my boyfriend and i purchased this dvd player from amazon for £17.99 when our old dvd player broke in May. i was slightly sceptical about Compacks Dvd6972 as the brand is not that well known, and because it was so cheap, i thought the quality may be compromised. But was I wrong! It was easy to set up, and is only 23cm x 24cm in size. it fitted perfectly on top of my Freeview box i have and it's design also blended in quite well with the rest of my entertainment stuff! it is a sleek, silver kind of design, so would probably match a lot of peoples existing set ups in their living room.

the picture quality is superb. i dont own a HD tv yet, but on my normal old crappy tv the picture is clear and bright. the sound is great too, and it is great for playing your cd's on as well as your film dvd's. i still cannot believe that we paid less than £20 for a dvd player!! i would recommend this product to any one. even if you wanted a really flash dvd player, i would still say try this one, as it does exactly what you want it to, and for a fraction of what Philips or Bush may charge for a similar player!!

the only problem i have with this product is that the remote control is very light and is very very slim !! i have lost this at least 5 times since i bought the dvd player, but it always ends up down the side of the sofa! the remote is only 16.5cm x 5.5cm and is only 1.3cm thick. but i suppose i would be complaining if it was too big as well! it requires 2xAAA batteries and has quite a lot of buttons on it - some of which i have never used. but all in all, this product is of brilliant quality , excellent value for money, and would be recommended by me to anyone who wanted a DVD player.
