CVD? $200 over 1 year 9 of 10 Comments: Damn good DVD player. I bought it in December 1999, and it's still running strong. I'm using Nero for my DVD burns. DVD+RW discs work fine. No problems encountered. .mp3's work fine too (including VBR), although I've not tried an entire DVD of .mp3's yet. I'll try that soon enough. No bitsetting hack has been needed for this drive to work with my +R and +RW discs. I've not tried a -R or -RW disc. I'll be trying out the DVD region hack in a couple of weeks. I have some region 2 discs coming from the UK, and I'm curious to see if I can play them here in Canada. Overall, I've been very happy with Hitachi. The only problem is very minor: it's slow to load discs, but then again it's 1999 technology too.

MP3 WMA CVD? $200 N/A 4 of 10 MP3 long filename Comments: Purchased player almost two years ago; used it sparingly. Recently, I've noticed that player often freezes or skips chapters near the end of DVD-ROM discs. DVD-R (generic 4X) discs skip chapters frequently, making movies unwatchable. VCD and SVCD support is excellent, although it takes a while for them to load. Unit is slow in loading most all media.

I only gave it a 9 because I thought it loaded a bit slow but everything else plays MP3, VCD etc. I returned a Panasonic cause it wouldn't play the movies and mp3's well

I used several types of media and they all work but for all my stuff I only use Fujifilm they real good and won't play bad after lots of uses. Great player.

I've also had problems trying to get some DVDs to work on DVD-RW discs. Very disppointed in those aspects, as my "clunky" $55 Apex AD-1200 DVD player handles all of them just fine!

CVD? $160 N/A 7 of 10 Comments: This does NOT play dvd-r, so I'm not sure why it says that on the vcdhelp specs here. I tried several dvd-r discs made with a Pioneer AO3 and a set top dvd-r recorder. It sorta plays them, but it encounters MANY freezes, skips and lock-ups. It also takes a long time to load up a disc. Ironically, DVD-RW seemed to be ok. VCDs and store-bought dvds seem to work great. But, I returned it because I wanted DVD-R compatibility.

Also, The disc navigation feature is so sweet. It loads pics of points in the movie (like chapter selection on a DVD) that you can skip to. Although I haven't been able to get a very high bitrate with XVCD (starts to stutter at 1300kbs), the picture stills looks good. My money was well spent

Ive tried over 12 brands of CDRs , no problem Ive tried 3 kinds of CDRW, no problem SVCD plays perfectly, MP3 plays fine My only problem is it takes a long time for the unit to read the discs when you insert them (approx 15 - 30 sec) but other than that its the best $240 CDN i have spend this year.

It also seems that the player remote can't be program on the Marantz RC5000i (nor the Pronto). I have tried everything and was not able to make it work. Exchange it against a Pioneer DVD-440.

Vcds play great, burned with vcdimager,nero or ezcd. Mp3s play great also. Dvds play flawlessly.. we also LOVE the bookmark feature that this player has. XVCDS,and lvcds play great also. never tested xsvcd yet. MPEGS burned (as a mpeg data cd with ezcd5 using a CURSOR 700 CDRW (silver cd, produced by gigastorage for futureshop) work great!! I am very impressed with this player and especially that it will pay mpegs burned on cdrw is a definate plus! I would definely recommend this player to anyone wanting a quality and versitile machine without costing a fortune. We rate this player a 10!

CVD? $160 N/A 8 of 10 Comments: At first i went with the Toshiba 2710 because Consumer Reports gave it a higher rating than the Hitachi Dvp 415. Well, the toshiba wouldn't play svcd's so I returned it and went with the Hitachi. It's great! It's plays all formats on all medias. I have two problems with this machine; it claims to have a random feature for mp3's but only with certain types of media. I have yet to figure out which brand supports this. Also, it is horribly choppy with my 700mb cd-r (cursor brand) for mp3's and will not play the whole track. Aside from these two small problems, everything is great. Picture quality, on screen features, price and it's ability to play what it claims makes this player earn it's keep. I recommend it.

Everyone at the store said that the panasonic machine was top of the line. But it didnt play svcds as i learnt only later. I mean that machine i had before was quality. You can tell that this machine is on the CHEAPER side.. But who cares, the picture quality is great, and it plays svcds, Which are amazing soo crisp and amazing.. So i gave this player a 8. I would reccomend it to anyone!
