Reviews of DVD Players »
It's a DVD player...it plays DVDS.
Advantages: Looks nice, plays DVDs, good price
Disadvantages: Whirrs when it plays
...players.
I chose this Alba DVD Player DS-5711 because it was £22.99, but wasn’t the most basic one on offer – I decided to splash out and not go for the cheapest. I’ve had Alba products before, and although they tend to be at the lower end of the market I’ve always been happy with them.
In theory, the DVD player is very easy to set up. Me being me, I managed to make a bit of a meal of it – because I hadn’t realised that one of the scart sockets ...
...keep electrical items until they literally fall apart, can you tell?), so I thought that the player wasn’t compatible with my rather old TV until I had the brainwave of unplugging my digibox and trying the player in that scart socket. To get the DVD player hooked up, all you need to do is plug it into a plug socket and plug it into a scart socket on the TV – there are other ways of connecting it to a TV but this will be the most use.

Alba DVD 62 - You get what you pay for...
Advantages: Cheap, small, easy to use
Disadvantages: Over time stops playing recorded discs
I purchased a Alba DVD62XI from Argos about a year ago as I wanted a cheap DVD player than played recorded DVDs. This is the cheapest I could find (based on other reviews that it played copied discs).
The DVD player worked fine for about 3 or 4 months before I started having issues. After that time the DVD player began skipping and lost the ability to read recorded discs. Nothing had happened in that time (The player had not been dropped or even ...
...to why it happened. I know someone else who has the exact same player and they have had the same issues, although it took a little bit longer to happen.
In conclusion - The DVD player is still playing normal DVD's now (2 years down the line), but If you are looking for a cheap DVD player that plays recorded discs (as I was), spend a little bit more. I eventually ended up paying £25ish for a Panasonic DVD player (not sure of model) and this does ...

Cheap 'n' very cheerful
Advantages: Excellent value for money
Disadvantages: No stand-by
...surprised to see the word ALBA on the side and after questioning this; I was informed that the ALBA and BUSH machines were in fact identical. Not overly fussed about the manufacturer, I accepted this and was now in possession of an ALBA DVD165.
The Look
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Okay, so this machine was never going to be as stunning looking as some of the high end players with there transparent perspex fronts, and strips of shiny aluminium, but for a machine ...
...out of light weight plastic, the machine feels sturdy enough, but I would not be over keen of stacking anything on it. The width and depth of the machine is pretty standard, but at under 5cm in height it is, in my opinion, very slim and unobtrusive. The body of the machine is silver in colour with a black strip across the front. On the left of this is the power button and the display panel, which when the machine is on shows up as blue. The disc ...

barginous Alba dvd player
Advantages: cheap, multi-region dvd player!
Disadvantages: quite hard to find nowadays
...your nose up at the Alba DVD65, only now seemingly spotted in post offices, and sale rails of any random shop - but this is one of the best dvd players I've bought! so much so, that I actually have two of them. It does play dvd's from all regions, plays cd's, pre-recorded and ones you've done yourself, I forget what all the technical hoo-hah is for it, I'm sure you can look it up on here somewhere... lol. It really is a brilliant quality player - ...
...ntsc tv or not.
There aren't too many buttons on the remote control, and it's so easy to operate even my mum could do it. It is particularly compact, and rather stylish. It doesn't have a display on the player itself, but you don't actually need it. ...
