Hitachi DV-P 325

Advantages: Price and quality, and options
Disadvantages: None

...I bought this DVD player for £300 and now it is selling for £400 - Hitachi have obviously realised that they have undersold this highly-well received player. Voted the best DVD player in the under £300 category when it originally appeared on the marketplace its classy silver exterior is a sure sign of its high calibre. Numerous options including multi-region capabilities and multiple speeds along with a great zoom function make for a very comprehensive list of additional features. The picture playback is where this little gem really shines however - you won't be disappointed with the sharp, crisp images... Read review

Disadvantages: Perhaps not ideal for an entry level machine

...Having purchased my Hitachi DVP-250 back in November 1999 I don’t have any real complaints at all. At the time I purchased the player it was exceptionally good value for money as not only can it handle Dolby 5.1 it is multi-regional and has DTS capability something not widely available at the time. The main attraction was the multi-regional capability as films are one of my real loves and I wanted to buy Region 1 DVD’s for two main reasons. The first was the early release dates and the second was the extra features on the Region 1 DVD’s. The only downer was that I had to have the player in a brushed chrome/silver colour but that was a small price to pay for the quality of the machine. It has the normal SCART connections and more than sufficient input/output ports to satisfy all but the most picky of people... Read review
