Ken.'s Review of Limit 9900SE
1st Apr 2003
Overall Rating
- Value for money
Excellent picture and audio.
Bad Points
Abysmal build quality, noisy and vibrates during playback.
General Comments
This player's picture and audio qualities are up there with the best; playback of audios CDs is particularly impressive but, and I'm afraid it's a very big but, the unit itself is so noisy during playback I can actually hear it above the speaker system. With some DVDs the whole unit actually vibrates!
I also have problems with the disc tray jamming open.
The major selling point for me was the machine's JPEG image playback facility which, incidentally, is very good but a DVD player's main job after all is to play DVDs and if it can't do that efficiently all the extra features in the world won't compensate.
Only had it a few weeks but it's going back to RS and being replaced with the Toshiba 520.
Overall, it has been a huge disappointment.

Limit 9900SE DVD player - from Richer Sounds; At the time, a bargain progressive scan DVD player, hacked to be region-free. Has trouble reading some dodgy DVD-Rs though.

I am impressed with the silent nature of the 9900SE. It does make noise when loading discs, but during normal playback it is very quiet. Maybe yours is duff?
(disc noise was a specific bugbear of mine with my previous player, and LG2330).
