General Comments

I've had my Alba DVD 103 for some time now. It's my first stand-alone player. I got it from ASDA and it's been really good. I've tried CDs, and some (really) cheap CD-Rs, (output through my hi-fi), no problems. (I've read that CD's don't sound as good on DVD players as CD players, but it sounds ok to me.) I've also tried Region 1 NTSC DVDs, which it plays alright, although it has some problems with the display format to my TV. (I have a 4:3 ration PAL50/PAL60 TV. If I set the player to PAL then the picture is stretched vertically, if AUTO or NTSC then the aspect ration is ok, but it's only in black & white, despite setting the output to RGB! I suspect if I had a TV which supported native NTSC things would be ok.) Overall I've been very pleased with it.
