General Comments
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 Cambridge Audio DVD53. Richer Sounds have great customer service!!! The DVD is a different class. From it's color setup menus to it's Windows style navigation of photo (jpg) CD's and MP3's. Superb !! The Audio is very good, even from MP3 and it plays VCD's and SVCD's. Picture is also first rate. After 2 years of having Cyberhome (which was also good, but not as polished and died after a year), this looks like an excellent bit of kit. It is also built solid and feels like a £250+ piece of kit.
