Dman001 · 27-08-2008 10:25pm #1

Aldi are selling a DVD upscaler for €44.99 this Sunday (I think). It comes with a HDMI cable and has a USB and SD card slot too. Also, It upscales to 1080i.

Don't see it on the ALDI website lniked below. Was it in a newpaper pullout or something ?

Do you know if it supports divx/xvid ? Any other details model brand etc ?

Thanks, on the lookout for cheap dvd player that isn't too big, supports upscaling, divx/xvid and usb/Sd card slots. hopefully this will fit the bill.

Dman001 · 28-08-2008 1:22pm

Sorry that was the wrong manual, here is the right one:

Does anyone know if this is multi-region or if not does anyone know a code to make it so?

rejkin · 29-08-2008 7:46pm

So would i be able to connect a Hard drive to the player through the usb? If not does anyone know a dvd player that does that?

Yeah, is this possible?

calex71 · 30-08-2008 11:57am

read the manual!!!! it mentions divx on page 6 , also mentions connecting flashdrives

edit: should point out if people are getting this to connect to large external hard drives, in my experice many of these kind of devices only like fat 32 formatted hard drives (xbox 360 comes to mind) most of my drives are ntfs fomatted for various reasons, and converting from ntfs to fat 32 just isnt an option really.

USB sticks work quite nicely though, or if your hard drive is fat 32, im not saying that this will be the case with this dvd player but worth keeping in mind if its the sole reason for gettting one

johnnyrotten · 31-08-2008 10:07pm

Anyone any info regarding this? I know its really cheap, but would be pretty useless to me if its locked to region 2.

Dman001 · 01-09-2008 10:13pm

I got this from HotUKDeals but I'm unsure if it will work with this DVD player:

Open Tray
Press 9999
Press 9 for region free
Close Tray.

CourierCollie · 01-09-2008 10:21pm

Worth a try anyway. We'll find out Thursday. Won't be a total loss anyway. Free HDMI lead and USB connection, sweet.

jaykay74 · 04-09-2008 9:35am

Thanks OP. Got my dvd player this morning. will try it out this evening when I get home. Looks decent. I'd say they only lasted a few minutes. I was there as the shop opened and there only seemed to be 20 or so in stock. About half were taken immediately.

bcirl03 · 04-09-2008 11:23am

Also got one.....

A lot of people had them in their shopping trolleys with few left.

Could do with the region free code otherwise I'll be running two DVD players side by side.

TM · 04-09-2008 1:19pm

None in Aldi Parnell Street Dublin at 9:30 this morning...

pcolan · 04-09-2008 2:40pm

@ TM

Grabbed one at 11am at Aldi Parnell St. & apparently there were even a few left! Couldn't find any on display, so had to ask at the till!

Thank you very much, OP for this great post!!!

NewApproach · 04-09-2008 3:09pm

I got one in Ennis around a quarter to three.

None on display so I asked and she brought out another ten or so!

quaalude · 04-09-2008 4:17pm

I just got one in Rathmines at 4pm - they have several more in stock there.

MacBuster · 04-09-2008 4:35pm

Has anyone tried USB keys or HDD's on these yet ?

CourierCollie · 04-09-2008 4:54pm

Got one of these in Nutgrove at 4pm, though I think it was their last. Good news is this worked to make it region free:

Also I've tried a 2GB USB key, an an 8GB MP3 player (both loaded with wma's) and both work fine. I haven't got an external HDD to try out.

No picture with mine:mad:

Was that with scart or HDMI or different connection ? I tried mine for a few minutes when I was home for lunch. Couldn't get anything through HDMI. Haven't used HDMI before though so will make better effort this evening. I tried to search for new devices with TV but no luck even though the player was connected via hmdi cable supplied and turned on.

This happened to me too - I sorted it out like this:

Connect the DVD player first to your TV with a scart lead, so you can get to the setup option on the DVD player.
Press Setup on the remote
Use the arrow buttons on the remote to go to "Video"
Then go to "Video Out settings", and change this to "HD".

johnnyrotten · 04-09-2008 5:43pm

Yeah had to set mine up with scart too then changed output to HD and 1080i . Can't get usb Working though. Plenty left in coolock at 4.30

This works great, thanks, but it took me a few gos - I suggest leaving 2 seconds before the final "9" - you know it works as a "9" comes up on the screen.

johnnyrotten · 04-09-2008 7:31pm

Anyone got problems with USB? When I press USB/CARD I get a message "Not Allowed"
