Customer Reviews

Euro Plug!!!
Similar to other reviews here, I was also sent an European model and have had to shell out on a mains adapter. Other than that it is a fantastic item, Just do not buy it from Pixmania.

***DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT FROM PIXMANIA***
I have had the same experience as others below from Pixmania and was delivered a french DVD player with french instructions. It works OK but is not what I wanted or ordered and the hassle and cost of returning it for a £50 player is not worth it. I phoned them up today to complain as their website does not state it is a european model and their response was 'we are operating well within the law as we give you a UK adaptor and you can download english instructions off our website'. So much for customer service and not misleading people! Next time I will go to a high street store or buy from Amazon UK direct.

Initially disapointed
It was a pain that this arrived later than the other 3 items I ordered (Sony TV & HDMI leads), but guess expected as third party supplier.
When DVD did arrive it came with a Euro plug - as such I had to spend my time finding a plug converter locally (Which is not easy in a small town).
Also the TV cannot automatically see the DVD player via HDMI connection, I have to select it via AV#. I could not check the instruction book as this is in french. I know it will work (I hope in the end) but there should not be this up front hassle, I could of brought it from a retail outlet for £59. Iguess I should be talking about the picture that does seem ok, but the hassle has taken off the gloss of the purchase. I am awaiting Pixmania's reply.
