    Good Points: Good looker


    Bad Points: Unreliable


    General comments: Bought this DVD player about 20 months ago, and it worked fine. Now 20 months on, the remote doesn't work and I have to keep turning it on and off sometimes, as the players firmware seems to lock up. Also the scart socket has a loose connection. Very dissapointed! I'll stick to well known brands next time, this DVD player was a waste of money!

    What a cracking player, it has played VCD SVCD XVCD and XSVCD on any media I have thrown at it, which includes Datasafe silver and blue, vivastar, vertabim, packard bell and FWS. I have a DVD R which also plays flawlessly.
    It's multiregion out of the box and can play NTSC or PAL no problem whatsoever, currently £99 at special reserve. I used to have a Smamsung 709 and recently took back a Scneider 857. This Kirro kicks butt.
    One slight flaw as when you open the disc tray you do get a pi ...

    This Kiiro 838d is a fantastic DVD player and is better than machines costing 3 times the price. It is multiregion AND you can copy DVD's without any fuss. Playback is great, without ANY glitches or problems. It has masses of features that allow FF and RW and slow-mo etc etc etc. It plays everything! The person that wrote the negative comments must have had a 1-off bad machine!! BUY IT.

    This Kiiro 838d DVD player is my 4th player (tried Logix 3300d, & Dansa 1010,852,952) & this beats them all hands down!
    Best £100 I have spent in years.. Well done Kiiro.

    The Kiiro 838d is a small DVD player (320x75x277mm) yet is able to play everything that is thrown at it, it is multi-region and plays RCE disks right out of the box, no hack is required, what's more it's VCR friendly as well!. It also has on board dolby digital and DTS decoders, so all you need to do to complete your home cinema system is add a multi channel amp + speakers.

    This player appears to be from the same stable as the Dansai machines but with many improvements. When you first use thi ...

    This Kiiro 838d DVD player is a great looker but is let down by the play back. I bought 2 dvds to start my collection - not one can be viewed longer than 1 hr without faults. .. shame, tried various others with the same problem.
    I have just Emailed the company that supplied it, Firebox.com, let's see how long it takes for a replacement.

    What can i say about the Kiiro 838d DVD player? Usually i would always purchase a brand name as that's the usual preconception in order to get quality. How wrong i was. This little stunner, kiiro 838d does everything i could ever ask of it. plays my region 1 discs as well as some of my copied dvdr and rw discs. wicked playback on cds as well. it looks the nuts as well. midi sized unit, looks great next to my cyrus midi hi-fi seperates. great buy overall.

    I bought the Kiiro 838d on the basis of the quality of the Yelo 800. My g/f dad has the yelo and was i well impressed. Amazon were selling the Kiiro for £129.99 so bought i it.
    After two week's the drawer got stuck inside. Rang kiiro and they sent me another one the next day. This one seem's to be fine but i still feel a bit funny about it.
    Picture quality and sound wise it's great, but quality control at Kiiro could be better.

    Overall though i would recommend it!

    Well I tried a Kiiro 838d DVD player again. mmmm, likes vcd but still pixely.
    Any way, to tell it as i see it and from the list of emails you will get it swapped but there is a long, long wait [still waiting for kiiro]. It may not be kiiro uk's fault but they should keep some stock back for 24hr exchange as other brands do.
    the helpline gives interesting ideas:
    it's damp
    helpline says it needs resetting after every play?
    quality of your dvds?
    all 16?
    you did not set it up right
    =mmm bee ...

    Don't be fooled into thinking you should spend £hundreds on a dvd player to get quality, this kiiro 838d DVD player is fully loaded with the same features you would find on a £400+ player. I bought this machine for the karaoke function which my wife insists upon but is getting harder to find. This player also supports all the major disc formats including mp3, and plays back your audio with exceptional quality and clarity, no need really for a separate cd player. Multi-region from the ...
