5 outta 5 simply based on features provided at such a low price - highly recommended!
