Yamada DVX 6700

...The build quality of the Yamada is best described as “cheap” – but… don’t get me wrong – it looks OK next to the TV – only if you look closely is it obvious that every component has been made to the tightest of budgets – everything from the flimsy eject-tray to the front-panel plastic buttons and cheesy digital display which might have looked modern in the 1980s. To criticise the unit on aesthetics, however, is to completely miss the point. Most ...
...pleased to report that the Yamada has no problem – and plays DVDs intended for any regional market without any fuss. DVDs are recorded in a compressed digital format called MPEG2 – which is fine with standard DVD media with a capacity of about 5Gb, however this is not the only prevalent modern digital format. MPEG4 is a new compressed format which encodes digital video in a more efficient way… this new technology is implemented in two different, ...

Review of Yamada DVX 6700

For some reason it seems these are no so available anymore however when they were the average price was around 40 - £45 which was not so bad for a multi region, slim line, divx dvd player which would play most computer files without fault. I usually use the most highest quality media & hardware within reasonable cost & did not find anything to majorly complain about. If anything you might have a particular issue with a particular format or file, ...
...has to be expected. I have had no major issues other than minor skips with some files, which didnt cause any problems & perhaps the odd need to reset by means of power off via remote and on again when using particular ogg media files. Accepts all the media i throw at it, any type of cd/dvd i had worked perfectly, both originals and backups of different formats. At this price what else can i say but go for it, i doubt you'll regret it. ...
