    Good Points: Slim-line.


    Bad Points: Doesn't play WMV. No screen saver when playing music


    General comments: I first bought my 6600 in 2004 purely for the reason of freeing up my already cluttered up hard drive. Found it to invaluable. Even now four years later it has given me no reason to complain or grumble. Being able to play most forms of video codecs its been great to play what ever my TV card has recorded when the computer itself has had trouble. Being able to play MP3 DVDs means I can have a pretty full juxebox when friends come round even though it would have been nice to have a screensaver or animation like either the computer or modern games consoles have.

    I paid £79 for a Yamada DVX-6600 in March 2004, and was pleased it played almost everything I'd downloaded from the net. However, after 2 weeks the power unit died, and the player was replaced. 6 months later, the disc spin mechanism failed and the player was replaced. 5 months later (and just within warranty) the sound became echoed, and the machine was replaced. I managed to get a month's extended warranty from the retailer, and just as well because 2 weeks later the sound went again and ...

    Having downloaded a huge quantity of movies onto my hard drive and being sick of watching them on my lovely Belina 17" monitor I decided to get hold of a DivX/Xvid DVD player.

    Whilst out doing a bit of Christmas shopping I popped into WH Smith and guess what. Yamada 6600 DivX player for £59.00 (usually about £70) and guess my joy when the cashier says to me "there's another £10 off "

    Woo Hoo! As Homer would say.

    The unit comes in a silver finish and slim at roughly 6c ...

    This is a Brilliant DVD Player, well worth the price. I also trust that in the future the software upgrades will make this machine the ultimate DVD-Divx player around.

    I purchased my Yamada DVX-6600 for about £50 and it has performed faultlessly. Easy to use, clear instructions and even the kids can use it age 5 and 6 so not sure what is wrong with one of your other reviewers. Unfortunately it only takes one bad experience due to faults or user error to malign an excellent product. Hopefully this will help even things up!

    I just wanted to set the record straight from the bad review I read here. I was very skeptical about this machine being able to play a variety of avis. As soon as I had it set up, which was very straight forward I started testing it with a variety of formats. It exceeded my expectations. From about twenty files on both cd's DVD+ DVD- cdrw and dvdrw + it played all but two with picture and sound quality equal to using my computer which is loaded with every codec under the sun. It exceeded my expe ...

    I would not reccommend the Yamada DVX-6600 player to anyone. The manufacturer (UMAX) should be held responsible for lying to the customers as this machine should costs 10 quid in your local Tesco. Plays 1 from 10 MPEG4 discs, even stucks with some DVDs. Looks like the laser is very cheap and processor is very slow. I feel that better I would go for DIVx players of Philips or JVC you can buy now for the same price. I would suggest to look around first. Upgrade does not help. Please do not buy thi ...

    I a Yamada DVX-6600 in June 2004. It cost me £74.99, although you can get it now for £10.00 less. I needed a good Divx machine, and I was very happy to see it would also play other formats. Upon receiving the machine I tried most of the formats: VCD, MP3, Jpeg, Divx, AVI. It plays most things - but not all. It sometimes gets stuck and I have to switch off & on. It is also very slow to get going - sometime up to a minute before the file is shown. Please note: it does not play Window M ...
