A great player for the money. I am using it for our film society and it's doing a great job.

For the price you're not going to get anything sleeker looking or with more functionality. Who wants to fork out hundreds on a blu-ray player, then have to replace all their existing dvds? The HDMI upscaling works a treat - a noticeable difference from using a SCART lead. The USB port is a lovely extra though not sure if you can play movie files through it (haven't tried divX yet but have found out it's not compatible with the Mac movie file format).

As an added bonus it's really easy to make it multiregional using the hack you can obtain from the internet. Love it.

Very pleased with quality of this dvd player my only gripe is that I purchased it for the USB connector but when connected up to my portable hard drive it could not see much of the music, as it is only able to accomodate some 30 folders / 600 files so not much use when you have 16 GB worth. My fault for not checking

This divx player is excellent it's easy to use, easy to set up, you can update the firmware in the player easy. It plays everthing i've chucked at it and believe me that's alot, that's why i rate this product at 5 stars.Oh yes it's very slimline as well.

This DVD player is one of the best for the price, as not only does it play all manner of DVD's and CD's it also plays Divx. This means that films and clips downloaded from your PC can be easily burnt to a CD or DVD as a data disc and played back on this DVD player to your TV. Highly recommended product.
