When looking for a cheap dvd player that can perform well, it's best not to go for the bargai basement own-brand models stocked by the likes of Tesco, or other retailers. But then that's just my opnion. I prefer to look at cheap models from the big branded producers such as LG, Sony Jvc and Panasonic that i know will perform their task better than their nameless contemporaries.

This leads me onto the Panasonic DVD-S 511 which i find fits the criteria correctly. Okay, it's not as inexpensive as the £30 Grundigs you could get, but its guaranteed to give you good quality movie playability.

I brought this for £60, so below the price quoted by Ciao. For this i got a good dvd player that does what i want it to do coupled with the security of knowing that if i have a complaint, Panasonic will resolve it.

The Performance

So how does this player perform. Well, it does what i want it to do, which is provide a platform that shows movies to a very high standard, without technical or mechanical or electronic difficulties.

Picture playback is great, stunnig indeed and with the surround sound system it packs a punch.

Very easy to use with appropriate functions and easy to install and get going.
It plays in all recognisable formats and is great.
