    Dunno if you have the same DVD, the picture above is different.

    But I bought my Alba DVD 45 from Argos for £30 and after having a MUCH more expensive DVD player(Panasonic) stolen in a burgalry, I find it BRILLIANT value for money.

    The ONLY trouble I have is on dual-layed DVD's and some special features, but for £30........ I've paid more for that for a 'round'!!!!!

    For what it cost's, it is very good value for money. It has played all my DVD's(saying that they are clean as in not scracthed, original etc).

    So, if you want a cheap DVD player that does the job then you can't go wrong(IMO).

    I must have got a good-un from the factory, because as I said, apart from the dual layered DVD pause thing, it works great.

    But, I wish I had my Panasonic back ;(. Next buy will be a new compute with DVD record, playback and SVHS or RGB socket.

    I don't know why people are moaning so much. You get what you pay for, and it play's DVD's well enough.

    I guess they are so mass produced you get a few dodgy machines. Well, do what I do and buy from Argos, if it does not work, take it back, get a refund or a new machine.

    But I am happy with mine, while I have it until I get my new PC!

    i tell you why people moan, because it may be cheap but do you not want one that WORKS?

    I have owned one of these dvd players for one year and one week now, and it is now doing exactly what you say in your review. I just wish it had done it when it was still under warranty although I bought another dvd player from Asda for £25
