Advantages: Dirt cheap, slimline, plays MP3's and CD's. Disadvantages: Not multi-region, remote will not last.
...As such finding the Alba DVD45 for a mere £27.99 in my local Asda was a Godsend.
Measuring 36 cm across and 5 cm high this is a surprisingly slimline DVD player. It is quite stylish for the price with a silver shell and black panel front. Setting it up is refreshingly simple and requires plugging the scart lead (supplied) into the back of the DVD player and then into the scart socket on the television. Plug it in and away you go. Operation is ...

...you can say about the Alba DVD45- it's cheap. And it does play DVD's and music CD's, which is what it's designed to do.
However, as it gets warmer the DVD's tend to freeze for no apparent reason (what we like to call the dramatic pause). This will usually happen toward the end of the film, at some crucial moment. There seems to be no way of getting it started yet, you just have to wait. The warmer the player gets the more this happens so if you ...

Advantages: This product is good value for money Disadvantages: Picture quality not as good as I would have hoped
This cheap and cheerful DVD player does exactly what it says on the box. It is a no frills, simple piece of machinery that quite simply plays DVDs and CDs. Some interesting things it does is play in slow motion and you can also view DVDs from different angles (if the DVD you're watching has been recorded with this functionality). There is not much more to it than that, but if this is all you're looking for, then there is not too much wrong with this ...

Advantages: Cheap and cheerful Disadvantages: Limited options
Well, you can't really argue at that price can you.
It plays DVDs, nothing more, nothing less. Menus are easy to use, controller makes sense even though it has a lot of buttons.
If you want a simple DVD player that you can watch DVDs on, witout worrying that you've spent hundreds of pounds on something that will be defunct in a few years, then go for one of these.
You get the basics of a DVD player, and if in the end you find taht you can't ...

I recenty gave up the fight to resist investing in new technology and bought a DVD player.
It worked fine and was easy to operate. It even played DVD's from other regions, once I found a code on the internet to unlock it.
However, after watching three DVD's it refused to play the fourth.
To be fair, it was a free DVD given away with the Sunday Times that may have been faulty. Anyway, the problem reported on screen was that the DVD was the ...
