General Comments

The DVD421 is quite simply a little gem of a machine for the price, I purchased it for £54.99 from Richer Sounds. I was fairly impressed with the picture quality through an S-Video lead, but the 'normal' setting through a Scart lead wasn't all that good at all. If you have an S-Video socket on your TV then you'll be fine with this unit. Whilst the picture isn't as good as my old Toshiba SD2109 you can't really complain considering the price.

Sound isn't too bad at all and compared favourably with my Toshiba model.

You won't believe the size of unit itself! It's tiny and makes my Toshiba look like a behemoth! It sits quite snugly on top of my Sky digibox.

The remote control response isn't too hot however. You have to make sure that you point the remote directly at the IR sensor on the 421 to get it to respond. It is annoying, but I can certainly live with it. You do have to be quite heavy handed with the buttons on the main unit too.

So - if you don't have much money to spend on a DVD player (and you have an S-Video socket on your TV) this could be the baby for you!
