Bought a Grundig GDV720 HT 24 hours ago for a good price (£137.00 - demonstration model). This is my first venture into DVD and I have to say that I'm impressed with this machine. Top class picture. Incredible sound. Loads of options. A lot of kit for the money.

For the price of this Grundig GDV720 HT, it is awesome. The picture and sound quality are both top notch. It plays all dvds from any region superbly, and it plays cd-r's with no comprimise in quality. I would highly recomend this to anyone looking for a quality budget home cinema system

All in all a good unit, the surround sound is good quality, the only downside is that if you go too high 45+ then the sub loops out and rattles but when the max volume is 50 who would really listen to it that loud. Admittedly it doesn't want to play VCD's I make or certain DVD's like Who Wants to Be a Millionaire interactive game, but with a region free hack it seems to sort these problems. I love the look of the main unit, a mirrored front when off but when on a nice LCD display. The power on button is a bit clunky but it does the job and is only small, but I keep it on standby all the time not needing to use the manual button. Very easy to wire up and the manual is more than helpful. Scart plug on the back so very easy to connect to TV. Plays MP3's, Radio (FM/MW), CD's and DVD,s with Dolby Digital 5.1 encoder built in. Best of all is the total customisation of the sound you receive, so many options. Can't fault the unit, especially for the price. Very good indeed. Sub £200 unit punching well above its weight. You will not be displeased with it.

I read Sean's review of the Grundig GDV720HT and would agree in every respect. I would be interested to know whether the cooling fan on the back of Sean's player ever spins (my unit gets very hot and the fan never seems to be spinning)!

Total true. The sound on this player is ace, but do you need a code to play the VCD's on it?

I bought this and after entering the region then VCD hack all my NTSC dvds look choppy as hell, I assume the player cant output NTSC but you claim they all look fine, is there a way to factory reset the player and Ill try without the VCD hack ?
