Advantages: Plays DivX AVI and MPEG files, Supports lots of formats, Looks good, Karaoke, Disadvantages: DivX 3.11, 4.02 plays slightly slanted, cheap plasticy remote, Doesn't play some NTSC encoded files
I've wanted a DVD player that was capable of playing DivX files for a while because of all my anime and por...errr....other video files..., but the players cost more than normal DVD players so resisted for a while. I've seen brands such as KISS and Yamada but later came across this DKDigitalDVD-500 DivX DVD player after the prices have dropped. It only cost £41.98 (61.52 Euros) from SVP Communications (AKA Blank Disc Shop).
-= The Player =-
The player looks sleek with a black and silver design. Black at the front with silver at the top and bottom curving in towards each other at the middle, which I think looks really good. The player itself looks quite durable and the tray isn't flimsy like some I've seen. The LCD display shows the numbers in green and other details such as TRK, DVD, etc in red. I think it's very easy to read ...
Advantages: Superb Sound, Very Loud, Ideal for Ipods Disadvantages: not go to travel with, Extremely Expensive
Bose SoundDock Digital Music System
I happened to get this as a gift and it turned out to be quiet interesting
Summary:
This dock is used mainly for ipod and allows you to connet mp3 players to it and listen to high quality music via speakers. It is idle for homes and small gatherings, although I would not run a party off these.
Pros:
This system has terrific sound and can go very load despite its relative small size. As with almost all Bose speakers the quality is amazing, so long as the source you are playing it from is high quality it will allow the speakers to each its potential.
I have a surround sound Bose set up in one of my rooms but now prefer to use this product as it is very simple to operate. Just plug the mp3 player in and press play and your set. Can't get much simpler. It also runs off a wall ...
Advantages: Plays MP3, AVI and MPG files, Easy to operate, Good sound options Disadvantages: Does not Play WMV, Buttons on remote slightly confusing at first
I came accross this player on Ebuyer, when I was looking for a DivX player, as I often have MPG files I make with my Digital camera and would like to see them on my TV without a lot of conversions - making a VCD is not tht simple! This brilliant player lists all the files on the CD - saved as a data disc - and plays them without a problem! It has different formats for sound and is compatible with Dobly Digital sound systems, DTS and even THX! It looks very smart and compact and is highly verstile. It was also under 60 pounds, so a real bargain! I wouldn't hesitate recommending it! I can now backup all my video collections and save loads of space on my PC! ...
