Advantages: Does everything I want it to do. Disadvantages: Not a recorder. No SCART lead.
Introduction
==========
I'd delayed getting a DVD player for as long as possible because I thought the price would come down as they became more popular. In addition, the increasing popularity of DVDs meant that videos were really cheap so I made the most of the cheap videos. Unfortunately, with the rise of DVDs, it became much harder to get hold of videos so I finally decided that maybe it was worth getting one. As we were getting married, we ... ...list rather than buy it ourselves. I therefore cannot comment on the price as I do not know how much it was.
For those of you who don't yet have a DVD player, there are many advantages of DVDs over videos (other than that they are easier to come by). Firstly, they improved sound and image quality (I guess similar to the difference between audio CDs and audio cassettes). Usually a DVD will have a starting menu where you can select different features. ...

...of a deal with my Sony TV.
I have to say that it has to be the best DVD player I have had to date in terms of quality and features.
Despite having no scart lead in the box, it was no dilema as I have a few spare about the house but I guess it can be very frustrating to anyone that doesn't, purely for the inconvenience of having to buy one seperately. I did however find some audio leads a free Toy Story DVD feature film in the box, which was a nice ... ...use. Seeing as its the same manufacturer as my TV, the remote also controls the volume on my TV which saves me from using seperate remote controls.
I did receive this product free when I purchased my Sony TV, but if purchased seperately, it retails for around £90/£100. ...

Advantages: To many to List! Disadvantages: SCART lead doesn't come with it.
I've used this DVD player for about 5 months now and it's been fine!
I was looking for a DVD player for a while now, I didn't want to spend to much and I thought the price for this one wasn't to bad and had liked the look of it, so I bought it.
When I bought it, as well as the DVD player there was a remote control, batteries for the remote control, an audio-video cable & an instruction manual. I found it use ful that they gave you batteries as ... ...There was no SCART lead so I was little dissapointed. It wasn't that bad though as there not hard to find. You'll probably want to buy a SCART lead to connect your DVD player to your TV
You can play:
DVDs
Audio CDs
Data CDs (It recognises JPEG & MP3 files)
VCDs
I didn't actually bother using the instruction manual, apart from when I was connecting it , it was so simple. If you just put the DVD in it basically starts straight away. The instruction ...

All in all, this model demonstrates that when manufacturers decide to construct a worthy piece of equipment at an affordable price, it can be done. (This player can be purchased from a starting price of £49.99 up to as much as £79.99.)
Just a note on the downside: Sony do not supply scart cables with any of their equipment.

For modern DVD players, this one is acceptable to enjoy all you can about DVD movies. Not only is the price good, as well as the make being of high quality, its reliable and does most of what other more expensive players would do. Obviously it looks simple, but it does the job perfectly. Possibilities to do many functions, such as changing language etc, good quality picture and sound level and extremely simple to set up. comes with all necessaries, ...
