Good Points: Slim, DivX-compatible along with pretty much everything else, excellent quality image and sound, 5.1 phono audio out on the back.
Bad Points: Can't think of any.
General comments: Yamada DVX-6100 DivX - Go and get one, don't think about it, they'll stop making it soon and the new version is very flimsy by comparison! It's got 5.1 audio out on phono plugs at the back, so buy a £60 5.1 surround system for a PC plus a bag of phono plugs and wire yourself up for action without spending £300 on a commercial surround sound system!

One of my best purchases of 2003. When I first got this Yamada DVX-6100 DivX dvd player I did have trouble getting some of my DIVX & XVID movies to play, but with each release of a new firmware, this player gets better. The latest version of this firmware is from December which I upgraded to last week and it now plays everything I throw at it! Even though the menu still only shows 11 characters, you can now press the DISPLAY button to show MP3 ID information.
This is a highly recommended p ...

And so I decided to spend a little extra and get this Yamada DVX-6100 DivX and try out all my DivX movies I have. So far I'm very impressed. The layer change pause either never happens or is very very quick, it's only skipped a frame in a movie once, the remote is great, it appears well built apart from the scart socket on ...

UMAX is a company that made its name with its quality-made scanner range for years now. When I first saw the name of this player (UMAX Yamada), it was easy to be sceptical for two reasons:
1)UMAX is famous for its scanners, so what do they know about DVD player design?
2)Yamada sounded to me like a name rip-off of Yamaha, an unfortunate choice of name for this player.
So I was sceptical until I read the reviews of people who already bought this player. I went for it and bought one too. My i ...

We have had our Yamada DVX-6100 for about 4weeks now. Had a bit of trouble upgrading the firmware.(this was mostly our own fault as we were not sure how to do it). Finally managed this and everything is working fine. Plays everything we have downloaded. Very pleased with it.
