Advantages: SMALL, TIDY AND EASY TO USE
Disadvantages: VERY FEW CONTROLS ON THE UNIT ITSELF

I bought the Compacks 6972DVD player and found it to be an excellent product. ADVANTAGES This small (9" x 9.5" x 1 3/4") sleek looking Silver unit, can be tucked away in to the smallest of crevises. It is easy to use and comes packed with features that you would normally have to pay a great deal for. It will play any region (0 - 9) and for the price that I paid I could not have asked for anything better. (£19.99 inc postage). It comes with a lightweight ...
...OSD, Open, Power, Prog, Audio, Subtitle, 4 speed modes (X2 - X16) Pause, Play and Title, not to mention the standard command buttons, and much more. Very easy to get started, just plug in using a standard Scart lead and bobs your uncle.... DISADVANTAGES The remote is your control, if you lose it, it would be very difficult to use the DVD player. The only controls on the front of the unit are the On/Off button, eject, Stop, Play/pause. The picture ... Read review

Advantages: Cheap includes twenty movies
Disadvantages: not multi regional

...because I came across an LG 4210 DVD player complete with twenty movies for the cost of £199.99. Who could be worthy of such a gift in such a large box, (always the most exciting to open!)? Why me of course. Time to rush home rip open the box throw away the 40-page manual and set the machine up, (is this a man thing?) The DVD player is a sleek silver model weighing 3 kgs measuring approximately 43 cms by 15 cms by 7.5 cms the actual dimensions may ...
...is. The player can also be used to play audio CD discs but it does not play CDR discs, this is not a function that really bothers me. A 21-pin scart plug is included so it’s a simple matter of connecting the player to the television and you’re off. There are other connections on the rear panel to connect the player to your television or hi-fi or surround sound speakers with Dolby Digital Sound or indeed Dolby Pro Logic Surround Sound. A real plus ... Read review

Advantages: Good basic system
Disadvantages: Lack many features

This DVD player is a good choice for those wanting a basic 'put disc in and play' machine, because that is pretty much all it does. There are none of the advanced features that are expected with modern DVD players. Although compatible with audio (MP3) and photo (JPG/JPEG) discs the features are lacking as there is no ability to choose a playlist as such - other than the order they appear on the disc. For audio playback, there is also no clever light ... Read review

Disadvantages: Altough its good its not good enough to be homes main DVD player.

...I had never owned a Philips DVD player before this purchase but was assured by many people that their DVD players were always in top form.

Another reason I decided to buy this DVD player over the many other options that were available to me was because this DVD player is small and slim and is ...

Advantages: Simple & Straight Forward. Easy operation.
Disadvantages: Picture Quality

ALBA DVD Player 73. This is a simple, straight forward DVD player. It will play all DVD's and music cd's.
