I managed to get one of these for less than £50 including delivery!
Firstly just to let everyone know what it can and can't play:
CAN PLAY:
Discs Types: All types of Dvd (+ -) R/Rw, Cd-R/Rw, Audio Cd, Mp3-Cd/Dvd.
File Types: Divx, Xvid, Avi, Vcd, Svcd, Mp3, Wma (non-drm), PCM-Wav , Jpg/Jpeg, and also Home-made dvd's, like if you want to copy video camera footage from PC onto DVD.
You can load up any compatible Disc with a combination of any of the file types, and the player is smart enough to be able to play them all.
CAN'T PLAY:
Discs: DVD-RAM
File Types:
Kvcd
Mvcd
other Non-Standard Vcds
.rm .ram and otherReal Player Files
.3gp Camera Phone Files
WMV - Windows media videos
NSX - nullsoft vide/o files
WMA's that have DRM, like files from Napster etc
Bin/cue files, .iso files , .nrg and other cd-iso-type files.
However, you can easily get comupter software to convert most things that it can't play, into things that it can!
Things I Like About The 6700:
Price - Great Value For Money
Size - it's very sleek and slim, the display is nice and clear, the cd draw is super-thin, and very unusual, not seen one like this on other dvd players.
Compatabilty - You can make almost any file work on it!
Interface- Great remote control - the main buttons even glow in the dark! the menu system is clear and easy to read/understand.
Upgrades - There are official upgrades, and also privately devolped ones, each has various features for getting the most out of the player.
Things I didn't like:
Nothing apart from the build quailty, it seems a little bit flimsy, but if you are careful with it, then it will be fine. Overall this machine is fantastic!!!
I have never had a problem with it, i seriously recommend this dvd player, and i've used it daily for about 4 months now.
There is a great forum available on the internet called My-Yamada which has loads of helpful stuff about the player,
Now go and buy one!!!!!
