Alba having some of that!

Advantages: Dirt cheap, slimline, plays MP3's and CD's.
Disadvantages: Not multi-region, remote will not last.

...As such finding the Alba DVD45 for a mere £27.99 in my local Asda was a Godsend.

Measuring 36 cm across and 5 cm high this is a surprisingly slimline DVD player. It is quite stylish for the price with a silver shell and black panel front. Setting it up is refreshingly simple and requires plugging the scart lead (supplied) into the back of the DVD player and then into the scart socket on the television. Plug it in and away you go. ...
...Russia!

In case you have not guessed already I am more than happy with my cheap and cheerful purchase. It doesn't make the toast, it's not perfect but I wanted a functional DVD player for little cost and the Alba DVD45 is precisely that.

cheap and nasty

Advantages: cheap
Disadvantages: dvd's freeze, bulky remote

...you can say about the Alba DVD45- it's cheap. And it does play DVD's and music CD's, which is what it's designed to do. However, as it gets warmer the DVD's tend to freeze for no apparent reason (what we like to call the dramatic pause). This will usually happen toward the end of the film, at some crucial moment. There seems to be no way of getting it started yet, you just have to wait. The warmer the player gets the more this happens so if you ...
...can expect them to be plagued wiht dramatic pauses. Also, it takes a while to load the DVD in the first place, and sometimes seems not to work at all. The picture quality is good, not spectactular (although I guess this is also related to the TV that you are using with it) Sound is fairly ordinary. It is very easy to install- just connect a few wires to your TV and it's done. Overall, I would say spend a little bit more and get a better quality ...

ALba DVD45

Advantages: Cheap
Disadvantages: they work for a week

My son wanted a DVD player for christmas along with a great list of other things. So as he is only 5 and wanted everything else in the world I though yeah ok but i'll just get a cheap one from Argos. Which I did it was only £24.99 which is not bad at all. I set it up for him on boxing night so he could watch one of his new DVD's easy enough to set up plugged it in e.t.c put in a dvd and it would not load so I tried anothe dvd then another then another ...
...saying no disc, so after a little trip to see the family for new year off i went to argos to get it replaced which they did with no hesitation! Took the new one home set it up put in a disk HURRAY it worked so my son was really pleased, 12 days later it goes wrong again this time the disks were freezing so i done the usual cleaned the disk etc got a lens cleaner and it worked again for 2 days, then it started saying no disk again after the 10th ...

Does what it says on the box!

Advantages: This product is good value for money
Disadvantages: Picture quality not as good as I would have hoped

This cheap and cheerful DVD player does exactly what it says on the box. It is a no frills, simple piece of machinery that quite simply plays DVDs and CDs. Some interesting things it does is play in slow motion and you can also view DVDs from different angles (if the DVD you're watching has been recorded with this functionality). There is not much more to it than that, but if this is all you're looking for, then there is not too much wrong with this ...

Get what you pay for

Advantages: Cheap and cheerful
Disadvantages: Limited options

Well, you can't really argue at that price can you. It plays DVDs, nothing more, nothing less. Menus are easy to use, controller makes sense even though it has a lot of buttons. If you want a simple DVD player that you can watch DVDs on, witout worrying that you've spent hundreds of pounds on something that will be defunct in a few years, then go for one of these. You get the basics of a DVD player, and if in the end you find taht you can't live ...

Bad experience with Alba DVD player.

Advantages: Cheap.
Disadvantages: Unreliable.

I recenty gave up the fight to resist investing in new technology and bought a DVD player. It worked fine and was easy to operate. It even played DVD's from other regions, once I found a code on the internet to unlock it. However, after watching three DVD's it refused to play the fourth. To be fair, it was a free DVD given away with the Sunday Times that may have been faulty. Anyway, the problem reported on screen was that the DVD was the 'wrong ...
...regions brought up the same error message until all the regions had been exhausted. I tried another bona fide DVD that had previously worked and still got the same error message. So, after three DVD's it gave up the ghost and is now languishing in the dustbin as it is cheaper and less hassle to just buy another player (they are now under £20 at Asda). ...
