Encore DV-450

THE ENCORE DV-450 IS A GREAT AND FAIRLY CHEAP DVD PLAYER THAT I BOUGHT IN GAMESTATION HERE IN THE UK.

Some batches of the Encore DV-450 dvd player have faulty components which burn-out after six months rendering the product defunct but there is HOPE! I found the Aera450 web site and saved my original investment of 200 pounds by following the simple instructions.

I picked up one of these Encore DV-450 DVD players at a bargain price. Overall, I'm very pleased with my purchase. The grainy, almost pixellated blocks of colour on some dvd's proved annoying though, as I found my eye drawn to the offending areas. Sound quality is impressive when linked up to even the most basic speaker system.

The cd tray looks like it could be a cause for concern - discs sit loosely in the tray which wobbles uncertainly whenever you open or close it. On several occasions, the machine was unable to read discs and had to be prompted several times. However, you get what you pay for, and I am more than happy with this as a budget player.

The DV-450 DVD player is OK for a normal user (i.e. 1 to 2 DVDs a week) but if you are going to use it more intensely then better go for another DVD player.

complete waste of money, Player has frozen after 6 months and the company is no longer trading in the UK.

This DVD player completely freezes up. No sign of the company still trading. A complete waste of £200 - perhaps watchdog should investigate. Im sure i'm not the only one.

This set is a strict no for buyers, you will loose your money.

Having viewed several discs on the Tesco's sold Wharfedale it very soon becomes apparent that this is a much beter quality player with more easily accessible - and simply better features - the principal reason for this is because the build of the DVD drive is exactly the same as you would find in a high-end home PC and for only £199 you really do get value for money.
