DVD player for girls with a passion for fashion

Advantages: remote, nice design, portable
Disadvantages: battery pack is a bit bulky

..., next/previous, pause/stop and play. You can use the DVD player with or without the headphones as it has a built in speaker. Features are: * 6.2" (widescreen 16:9) TFT LCD screen * Adjustable angle display * Switch for 16:9 and 4:3 aspect ratio * Play's DVDs and DR-R/RW discs * Built-in speaker * Angle function * Headphone jack * Audio and video output The DVD player can either be hooked up to the tele, if your daughter doesn't have another DVD player or can easily be made portable by clipping the battery pack onto the bottom. This is then charged through the mains adapter supplied or if it isn't being used on the go, it can be played directly from the mains. The battery pack is a bit on the bulky side, and means the DVD player is slightly lifted up on the back if it is placed on a flat surface. This doesn't bother...

Review of Bratz Portable DVD Player

DVD's a Plenty!!!

Advantages: cheap, compact, great bargain
Disadvantages: none

...DVD player was silent as can be. It was able to play well, fast forward at a good speed still without making any noise and I can really say nothing bad about it. For a mere £20 I find this DVD player and exceptionally fantastic bargain and one I shall shout from the rooftops! The picture quality is good, sound quality could not be better and the overall use of the machine really is simple yet very effective. I don?t think you could ask for a better price on this product and it really does work extremely well. I would say if you are looking for a DVD player that just plays DVDs and has no fancy special features then this really is one for you. The DVD player itself plays DVDs/CDs/CD-R/CD-RW and this is another bonus as our last DVD player would not play and of the copied DVD that our friend was able to lend us (all legal you...

Review of Woolworths DVD Player

One for the DVD Player

Review of Glenn Tilbrook - One For The Road (DVD)

DVD+R Good

Advantages: Very reliable, come in a ase
Disadvantages: Not very cheap, slow burn speed, not printale

...of purchase, writable DVDs were still quite expensive so a box of five including cases was pretty good value. Once I got the disks home and began using them with a vengeance, I was really pleased with the results; 5 out of 5 disks burnt correctly without any trace of fault. Best of all, the disks that I created also worked perfectly in my Yamada DVD player. How pleased was I! In fact, I was so pleased that I went back to WH Smith and bought another three boxes of the DVD+Rs and another two of DVD-Rs. The only cons to the Memorex media are: 1) The prices of disks have not kept pace with other well-known brands; at £1.25 a piece, they are now one of the most expensive brands I can remember seeing. 2) The disks are not printable - a bit of a pain as I have just shelled out £250 for a printer with disk printing capabilites. 3) The jewel...

Review of Memorex DVD-R 4.7 GB 8x

  DVD Player that can play DivX .avi files and more!

Advantages: Plays DivX AVI and MPEG files, Supports lots of formats, Looks good, Karaoke,
Disadvantages: DivX 3.11, 4.02 plays slightly slanted, cheap plasticy remote, Doesn't play some NTSC encoded files

..., it marks it by bevelling the box, which at times makes it harder to tell which file you selected. When you've found a file you want to play, just press 'Play' or 'Enter'. Once it has finished playing a file, it will move to the next one. I've found that the DVD-500 plays DivX files well with no loss of quality. These were DivX files on CD-R and DVD-R. These files are highly compressed Video files in the AVI format (has the extension .avi). I've also managed to play Mpeg (.mpg) video files but found that the player does not support WMV (Windows Media Video) and simply skips the file altogether. The player is also able to play MP3 files. A few niggles with playing files though is the navigation. Although easy, it still does take a second (possibly half a second) to move from track to track so it's definitely not very zippy. I cannot...

Review of Panasonic DVD-LS83

Award winning DVD player

Advantages: Fantastic picture quality, fantastic audio quality, great value
Disadvantages: not exactly cheap, a bit chunky looking

...it was only worth paying thirty quid for a DVD player, but now I understand that you get what you pay for and this is worth paying for. MTMH paid £180 for ours, which is a lot more than thirty quid but oooh I am happy. It is easy to use, and gives you ultra sharp picture quality and great sound. It won What Hifi's 2007 best DVD player under £300 award, which is what made him consider it. They clearly know a thing or two at What Hifi. Right, now take a deep breath: It has: * HDMI Interface with Multi Channel Audio(480p/720p/1080i/1080p Scaling). Um, I think this means the picture quality is fab. It might be what makes the sound quality fab though. Not entirely sure. *it played CDs as well as DVDs, and plays -R and -RW DVDs * it has 24-bit, 192-kHz High Resolution Audio D/A Converters and 12 bit, 216 MHz High Resolution...

Review of Denon DVD-1940

DVD player with a bad stutter

Advantages: Upconversion to 1080i, HDMI, DIVX Playback
Disadvantages: Not very Durable, Both my players have broken

...A great DVD player with Upconversion to 780p/1080i, HDMI and component video outputs as well as DIVX playback. Pity that it will only play for 60minutes before playback grinds to a halt. I bought this player as I've not long upgraded to a HDTV. I was noticing a bit of picture derogation using my old player (connected via SCART) and decided it was time to upgrade. I was not happy buying a Blue ray or HD DVD player until for format war has finished, so i was looking for a player with HDMI output. As soon as I saw the SD-5000 I was impressed with the slim design and the front of the player has a great finish and I knew it would look good underneath my TV. Once connected to my TV via the HDMI ( note no HDMI cable was included with the player I felt a little disappointed with this) The picture was improved instantly and there was...

Review of Toshiba Toshiba SD-5000 DVD Player

stable DVD-/+R!!!

Advantages: Very good brand
Disadvantages: none at the moment

...This DVD-/+R is absolutely amazing, it has never let me down! First, the This type of DVD is said to be Data/Video and it does what the description say. When i first burnt my home video on to this DVD-/+R and played it on my DVD player, i thought it wasn't going to recognize it, however it played it correctly without jumping tracks or anything!. I tried burning with my other DVD-/+R but all of them didn't recognized my home video, sadly! Personally, i would go for DVD+R for burning home videos. Burning it using data as a storage also delivers a high quality. There were no errors and each time, it recognized the disc because some 'crappy' DVD-/+R doesn't even load it on the computer, HOwever, TDK is top-notch. The burning speed for DVD is 1-4x so it's not that slow. To burn the whole Data of 4.7gb would take about 30 minutes...

Review of TDK DVD+R 4.7 GB 8x

Samsung DVD R136

Advantages: None - won't accept ANY brand of DVD RW so totally useless
Disadvantages: See above

...DO NOT BUY THIS PIECE OF CRAP!!! My advice would be if you have or been given one for Xmas - take it the hell back and get a refund or exchange it for a NON Samsung DVD recorder. Samsung should be prosecuted for selling what is obviously a faulty machine! Plenty of reviews online ALL saying the same thing - it will NOT accept DVD-RW. So, not fit for purpose. Samsung will probably blame the consumer, as always. Well, FOUR brands of HIGH QUALITY BRAND NAMES, cleaning the lensas suggested on some sites DOES NOT WORK! Seriously, you will regret the day you bought one of these pieces of crap! I've spent more money on finding out WHICH brand plays - as the manual is utterly useless when it says 'some brands may not work' but DOESN'T tell you which do! HELLO, are there ANY people with brain cells employed at this company???! No, poor...
