    Good Points: Excellent picture quality / plays all regions / sharpness control and satauration are both welcomed and both perfection. Ease of use (couldn't resist that phrase) fast chapter search. A very interesting selection of sound modes adds a LOT to the enjoyment of your films. At 79 quid it is the best value. ALL in all, superb. (Like me).


    Bad Points: Haven't come across any.


    General comments: The Cambridge Audio DVD53 is a wonderful machine that I cannot recommend highly enough. Was purchased at Richer Sounds.

    I used review centre and happened upon the excellent reviews for Cambridge. Bought it, set up is easy and I was ready to go. The picture is clear, sound is excellent and it plays everything. It looks good and feels solid.

    Purchased the Cambridge Audio DVD53 DVD Player from shop with slight worries as It came not playing many formats. 45 seconds after plugging in with a quick hack supplied on the box it plays everything and I mean everything. Just this week purchased some DVD R discs and tried them on 9 yes 9 other machines, NONE of the other machines played them, this little beauty plays them like a dream. 30p a DVD R. Machine has paid for itself there. Sound quality is excellent and picture quality sharp.

    I have just bought this from Richer Sounds. I have had two Cyberhome 528's which were both good till they failed after 11 and 13 months respectively. Even though it failed out of warrenty, Richer Sounds replaced with another, and recommended the Accoustic Solutions 651. This was had bad LipSync problems and you have to keep goind into DVD setup to choose between 2 channel (down scart) and digital to decoder. As the kids use this, it is a major pain. Anyway, I returned it and took home a Cambridg ...

    Bought this Cambridge Audio DVD53 DVD player after taking a multi award winning Cyberhome unit home only to find it was truly horrid...bass notes like banging a big bit of bamboo..yuk.
    Anyway returned the Cyberhome unit and bought the Cambridge audio 53 player home...opened the box...oooh very nice...plugged it all in and no more Bamboo, doesnt like SVCD's very much but I guess that can be fixed with a bios update. plays cd's as good as my home cd deck...now all I need is a decent AV receiver ...

    i have noticed a lot of peaple saying that they can only find cambridge audio at richer sound i have been informed by the guy at richer sounds is that the owner of richer sounds helped out cambridge when they had a lot of money problems and so they made them the main trader also you will not find any other DVD player the same as this one as they are still made in england by cambridge audio in cambridge along with all the other items thay make wich i will say are all great not a bad one in there ...

    For the price this machine has it all, its multi region for a start which for the price is great value for money.It also plays also my vcds and dvdrs no problem which is a god send as i've been through numerous players trying to find one that will play all the formats i require.

    Picture quality is great with the blacks being very impressive on this player compared to similar priced players, while its audio playback is the nearest i have heard to cd player quality ever. Not only is this player ...

    I bought this player as a replacment for my bedroom DVD player, a high end sony player which my wife recently broke while cleaning lol. As always I researched the currently availablbe dvd players to find the best quality, at a reasonable price. This really is a case that does clearly show that a little research into what you buy pays off in heaps.
    Some may not be familiar with the brand Cambridge Audio, unless you're into high/mid range audio seperates, and in which case you will know they hav ...

    I spent quite a while looking for a DVD player and didn't want the spend the eqivalent of a small cars worth of cash, and this is the player that has it all. Seriousy - the only thing this model won't do is progressive scan. It has outputs for component video, Scart, RGB, S-Video, Coaxial and Optical Digital as well as being able to NTSC-Pal convert. Although the manual says it wont play VCD it will (I watched one last night). It has so many other features too. Looks wise it is a slimline silver ...
