Full review

I bought the Compacks 6972DVD player and found it to be an excellent product.

ADVANTAGES
This small (9" x 9.5" x 1 3/4") sleek looking Silver unit, can be tucked away in to the smallest of crevises. It is easy to use and comes packed with features that you would normally have to pay a great deal for. It will play any region (0 - 9) and for the price that I paid I could not have asked for anything better. (£19.99 inc postage). It comes with a lightweight easy to use remote that has the usual features A-B, OSD, Open, Power, Prog, Audio, Subtitle, 4 speed modes (X2 - X16) Pause, Play and Title, not to mention the standard command buttons, and much more.
Very easy to get started, just plug in using a standard Scart lead and bobs your uncle....

DISADVANTAGES
The remote is your control, if you lose it, it would be very difficult to use the DVD player. The only controls on the front of the unit are the On/Off button, eject, Stop, Play/pause.
The picture when the unit is first switched on can jump about a bit, ( a second or two only) and then the picture is very good.
It does not come with a Scart lead, you have to get this seperately. The unit as a whole could be classed as too small, next to a VCR or Sky unit / Freeview unit etc.

CONCLUSION

I have found this unit to be of an excellent quality and the features that come with it are unbelievable for the price. Despite some of the bad points above it has to be one of the best purchases I have made. To get a Multi-region DVD player for under £20 with these features, you be mad not to buy one.....
