Ronin MediaWorks M280 Review

Overall Rating

This player is fab, price was a big thing for me as at just under £200 from dabs.com really made it for me. and what i really like is the product support. offices in milton keynes even though it is produced in china. its own website www.rmwx.com with a link to a accessories site that takes payment by paypal. it gets better and better. a totally top notch player i would recommend to anybody. and i have experience with these items as this one is my 3rd. the previous two had no product support that i could find. good points would be, small in stature, 7" widescreen which is just like the bush pdvd1000 being a little off set but is not a problem. the top cover is clear plastic andmakes for a better finish, the battery sits underneath and does last for quite a while. the front catch can be a little fiddly but works fine if you are careful. one big point i must make is it takes an rgb input which sold it to me. oh and the player will do the lot including kodak discs and jpeg files, mp3, dvd-rw, dvd-r and all the rest

Only a few gripes the disc cover feels very flimsy and is sprang open by what i can only discribe as a cloths peg spring. And the catch for same is a bit flimsy but if care is taken should be no problem what so ever. the speakers are just there as a cosmetic touch not to be used unless you are in the quietest of rooms by yourself. connection to headphones or separate speakers is a must

a few more points to note that realy make this player excel is the headphone ports glow red when on and when input switch is on, those ports glow a different color. you are able to charge battery by itself, it is not needed to be connected to the player to be charged. the screen is quite vibrent and clear, but it seems to get a bit of interference in the background which when you are engrossed in a film is not noticeable but when you know its there and looking for it can be seen clearly. i do not know if this is because of where i locate my player or not. i am a security guard and as such must state the player is small enough to hide in my bag so can be very unobtrusive and easy to hide when in place
