Advantages: Stylish, good performance, relatively cheap
Disadvantages: no dolby surround

This is a good, satisfactory dvd player such as you would want for a low price. It's good for the price that it is at so you shouldn't be expecting the world at this price. It's a solid, stylish player that i think does look very good indeed and has the usual list of playable formats e.g. DVD/DVD-R/DVD-RW**/DVD+R, etc. It also plays CDs, VCDs, SVCDs and i can't find fault with any of its functions - it is a very functionable little box. DivX® compatible, ...
...It has virtual surround and this works very well with a few speakers and a subwoofer. It has several functions for convenience that you would expect such as Photo + Music Mix (JPEG Slideshow with Music); advanced GUI; a disc navigator for easy browsing; last (position) memory: 5 (DVD)/1 (VCD); resume function, screen saver, auto power off. And i could go on and on listing all the functions available. Yet i'll leave it that this is a solid performer ... Read review

The remote control is easy to use and relatively uncluttered and a very good size - batteries are included. The machine is very quiet which was surprising because most lower-budget DVD players are often quite noisy when they are playing making whirring and vibrating noises. As for picture quality it is superb and I have never had a DVD jump ... Read review

Advantages: as good as blu-ray , extreamly cheap , bargins to be had everywhere
Disadvantages: no longer supported format

..., with the announcement that Toshiba is to withdraw from the hd race for the next format it leaves hd-dvd players in a very poor position in the market place , however do not let this put you off , there is already a great library off hd-dvd discs out there and as there is no region coding on the discs ,this means you can order via eBay direct from use for even more titles , of course the likelihood of new movies coming out on this format are very ...

No bundled HDMI cable, just a completely useless RCA cable.Weird buttons on the top. I wish they'd just have front buttons so I can stack stuff on it - but I guess it looks cooler. ... Read review
