[Request] DVD Player Powercity

comet

Looking to get a DVD player probably in Power City. I want to get a good price but with all the features. There were recommendations on these board for a Scott DVD player for 65euro in Power City before Christmas, I don't think they have it anymore so anyone know of a good one they do have now? thanks....

What about the Hyundai A320 they have in Dunnes for 59.99 - has composite outputs, digital coax, s-video (i think). Can be made region-free using the remote.

Its very nice, slim, quiet and works very well...

I got my sister a DVD player for Xmas, it was a mitsubishi black diamond one for €79 from powercity....... fantastic value, very slim and plays everything ive tried in it.

DVD, SVCD, VCD, MP3, CD, JPG...... comes with remote, scart lead. I was very impressed, mabye its come down in price a little. Worth every penny IMO.

was in power city yesterday bringing back my scott 639 - starting making horrible noises during playback - which was a pity because its a handy piece of kit

anyhow I brought along my verbatim dvd+ and ritek dvd- to check compability

the mitsubishi did play the + but did not play the -

i ended up getting a technika for a staight swap - 59 yo yos - because it played all formats thrown at it, now to look for muliti region hack although this is not a necessary

good value at 59

It can be worth your while gettting a slightly more expensive DVD players. They are typically better quality and last longer.

For instance the Toshiba SD330E on amazon.co.uk is an excellent DVD palyer at a pretty good price (~€100).

Supports all formats and is multiregion.

The SD330E replaces the SD220E (which I have) and which won the best DVD player of the year in What TV and HiFi magazine in both the entry level and medium level categories !!!!!

BTW It doesn't come with a Scart lead, you will need to get one separate.

BBTW The Dunnes Stores DVD players are crap. My friend has one, really awful, I also hear half of them where returned for being faulty.

Hmm. I know of three Hyundai that are in use and they are all crackers of players. Maybe the other ones (Ronin, Maxim) are dicky but the Hyundai ones are nice, quiet, slim and pleasant.

Black Diamond BD48 was available in Dixons and ESB shops for €69 (I think, but it could be €59)
already multiregion, comes with a scart and works great.
Also has Optical and Coaxial digital outs.

Also to add that the Black Diamond BD48 also plays Video CD, is multiregion, plays DVD +R, DVD-R, DVD+RW & DVD-RW. Also works great with MP3s on DVD.

My sister got the Scott DVD player is terrible... sometimes if you hit the scan button when you come back in to play mode the sound is out of sync.

I got the Black Diamond one as a cheep second DVD player to watch DVD's in the bedroom with, and I'm very happy with it's performance. And so far it has played everything I've put into it. - and + R included.
