Good Points

Cheap at the time.


Bad Points

Very fussy which media it likes.


General Comments

Bought over a year ago from Argos = £60.
Very fussy which media it likes (Blue) or does not (Yellow/Green).
Burned OK with Nero 5.5.5.1 CD-R's =
Ritek + Princo
I got a fairly good batch of Jungle Disc's - which were supposedly 'maufactured by Memorex' but which show up as Ritek's when scanned !?!?
As for DVD's =
Ritek (Silver Backs) and DataWrite (Red + Green Backs) + the odd Pioneer & JVC brand.
= Media type V-2.2
Seems a bit more tolerant than the PlayStation 2.

I would have given this player a 5 or a 6 at the time of purchase - but it has since been superceeded by cheaper and better models.

I recently tested it with 2 NTSC discs (one Region 0 and the other Region 3) and it played both - (without a hack) although the old TV it is connected to took about 15 mins to stop 'bouncing' !?!?!

Not a BAD machine - but the Alba 114 is better + cheaper.
