    Good Points: I bought this DVD player over two years ago from Richer Sounds. The picture/sound etc can't be faulted for the money.


    Bad Points: The only bad thing is that I can't get anybody to look at it. There is a loose connection or something because its very tempermental. On good days it will play any disc no problem. Bad days it won't and we have to hit it in a certain spot and hope it does the job!!


    General comments: I've just spent a number of hours tring to find out the hack code to make the Limit 8072 region free. Been on the websites etc didn't want to pay the money. Phoned Richer Sounds and they gave me two codes, the latter worked.
    Switch on - Open Tray - Press 8,4,2,1
    Then region box displays itself. Press okay till you reach 9 then close tray. This then stores the DVD Player as region free. Other code that was given is folow same function but use numbers - 8,9,2,3,9,9,9,1 then either 0 for region free or 1 or 2 etc.

    I bought this Limit 8072 dvd player 2 years ago for £150, and back then it was a pretty good deal considering DVD was relatively new then.

    I was very impressed with the quality of the picture and sound, although I have not managed to connect to a 5.1 speaker system.

    Overall it is good but in time I have found a few flaws.

    Firstly I played VCDs on them and they all had Lip Sync problems. I thought it was the VCD's problem but I realised in time all vcd's had the same problems! So I ...

    I bought this Limit 8072 DVD palyer from Richer Sounds for £79, although it's currently only £39!
    For that price, it's fine. The picture and sound won't disappoint and the whole unit looks quite pleasing. There are cutbacks though. The remote control is no worse than any other budget player, but still on the cheap-and-cheerful side of things. The drawer for the DVDs is a little naff too. The buttons on the front feel a little cheap and the whole operation seems a little sluggish.

    I'm fairly new to dvd, and i only wanted something cheap. i was told not to bother with the cyberhome player by the guy in richer sounds, for the same price the limit was better. I was initially confused by trying in a strange hack (is this actually legal? But found once entered i was met with everything i could hope for (vcd and multi region)- the macrovision on/off function is a bit odd. Does this remove macrovision? The playback is really something special, i wasn't really expecting it to be ...

    I brought the Limit 8070 (8072) from Richer Sounds about three weeks ago. The person who works there recommended it to me saying that is was an absolute bargain at £80. It was easy to set up. The machine to look at seems a bit bulky but when you play DVDs on it you find that the picture and sound quality is really sharp. I liked the fact that I was given a hack that would allow me to play any region DVD. I think that the hack works because I can play VCDs on the player and it is not su ...

    I bought a Limit 8070 (8072) from Richer Sounds, who advised me to choose this player over the Acoustic 321 which I had intended to buy.

    Having read that some people had had problems with this player I decided to try it out before wrapping it (it's a birthday present for a relative) and compare it against my Wharfedale 750S.

    It's marvellous.

    It coped well with The Matrix, and, after unlocking, also played a Region 1 disk, a VCD and an SVCD with no problems whatsoever.

    I've not used t ...

    I just bought the Limit 9090, and I totally agree with the others reviews! It's fantastic and at the lowest price you can buy such a player. I don't know neither who are Limit, and the default language was french, too. SO????????

    I've also received the LIMIT 9090 DVD player from Richer sounds and have gone mental trying to find out about them. I agree that it is without a doubt the best dvd player i've had (ive gone through most of the Sony and panasonic brands), but it would be nice to know who made it and if they are producing another one soon. Any help anyone could give would be great!

    I wanted a Cyberhome ADL528 but Richer Sounds were out of stock, They recommended I go for the Limit 80702 at the same price, saying that it is usually much more expensive and a better machine all round.
    The multi-region hack will not work, and when playing VCD's the sound is out of synch with the picture. (Like watching a badly dubbed foreign film). DVD's are great, although the first one I tried would not play, this later cleared itself and it later played OK.
    Anyone else had the "out of ...

    The Limit 8072 DVD player is a great little machine which I bought to replace a Proline 1000 after trying a string of Dansai 952s. The remote and displays on the player seem to be indentical to the Dansai incidentally. Played everything I could throw at it: MP3s, VCDs SVCDs. Multi-region was easy. Great picture quality and no noticable pixelation. Sound output was great too. Excellent features for the price. You can't go wrong. I bought mine from Richer Sounds as they didn't have an LG in stock ...

    The Limit 8072 DVD player has excellent build quality & picture - plays everything you put in it, even SVCD. I have recorded a couple of VCD's on cheap CDR's which other mainstream players should have played but wouldn't & it had no problems at all. I would recommend this player to everyone.

    You won't find a better DVD player for the money than the Limit 8072. I bought this player recently. It plays everything, and plays them well, too. Supports DVD, VCD, SVCD, MP3 and Audio-CDs.
    The sound and picture are superb. The build quality is outstanding. In addition it has a very neat subtle neon-blue glow at the power switch and across the DVD drawer, when A DVD is inside. Looks very cool! I have used lots of DVD players including some which cost 3 times as much and this player does every ...

    The Limit 8072 DVD player is an excellent buy - was an upgrade from an LG which was rubbish. Was very cheap and although i have never heard of Limit, i would recommend this unit. Lets face it, all these features cost you in excess of £300 on a pioneer or JVC etc.

    I got this Limit 8072 DVD player as a replacement for an Accoustic Solutions 551 which was faulty. Once I'd got it home, it played for about thirty seconds before pixellating and then ceasing to play. Once I took my DVD out of the machine I noticed it had scratched the surface off the DVD which had essentially ruined it. Avoid like the plague!

    The Limit 8072 DVD Player is highly rated by Richer Sounds Staff.
    I cannot find any other reviews or details of the manfacturer anywhere.
    Well defined picture which is bright.
