    Good Points: Lots of features for the money - multi-region, progressive scan etc. Can't go wrong. Excellent picture - much better than my Panasonic RV20 which I replaced with the 57. Think these are now a very reasonable £120 in Richer Sounds.


    Bad Points: Doesn't play all types of discs automatically, unlike some of the very cheap machines you can get in places like Asda.


    General comments: The Cambridge Audio DVD57 is an excellent machine with good picture and sound quality and plenty of features for the enthusiast. Haven't had the opportunity to try the progressive scan feature yet, as TV not compatible.

    What a bad mistake that was !! I was already using a Toshibe 210E, which although is a budget machine, its picture quality and sound were superb. However it had become a bit 'clunky' looking, it was 2 years old and i want ...

    Finaly bit the bullet and got one of these even though it had not got an overall good rating from different sources.I found that after a few niggles with the first machine(which was one of the early versions). I exchanged it and now everything is great. I have the version 3 machine which they have brought out and it plays everything that I have trown at it bar DIVx discs. Did some research on it and found that it is produced here in the Uk the case comes from Sampo of china the drive mechanics a ...

    This machine wasn't my first choice of machine and was a replacement for a faulty Limit DVD9900SE. I had a choice at the same price between this machine and the Toshiba SD-520E and concidering that the latter machine can only do progressive scan in NTSC mode and this one can do it in PAL as well, this was to obvious choice.

    It should be noted that although the people in Richer Sounds said that they hadn't had any returns of the machines previously, the first machine they gave me and all the o ...
