Review 2 of 8
Price Paid:
$199.00 Summary:
First I really liked this DVD player, price was good, component, optical NTSC and PAL, what more could you want for 200 bucks?
Then the lock ups started, that could only be solved by unplugging the unit, then the long load time, jerky fast fwd
and finally the Creative DVD rom 6630E that is inside, blew up! No more loading DVD's
Bad quality, should expect DVD player to last longer than 1 year.... Strengths:
good connectivity Weaknesses:
quality Similar Products Used:
all of them

Review 3 of 8
Price Paid:
$99.00 Summary:
Great bargain at $99, but I had problems with lockup. The first machine I received would lockup, would attempt to load non-stop at times when a disc was not present, and even would
occasionally have no video or audio output even though the disc was playing. The second player I was sent also would get stuck in standby mode. Why is Cambridge Soundworks offering such a low quality product? At least I can say that hifi.com's no hassle, money back guarantee is just that- easy and free. Strengths:
Good sound, picture, ease of use Weaknesses:
Quality, lack of programming for CD's (besides simple repeating)

Review 4 of 8
Price Paid:
$100.00 Summary:
I noticed similar problems with lock up and subtitles that others have mentioned; however, the subtitles can easily be turned off and the lock up has only occured after the power has gone out and come back on. This is easily corrected by unplugging and plugging the unit back in.
Despite the fact that this DVD player is not DTS compatible, it is a great value and definitely worth the price.
If you don't have a DTS receiver, this is a great way to go until you're ready to upgrade.
Strengths:
Great value!
VCD compatible
S-video output
Weaknesses:
No DTS Similar Products Used:
None

Review 5 of 8
Price Paid:
$199.00
from hifi.com Summary:
I really liked this player but had bad luck with 2 of them. Both had to be unpluged to reset because they would lock up. One made a racket when playing some discs. hifi.com was fantastic about it with pre-paid return lables and no arguments. If you get a good one, you'll get the best value out there by far. Strengths:
A for picture and sound.Very good selection of outputs for the price Weaknesses:
Kept locking up Similar Products Used:
First DVD Player
