Good Points

very few redeeming features but I guess these might count: it's cheap, it has a slimline look, and it's multi-region but that's definitely it.


Bad Points

freezes during playback. Vibrates when it gets too hot, causing an EXTREMELY IRRITATING humming noise that blights the sound of the dvd it's playing. Gets stuck in black and white, you have to point the remote control DIRECTLY at a tiny little receiver, the buttons are horrible, and when you press them the machine moves...need I go on?


General Comments

I'd LIKE to be singing the praise of this player-(after all, I bought the thing)-but unfortunately that won't be happening, and this won't be a good advert for the machine, nor any other MONSTER, Acoustic Solu...no...Acoustic Pollutions decide to cook up.. ok, so without further ado, here's my advice: DO NOT BUY THIS DVD PLAYER. IT IS ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE. I cannot stress enough how faulty the design of this RUBBISH is. AVOID AVOID AVOID.

    I do not agree with this review. I bought the same machine just before Xmas fom Richer Sounds and I've no problems with it. The hacks from this site for the 421 model also worked fine.

    I don't agree with this review. I bought a 451 in Aug 2002 has worked flawlessly since. The remote does have a narrow angle but this is fixed by using a one for all remote. These are a bargain.

    to take the machine out of Black and white mode go into setup and change picture type to PAL not NTSC or Auto (Auto works fine for Region 2 but region 1 or SVCD will appear black and white)
