Aiwa HT-DV 90 MP

Advantages: Plays MP3 and VCDs, Multi Region (Remote Hack)
Disadvantages: None that I found

...The Aiwa XD-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... Read review

Advantages: Brilliant picture, plays MP3s, Multi-Region
Disadvantages: Dodgy 4:3 conversion

...The most competitive segment of the DVD Player market is, without question, the budget end. You see, if you're going to spend £300+ on a DVD Player, you already know (to a certain extent) that it's going to be good. If, on the other hand, you're looking at something in the region of £200, you will find that some players are *substantially* better than others, meaning that hours of careful research has to be done before handing over any cash. Well, I've already done my homework, and ended up with the relatively new Aiwa XD-DV370. The most popular player at this price is definitely the Wharfedale 750S, but the problem I have with it is this: If it's so good, why is every DVD forum on the Internet filled with posts like " won't work on my wharfie!!"? It clearly offers good performance, but with an incompatibility list nearly... Read review

Advantages: it plays DVD's, MP3's, and VCD's. It also has opticial outputs
Disadvantages: The MP3 menu is a little trickey at first

...to play MP3's and an optical output so I could transfer them to my MP3 player. The Aiwa XD-DV370 does both but with an added bonous. It playes VCD's aswell but I am pretty sure that you can't get them here but I have quite a few that I bought for my PC. I have only seen them in the Asian market and only in CD-R in other places. I've heard other unlucky people have had problems with other particular models of DVD players. They said that the special features menu olny avaliable to DVD's didn't show up. I have had no problems with this model and it is great. There was only one part that I found more complicated than the rest. The was the menu system for playing MP3's. I found it quite hard at first to create a playlist instead of selecting one song each time but with a little time and practise, it isn... Read review
