PROS: WIll play 80 - 90% of DivX and Xvid movies if they are encoded using DivX 3.11 - DivX 5 Pro. Will play almost every possible type of cd / dvd media. optical out simple set up new firmware and updates available if you look on the web. good forums to help customise dvd screensavers and menu options etc.
CONS: My disk caddy will not stay open long enough to put a cd in - I have read about other people with this problem too. Think Arkrights till from "open all hours" !!. However this does not bother me much - you just have to be quicker with the cd!.
Some sync issues (however these are always down to the encoding and cannot be blamed on the machine) can be resolved by pressing the setup button on the remote. It doesn't stop the movie and it resyncs the audio and video.
It is not "pretty" but it's a geeky toy for a geeky age - it doesn't have to be pretty.
If you're using divX and not the original dvd you are saving cash anyway and taking the budjet option - this dvd player matches that - it is a budget option.
