steve.'s Review of Wharfedale DVD-750 (exclusive to Tescos)
2nd Oct 2001
Overall Rating
- Value for money
Picture ok although it struggles to deal with darker scenes and contrast.
Bad Points
Very poor sound. Maybe ok when hooked up to a mono tv but put through an av system or amp the sound is very poor.
General Comments
I was tempted when i saw one of these at Tesco at £99.99. Bargain i thought until i switched the thing on. The menu system looks like it was developed using a Sinclair Spectrum. The drive is noisy and picture quality is poor (for a DVD) as for the sound hmmm this was my biggest let down. I wasn't even tempted to put it in the kids bedroom so i took it back and got a full refund. From what i have heard Wharfdale is not the company it once was and this is proof of it.
Here is the puzzle given the above why do so many including a certain hi fi magazine give this machine such a high rating. HMMMMmmmmmm??????

My opinion is somewhere between these two extremes.
The 750S does provide lots of features for a low price but it is noisy and a bit flimsy. It also suffers from a number of disk compatability problems.
I've had mine for around 18 months now and am looking for a new and better DVD player

Please do not pay any attention to this review it is complete and utter nonsense. The wharfdale offers outstanding value for money. As far as I am aware the 715 and 715S models used the same chipset as many of Sony's dvd players !!!
