Logix DVD-3300D

Advantages: Good package, good features, decent price
Disadvantages: None

I have only recently got around to getting a DVD player and I am glad I waited because the price and quality of machines now allows plenty of choice. [Availability and Price] This DVD player is available from a number of sources. I got mine from Watford Electronics for about £140 with 10 DVDs. Tescos have it for £150 with 10 DVDs. Other email ads have turned up at Watford’s price. [Support] There is a helpline charged at standard national rate. ...
...[Installation] Dead easy. I left the machine for a couple of hours in case it had got cold during transportation – avoiding condensation, you see. Connected it to the TV with the supplied SCART cable and turned the power on. The only setting I changed was the secret menu to set it up as multi region rather than region 2. (DVD disks can be branded for use in a particular region of the world. We are in region 2 and I think USA is region 1. If your ... Read review

Advantages: Remotely change it to region-free
Disadvantages: Picture freezing / locking up frequently with DVD-R & DVD-RW discs, no FF buttons on the front of the player

My Logix 3300D doesn't look like the one in the photograph from the link, but there you go. (Mine is also silver). Originally this was proclaimed to be an all-singing unit but I've found to my costs that this is NOT true. I was told it played SVCD discs. It does, in a fashion, as it plays them so judderily and badly that this is just not practical to do so. To be fair, the literature that comes with the unit DOES NOT say that it will play SVCDs, ...
...If you burn your own DVDs don't buy this DVD player - it just isn't up to it because the picture either pixelates or freezes far too regularly. Sometimes the unit freezes so badly that the only way to get the disc out is by powering off at the front and switching on again and then pressing eject. After inserting a DVD-RW disc into the unit, it takes about 20 seconds to even just see that the discs inserted is of this type! (DVD-R discs are alot ... Read review

Advantages: Good price, nice look, good functionality
Disadvantages: logix customer service

...of the story, get the player as its great but never attempt to do any firmware upgrades as Logix are not a very professional company when it comes to that, unless you want to end up buying an all in one remote like me, to get your stop button back. ... Read review

Advantages: Plays DVD MP3 and CD CD-R/RW Any Region.
Disadvantages: Plays some DVD's others are juddery.

When I purchased the 3300D it came bundled with 50 DVDs. These are compilations, 2 to a disc and up to 4 in a case. They are not top rate DVDs but they are eminently watchable. These all played very well and there were no signs of distortion or judder. On the back of this purchase, I bought six more DVDs including Gladiator and Star Wars II Attack of the Clones. None of these six DVDs would play on the 3300D. The output would initially be there ...
...It was totally unwatchable. I checked that the machine had not developed a fault by playing some of the 50 bundled DVDs and they played fine. On the positive side, when the bundled DVDs were played as well as the MP3s that I have burned myself onto CD-Rs everything was fine. It would not play MP3s recorded on CD-RWs. Ordinary CDs played perfectly. The sound quality was fine. The remote control is perfectly adequate and compact and it can be used ... Read review

Advantages: cheap, cheerful and not as bad as some would have you believe
Disadvantages: only very basic controls on player

Its silver, basic on front but functional. Has a nice bright display. Plays beermats...Well, by that i mean it will play almost everything i have thrown at at provided the disks conform to standards. But i can say it doesnt like cheap dvd media. I backed up some of my dvd-5 films and played em back. On several media the player just wouldnt entertain em while others (discplanet)work perfectly. Multiregion is easy to do and despite other people reporting ...
...then perhaps they should disconnect the lg 3300d from their VHS recorder!!!! Macrovision is not on every DVD you will use. It has plenty of features and set up options, such as aspect ratio, parental controls, 5.1 dts, the usual stuff you expect on a budget dvd player. Here are some media results. MP3 on dvd-r No! MP3 on CD-RW No! MP3 on CD-R Yes! No long file name support but more than adequate. Folks, its a dvd player, the fact it does mp3's ... Read review
