Advantages: Plays MP3 and VCDs, Multi Region (Remote Hack) Disadvantages: None that I found
...The AiwaXD-DV370 is my second DVD player after I decided that my LG3200E wasn't good enough for me. Although, the LG was a quality player for the price and it was multi-region (Remote Hack) I was after some extras.
The XD-DV370 is a clone of the LG 3350E, it has an alternative style and some reduced features. Though, it plays the same media as the LG (DVD, MP3, Audio CD and VCD). Another attraction is that it is an multi-region player once the remote hack is used (for more info see www.lgdvd.co.uk). This means that imported DVDs from the USA can played. With it able to play VCD this is quite handy as if you have a CDR you can create your VCDs and watch them.
DVDs: I have had no trouble playing any DVDs and have watched region 1 DVDs on my player.
MP3: This for me is the impressive feature, put all your favourite songs on a CD...

Advantages: Good price, good-looking machine Disadvantages: Problems with playback of soundtracks
...Having reviewed all the options open to me for a DVD player under £250, I decided on the AiwaXD-DV370.
It certainly looks the part, plays multiregion CD's (See Slinky Steve's review for the hack) and is intuitive enough to use for a mere beginner like me. However, the specific player which I have purchased has a habit of skipping about every 10 minutes. This affects mainly the sound quality - it sounds like a record jumping.
This is a shame as the whole point of owning a DVD player is the excellent quality sound and visual playback! This fault is indiscriminate across CDs and DVDs, which play back perfectly well on other people's players.
I am currently battling to exchange this product with the reatiler I purchased it from (who do not agree with me that it is faulty). Therefore as it stands I'm afraid I can't recommend this player...

Advantages: Brilliant picture, plays MP3s, Multi-Region Disadvantages: Dodgy 4:3 conversion
...as long as this review, it doesn't deserve to sit under Reficul's TV.
So, with one player already eliminated, I set the following list of requirements:
1. Can be made multi-region with a handset crack.
2. Can play CD-R/RW
3. Can play VCD (on CD-R/RW)
4. Can output DTS sound (more or less standard nowadays, but my last player couldn't do it so I thought I'd mention it anyway).
Well, the Aiwa satisfies all of these requirements, and adds a few more surprises. Read on.
To convert the XD-DV370 to any particular region, follow these steps:
1. Press Pause
2. Enter the code 314159
The player should now display "CODE --".
3. Enter the number of the region you want to set the player to, or enter '0' for region-free.
4. Press Pause
5. Power off your player and wait a few seconds
6. Power on your player

Pioneer DV-600AV was interesting for me because it has possibility to play DVD-Audio and SACD and it has got integrated
decoder with analog output for 5.1. Extra interesting is the quality of sound which some DVD players are having bad quality.

I review this laptop because i believe that it combines a good amount of everything that you would look for in a versatile pc - brains, brawn and beauty.
As a designated home pc, i find it still believable that it is a versatile mobile platform as... more
