Maxim: 11-21

Phil - Stratford, London, on March 8th, 2006
Got 2 of these, 1 at home in the bedroom and one at my Caravan in Essex. Very cheap box, bought the first for £30 from Woolworths a year ago and bought the second from Dixons for an amazing £19.99. This little player is on a small A4 footprint and in my experience so far will play almost anything including DVD-/+R, VCD, SVCD, MP3, WMA and JPEG stills. It even comes set to Region 0 and is therefore Multiregional. It looks quite neat and has a reasonably nice remote. All the usual sockets, Scart, Composite, SVideo, Coax Digital Audio. The first box has been totally reliable over the year, the second I've only just bought. My one criticism is that it will not Scart switch between TV and AV and visa versa by the remote when going in and out of standby, it will only switch when powering on and off with the front panel mounted power buttom.
