    You can connect this cheap DVD to several thousand pounds worth of amplification (krell/bryston) and I assure you it will not disgrace itself, imaging, bass, treble and midrange all excellent and as good or perhaps a little sharper sounding than my old micro mega stage 2 dedicated (1994CD player).

    Overall fantastic 5.1 player for its time, mine is still going strong after an internal clean, the whole drive mechanism can be removed and cleaned , remote is cheap and black, silver would have been nice, bit on the large side. 5 stars due lack of support from the makers, do the player justice buy ...

    I suspect if you wedged an LP in an AS551 DVD player, it would have a go at playing it. It has a wide variety of play modes for a small budget.

    However, the remote control was designed by monkeys, and the worst thing about it is the tremendous amount of heat it generates if used for more than abo ...

    I chose this for a birthday present, I'm not a big hi-fi techie but here goes.
    I originally wanted a new CD player as mine was old and I wanted one with optical output so I could record minidisks.
    I decided that I might as well get a DVD player, they play CDs as well, I looked on the richer sounds ...

    I've only had this a few days and have already found quite a few bad points. Having said all this I would still recommend it to others, particularly those on a budget.

    This is a very versatile machine but the faults I have found worry me. The fact that the discs jam so frequently is annoying and the noise the player makes is surely louder than it should be. Providing Richer Sounds can rectify these problems I would recommend it.

    The DVD551 by Acoustic Solutions is a good looking, cheap dvd player but is somewhat lacking in quality. It plays everything. My player has been sent off for repair so hopefully when i get it back it will be a very good bit of kit. If it works when i get it back i would give it a 10/10!
