Ok Its Cheap, And You Can Get Used To The Poor Qua
OK its cheap, and you can get used to the poor quality remote control, which refuses to respond more than a couple of metres away, but it was cheap, so I figured you can't expect too much. The zoom feature goes from normal to twice the size, after having a toshiba with a staggerd zoom X1.5 etc, this is also annoying, but again its a cheep DVD player. Its latest Surprise feature, is to randomly reject my DVD's on the age restriction, regadless of what the age restriction on the DVD actually is. I have decided it is worth paying a little bit more for a good DVD Player, and I am trashing this piece of rubbish.

I Bought My Mico Sofia 02a From Sainsbury's In Oxf
I Bought my Mico Sofia 02A from Sainsbury's in Oxford for a great price. The Sound is very good, picture very good. Most of the reviews stated that the player would accept VCD's but there is a sticker on the boxes of those that do, so keep a look-out.
Vibration hum on LOTR DVD's 1 and 2, which is distracting to say the least.
Buttons on player and remote can be a bit unresponsive at times, but you get into the habit.

Got This Mico Sofia 02a Dvd Player From Sainsburie
Got this Mico Sofia 02A DVD Player from Sainsburies in Nottingham (Castle Marina) at £79.99 - I assume thats good value.
Had a problem with a couple of Painting course DVDS where the menu doesn't show which chooice is selected so its always a surprise which chapter or section is coming!
Anyone seen this sort of thing before?

I Have Just Bought The Sofia A02 And It Is Excelle
I have just bought the Sofia A02 and it is excellent value for money, except I did not realize it does not play VCD / SVCD out of the box. Sainsbury's in Upton Wirral has got loads of them if anyone is having difficulty getting one.
I contacted Mico by email and even over Christmas and New Year they had emailed me the upgrade very quickly indeed. Superb support, nice little DVD player too!
I got the upgrade direct from Mico tech support in uk. There number should be inside the manual. if you post your email address, I can email the upgrade if you can not get it. Incidentally Sainsburys now selling player for £69.95.
Hi can't find the link anymore
You can get the upgarde mailed to you my contacting Pulse who do the tech support for Mico

A link for the download much appreciated, I can't find one...
Had the same problem with the vcd - downloaded the upgrade from somewhere and put it on a cd - put it in followed the instructions - and now it plays vcd - piece of cake - very impressed .

For The Money You Would Have To Try Hard To Find A
For the money you would have to try hard to find a better bargain than the Mico Sofia 02A. The machine is Region Free out of the box and also can be locked to a region for RCE DVD Titles. The firmware is upgradeable by inserting a CD with the current firmware on it (Avaliable from Mico), hence it is future proof. It will play any media I throw at it, DVD/DVD-R/DVD-RW/DVD+R/DVD+RW/CD-R/CD-RW, and also any format Music, Video, MP3, Photo-CD, VCD, SVCD the list goes on! I would recommend it to anyone.

Went To Sainsburys To Get The Mico Clasical, As I'
Went to Sainsburys to get the Mico Clasical, as I've read some good reviews. However, they only had the Sofia 02a, which as I've now found out is a later & even better model, but at an even cheaper price - £80!! From the sleek looks onwards it never fails to please. This will play any disc & has lots of extras. As for the performance, you'd have to pay an extra £200 to start noticing any difference.
My local Sainsburys have a large stock of the Sofia 02A in stock at £22.68 yes the price is correct at 14-1-05 just purchased one at this price no problems works perfectly and as commented elseware is multi-region straight out the box.
Regarding MP3 playback: I had same problem with the Mico Diamante 3000( ie. Mono, AND only ONE channel is playing both from the audio out and via an outboard digital converter), and so returned it, having reported to supplier - no comments or fixes received. It would seem that this model shares the same (faulty) chipset and therefore I will not be buying this model either - I need a player that can play (stereo) audio as well as video.
Bought this unit from sainsburys braehead Glasgow.
Did the upgrade DVD ,svcd,vcd OK but not greatas regards Mp3 sounding flat stick a pair of headphones on you might find its playing in mono as I discovered going to get in touch with pulse regarding this.
I just bought one from Sainsburys in Stockport on Sat, they had a few in.
Not sure where you're based, but Sainsburys had about 10 of them on the shelf in Richmond, Surrey last week.
