    Good Points: Cheap.
    5.1 output.


    Bad Points: Remote control struggles to work across a room.
    Every now and again, it refuses to play some DVD's.


    General comments: OK its cheap, and you can get used to the poor quality remote control, which refuses to respond more than a couple of metres away, but it was cheap, so I figured you can't expect too much. The zoom feature goes from normal to twice the size, after having a toshiba with a staggerd zoom X1.5 etc, this is also annoying, but again its a cheep DVD player. Its latest Surprise feature, is to randomly reject my DVD's on the age restriction, regadless of what the age restriction on the DVD actually is. I have decided it is worth paying a little bit more for a good DVD Player, and I am trashing this piece of rubbish.

    I Bought my Mico Sofia 02A from Sainsbury's in Oxford for a great price. The Sound is very good, picture very good. Most of the reviews stated that the player would accept VCD's but there is a sticker on the boxes of those that do, so keep a look-out.

    Vibration hum on LOTR DVD's 1 and 2, which is distracting to say the least.
    Buttons on player and remote can be a bit unresponsive at times, but you get into the habit.

    Got this Mico Sofia 02A DVD Player from Sainsburies in Nottingham (Castle Marina) at £79.99 - I assume thats good value.

    Had a problem with a couple of Painting course DVDS where the menu doesn't show which chooice is selected so its always a surprise which chapter or section is coming!
    Anyone seen this sort of thing before?

    I have just bought the Sofia A02 and it is excellent value for money, except I did not realize it does not play VCD / SVCD out of the box. Sainsbury's in Upton Wirral has got loads of them if anyone is having difficulty getting one.

    For the money you would have to try hard to find a better bargain than the Mico Sofia 02A. The machine is Region Free out of the box and also can be locked to a region for RCE DVD Titles. The firmware is upgradeable by inserting a CD with the current firmware on it (Avaliable from Mico), hence it is future proof. It will play any media I throw at it, DVD/DVD-R/DVD-RW/DVD+R/DVD+RW/CD-R/CD-RW, and also any format Music, Video, MP3, Photo-CD, VCD, SVCD the list goes on! I would recommend it to anyo ...

    Went to Sainsburys to get the Mico Clasical, as I've read some good reviews. However, they only had the Sofia 02a, which as I've now found out is a later & even better model, but at an even cheaper price - £80!! From the sleek looks onwards it never fails to please. This will play any disc & has lots of extras. As for the performance, you'd have to pay an extra £200 to start noticing any difference.
