Good Points

Overall a pretty good machine....but


Bad Points

until i tried to play a DVD-R format disk, for some weird reason it will play one or two, but def. not all !! (1 in 15 roughly)


General Comments

Poor response from kiiro when approached on the subject (of playing DVD-R format discs-see bad points). To make matters worse i saw a website selling it for £109 inc vat when i had paid £185 for it !!!

    Huh, are you sure mate?! I've got one of these myself and nowhere on the box does it even claim to play DVD-R discs - So what made you think it would do?! It's certainly not Kiiro's fault, if you've actually taken this for granted & not bothered to read the specs first!

    Im very sure mate! I rang them 1st obviously to find out - I was promised technical info from Kiiro which didnt come despite several emails and more phone calls. Finally worked it out for myself in the end though... Media Type! and like u said, not Kiiros fault...just the guy at Kiiro i was dealing with, who didnt know a whole lot. (i now give this machine an 8/10)

    Could you be more specific about which media you have found will/won't work on the X5, please? I see on another site that the following are supposedly ok • Lynx Digital Branded/Inkjet DVD-R • FWS Branded x1 Speed DVD-R • Datawrite Branded x2.4 DVD+R Speed • Lynx Digital Inkjet x2.4 DVD+R Speed • Verbatim, Pioneer & Apple Media DVD±R Plus • Pioneer DVD-RW 4.7GB • White Label DVD-RW 4.7GB • Lynx Digital x2.4 DVD+RW Speed Although with a caveat that, even using these brands, individual disks may not work 100%, 100% of the time!
